Please review the agreement in your guest portal and house guides (digital & print) House Rules To ensure a pleasant stay for everyone, please follow these guidelines: Be Nice: Treat our staff and contractors like the rockstars they are. Smoking: Allowed only outdoors, away from doors and windows. Don’t worry, the plants won’t mind. No Firearms: Leave your slingshots and cannons at home. No Fireworks: Because we don’t want your holiday to end with a bang (literally). No Illegal Activities: We’re not running a crime drama here. Keep It Down: Channel your inner ninja and keep noise levels reasonable. Guest Limit: Only the number of guests listed in the booking can stay overnight. No sneaky sleepovers. No Parties: Let’s keep it cosy, not crazy. Pets: Only dogs are allowed at our properties, and only with prior approval. Check the listing for specific pet rules—Fido deserves a holiday too, but only if we've given the green light! Upon Check-Out Dishes: Wash and put away. Pretend you’re at home and your mum is watching. Turn Off: All lights, heaters, and coolers. Help us save the planet. Pet Cleanup: Don’t leave us any surprises. Clean BBQ: If you used it, give it a scrub. We love a good BBQ, but not the cleanup. Trash: Put it in the correct bins outside. Channel your inner recycling guru. Linens: Don’t wash them. Seriously, we’ve got it covered. If these rules are broken, we may have to cancel your stay with no refund. We really don’t want to do that. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Firepit - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 11,840 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99250000/99246900/99246857/w1024h680x0y3-1ad3b3b2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Walk to Sovereign Hill, Cafes & Shops from this historic, pet-friendly villa.

No phone numbers for host in an emergency, No heating in either bathrooms. Set of drawers in main bedroom very unstable. Beds and electric blankets were good. Oven was extremely dirty. Heating in lounge kitchen is adequate. it took 5 hours to heat up as it was 8 degrees in Ballarat. On site parking has broken concrete which is uneven Toaster so small that it will not hold a full slice of bread. This could be a lovely place to stay if these things are remedied, ##### Sue B.
