"TV, microwave and kettle/toaster nice. Lights for some reason had no covers on them, too bright to leave on without the covers. Ended up finding them in the cupboard, carpet was a little sticky. Room wasnt available until a little after 2. Parking was limited car park was all filled up when we arrived back to hotel no where to park. We ended up leaving at 1130 pm to go back home. Would be suitable for couples or singles only staying a little while. Didnt suit us a family."

From the moment I arrived, the staff was welcoming, friendly, and helpful. My little cabin was great - clean and comfy with plenty of tea and biscuits. I had wi-fi, TV, a comfy bed with an electric blanket, and was close to some of the Ballarat attractions. One of the staff even offered to drive me to the station when it was time for me to leave. I will definitely return for an even longer stay next year!

Great quick check in. We were just staying one night on the way to Tullamarine airport in Melbourne. A spacious room with a very comfortable bed. Bloomin' luxury with the electric blanket as it was a chilly day! The view was lovely and we also appreciated the blinds at night time. I didn't indulge in the hot tub but it was extremely tempting! We loved the easy walking proximity to resturants and shopping. Desi Vibes fed us amazing Indian cuisine. We would love to return and explore more of...
