Central, classic, comfortable, clean, charming
Beautiful place to stay! The house was spacious for 5 people with a beautiful outdoor area as well. The town is walking distance so heaps to do around the area. Geraldine is friendly and super easy to communicate with! She left us a welcome pack with some treats and snacks that were greatly appreciated!! Would definitely be back.

Cosy Cottage on Mair
What a great house to stay at in Central Ballarat. Easy walk to great cafes and restaurants. Jenny was very easy to communicate with, the accomodation was very pretty and comfortable. And we very much appreciated the thoughtful breakfast supplies left for us! Would definitely stay again- Thanks for having us!

Ellenslie
Doreen’s place is absolutely gorgeous! If you are heading to Ballarat, look no further. Great location - walking distance to Sovereign Hill, 5 min drive from central shops and restaurants. Massive space, especially great if you have kids. Our 4 year old loved the kids area with books, toys. Our family was very comfortable and we had a very comfortable stay.

Countryside Retreat near Daylesford & Hepburn
This was our second time staying at Richard's lovely country property. The kids loved the open space, and playing with their remote control boat on the little dam. The gardens and surrounds were lovely, with easy access to Daylesford and Hepburn Springs shops/ pubs etc, and the communication and instructions from Richard were excellent!

Ballarat's Best Lakeside Location Cardigan House
The home was very warm and cosy, particularly for such a cold long weekend. The home was clean and very well designed and laid out. We had all that was needed for a comfortable stay.

Noonameena, your Passive House bush getaway
We had an unforgettable stay at Noonanmeena, a stunning passive house set on 20 picturesque acres in Redesdale. The property is beautifully situated, backing onto the Coliban River, with easy access to Redesdale town center, just a short drive away. It's also conveniently located—only 25 minutes from Heathcote and 20 minutes from Lake Eppalock. The house itself is fantastic—spacious, comfortable, and perfect for families. Whether we were relaxing on the deck or taking a dip in the pool, watching the sunset was an absolute highlight. John was an exceptional host—welcoming, accommodating, and great to communicate with. Thank you for making our long weekend truly special—we can't wait to return!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would definitely choose to stay again on our next visit. Highly recommended!

Self Contained - Fantastic Location
We had a lovely two-night stay at Kurt and Nanette’s place in Golden Point, Ballarat. Kurt greeted us on arrival and was warm and welcoming, which set the tone for a great stay. The heater had been turned on beforehand, making the space feel cozy and comfortable on a chilly Ballarat afternoon. The bed was very comfortable, and we truly appreciated all the thoughtful touches. There was a generous selection of treats provided, everything we needed for a relaxed and enjoyable visit. The space was spotlessly clean, well-appointed, and perfect for a short getaway. We would highly recommend it and would be very happy to stay again.

Lakeside Suite 3
Had a wonderful stay, the place was everything as described, spacious, very clean and well equipped with everything you need, and we especially liked that it was so close to Lake Daylesford. The balcony backed out onto the lake and was the prefect spot to relax and watch the sunset. Something to note for anyone with mobility issues, this suite (3) can only be accessed by a slightly steep flight of stairs which proved to be a little difficult for my elderly mum, would’ve have been great if this was included in the details beforehand. There also seemed a slight problem with toilet seat (wasn’t fitted properly) and some information contained in the ‘information file’ in the suite contradicted with the details (check-out times) that was provided. However overall, we had a fabulous stay, it is a gorgeous place and would definitely recommend!

City and Beach Retreat
I can really recommend Chris’ lovely Airbnb. Chris is very friendly and helpful. There were so many really nice things to make us feel at home, like great shampoo, exquisite towels, lovely gorgeous small chocolates for the kids. The apartment/unit was so great. It is very close to the beach and many good restaurants which also provide take away. Easy to find the trams taking us into Melbourne city center. We recommend staying and would love to come back another time.

Newly renovated. Stylish apartment with balcony.
Livio's place was nothing short of a haven for my stay. It's very walkable, with a tram stop that takes you to the heart of the city 2 minutes away. Southern Cross is also right there, about a 10 minute walk but makes for super easy check in if you're flying. Bed was super comfortable, and he'd left a few snack/ breakfast things available for me as well which made the morning after I landed really convenient. Will absolutely book here again next time I need something central Melbourne.

The house is clean and peaceful, beautifully located by the lake. It’s especially delightful to take a stroll at sunset. I really enjoyed my stay and hope to visit again in the future.

Cute Cottage Cute Town Newstead
Neal was a great host from check in to check out! All the thoughtful extras were appreciated. The cottage felt very welcoming and homely on arrival and throughout our stay. A beautiful base to travel within the Central Goldfields region. Neal's knowledge of the area and recommendations were appreciated as we were able to visit some of these places which we enjoyed.

Stephanie’s pet friendly 2 bedroom Cottage.
What a beautiful place to stay for a few nights. Close to Daylseford and Kyneton which are lovely to visit, all while staying somewhere very peaceful and quiet. We loved it here, there are kangaroos everywhere. The house is very well fitted out, warm with a lot of room. We loved the pizza that Stephanie made us. Our dog really enjoyed the walks - one thing for all dog owners to note is the very safe and secure yard around the house. Our dog was able to wander around without us having to worry about her getting out of the yard! We will definately be back.
