Spacious and modern room. Check in was a bit confusing, Expedia saying to contact 24 hours prior for check in info, which is not right, you get a text message the morning of check in. Would consider staying again.

Clean, comfortable local accommodation in Ballarat. It’s just behind a pub so there was a little noise from there on Saturday night, but nothing that interfered with our stay.

Property was clean with good facilities. Only downside was the skylights above the beds. These made it hard to sleep, especially for kids when it’s not dark until after 9pm at night.
