The property was kid friendly and was cosy and warm despite the freezing Ballarat temperatures! Highly recommend. We would stay again :) ##### Bethany R. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Gaynor L. Nov 4, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Worst place ever stayed! This property is inaccurately portrayed in many ways. There is no balcony, the barbeque is unusable due to rust everywhere, the bath is pink and disgusting, the garden has not been maintained, the windows need a clean, the cutlery had to be washed before being used, one of the two frying pans is very badly scratched and can't be used, the path you can see in the photos is half overgrown, and the list goes on. In summary, this property is poorly maintained and the only good thing to say is the linen was crisp and clean. Do not stay here!!! ##### Gaynor L.
