Great stay
Lovely stay, very comfortable..Some minor things to improve but all small things such as cleanliness in kitchen drawers, etc... beds etc clean and comfy enough though.Bathroom nice but tlies very slippery and not great for anyone of a certain age or with a slight disability, but our host happily provided a chair for us which was great.Close to everything and we.thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Good location
Good little house if staying for short term. Great central location. Bedrooms comfortable. Kitchen well equiped. Plenty of dining space and large comfortable couch in lounge.Front has quite high steps and parking is beside the old cobble stone gutters found throughout Ballarat, so something to consider if travelling with disabled or elderly. Bathroom shower isn’t very strong at all and whilst ok for our two night stay, would have driven me nuts along with hand basin in the bathroom, which really needs fixing. Hooks in the bathroom to hang up clothes whilst showering would be awesome too.Overall very happy with our stay- just could do with some tweaks.

Ballarat short stay
Lovely property with everything as listed and a great stay.Only slight negative is the awful water pressure on the bathroom tap! Just a trickle! Minor issue but should be fixed as it is rather weird!

Central Cottage
Good location (on street parking) about 1km from CBD in an older part of Ballarat. Excellent pub close by. However, this accommodation is not suited to those with mobility issues, probably best suits young families/couples. There is no handrail up the three steps onto front verandah - a real concern when juggling luggage and walking stick! In the bathroom, the shower recess floor is treacherously slippery and again there is no handrail on wall for support; anyone could easily slip and fall. These simple additions would be worthwhile for safety reasons.The place was clean enough, but not spotless.

Not bad
Overall pretty happy, the cottage is cute and the street was lovely. We felt the tv in the sitting room mounted too high for the closeness of the lounge. Craning our necks got a bit uncomfortable. Maybe a little bin to be placed in the bathroom would be great. Had a bit of difficulty getting hot water in the bathroom sink, pressure not high enough for gas to cut in. Possible instructions for aircon or screens for windows to enable them to be opened without the bugs etc coming in. We enjoyed out stay all the same. Thank you

Very central to Ballarat sites of interest for us being Sovereign Hill and the Eureka Centre. Close to shops. Lovely big main bedroom. Was a shame it was so cold for us Queenslanders that we didn't get a chance to enjoy the nice back yard deck

Cute Cottage
Lovely place, but mattresses not very comfortable to sleep and couch to low to get up from, Traffic very noisy as they speed up and down the road, all hours of the day and night council should install speed humps.
