![Have you ever been to Lake Wendouree in Ballarat? Even though most of the people go to Ballarat to the iconic Sovereign Hill, Lake Wendouree is another lovely place worth visiting when you are in the area. I went there last Friday and as I came across to these boat sheds this particular once capture my attention. I decided to wait until sunset when the light gets better to photograph it.

### Quest Ballarat

8/10 Good

"Clean rooms. The room I was in the bathroom was nothing special but you have everything you need in the room. I rate it, I’ll be going back. Parking on site is not ideal. It’s shared with the apartments out back, so first in first served otherwise street parking is your only option."

### Craig's Royal Hotel

8/10 Good

"Beautiful old building. Foyer/reception area feels grand & the heritage is preserved. Room decor is nice but the rooms are a too dated (grandma’s house) for my liking but could look beautiful if designed right. Mattresses are very soft. Rooms clean. Staff were great. Great location."
