All the amenities catered for our needs. Host was helpful and accommodating to our requests.Found that the single bed in Bedroom 3 is actually a high bunk bed which meant the person planning to sleep there had to sleep on couch as could not climb the stairs. Also Bedroom 4 is bunk beds - not 2 singles - and only accessed via Bedroom 3 which made it not private. Felt the description should have explained the sleeping arrangement better. ##### Peter W.

We had 4 adults and 2 kids, 1 toddler and 1 baby and was a great size to cater for all. It can be a bit noisy due to the trains but overall it was a nice place to stay. Was clean however bins were full meaning we couldn't put all our rubbish in, there was a bit of dog poo in back yard which the toddler wanted to play with BUT they are only faults. I do recommend this place. ##### Kylie R. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leisa B. Jun 3, 2018 #### We had a great weekend away at Abode. Our weekend Away at Ballarat and our stay at this house was very relaxing, the house had everything we needed. It was lovely to arrive at the house on a cold evening, the heater and lamp was on, such a welcoming gesture. The house has everything you need also very family friendly. Comfortable beds, lovely linen and a wonderful kitchen. The only downside was that it was right near the train line and you can hear the trains. However an overall fantastic stay.
