The rooms were clean and comfortable. We were located close to the pool. Lots of space for the kids to run around. Would of liked a BBQ area as it is challenging to head out for dinner with a bunch of tired and wild children.

    From the friendly greeting to an amazingly clean room I was very happy with my stay. This is an older motel and some of the bedding was also old but scrupulously cleaned and well presented.

    I cannot fault this place. We’ve been on the road for almost a month and stayed in a number of places. This has been our favourite! The house is beautiful, comfortable and very clean. It’s in an excellent location. They went above and beyond by having a well stocked panty with the basics, plus milk in the fridge and a coffee machine. Excellent communication from the owner. If we come back to Ballarat we will absolutely stay here!
