Jacks_placeballarat. Original 1960s classic.

Step back in time to a hilltop house with views across the city through picture windows. Exposed brick and the extensive use of natural wood maintain a mid-century atmosphere, enhanced by period furnishings and gleaming softwood floors throughout. The House Manual provides information about Jack's, as we call our house. We do not host guests with accompanying pets and smoking on any part of the house and property is not acceptable. If these rules are not to your liking then please do not book. Jack's Place is an original 1960's architect designed house. A master bedroom with direct access to the bathroom (en-suite except it is the only one!). The second bedroom features jarrah flooring and exposed brick wall. The living area features a unique view across the City especially at night. Functional kitchen and laundry, air conditioning and heating. The rental terms are for the whole house but if a couple book then it is expected only one bedroom is used. On booking it is best to clarify if both bedrooms are required. If not we do not make up the second bed. Jack's Place is a free standing brick residence with its own car space. There is a walled courtyard and front lawn area/garden (yet to be fully developed ). Cate and I live behind Jack's Place and both properties share a driveway. Naturally the drive must be kept clear at all time. More than happy to be contacted with any questions relating to Ballarat in general, food, wine and things to do. This 1962 house is in Golden Point, an old area in the City of Ballarat, about 125 kilometers west of Melbourne. These days the architecture of the area varies from 1860s dwellings, California bungalows, and modern high-density residences. Ballarat's main street is Sturt St. It is about a ten minute walk to the town centre and less to major supermarkets. Parking in town is charged via meter all week. On the edge of the central business district parking is free. Parking around the restaurant area of Armstrong St is difficult. My advice is to walk to dinner and Uber home. Local buses are confusing. Only a few minutes away is The Grapes Hotel, friendly and reliable. Ballarat weather can be variable. I have no control over the weather! We are perched about 375 metres above sea level, cold in Winter and hot in Summer. Summer nights tend to cool down. To keep the house warm and you comfortable, draw the blinds and turn on the heating. There are electric panel heater available in the house. Be very aware that they are not suitable for use when young children are part of the guest party. To cool the house, draw the blinds, close all windows and unnecessary doors and set the cooling for 10C below the outside temperature.

Rosie’s Cottage- Buninyong

DevinkaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Rosie's Cottage was a wonderful place to stay. The property was easy to find, very well equipped with not even a speck of dust, and in peaceful surroundings. We loved walking on the 4WD trail leading from the property, having breakfast at the table on the verandah, watching Netflix on the couch, and cooking in the kitchen. Our dog also loved being able to run off-lead in the enclosed back yard. It was also lovely to meet Sonya when we arrived.

NigelRating, 5 stars1 week ago

What a beautiful cosy place to stay! Well decorated, and clutter-free. Comfortable furniture and clear entry instructions made for an easy family stay. A few small things like fumbling our way around the ducted gas heating and malfunctioning external sensor light were all we could report. Would recommend this cute place to all looking for a private stay.

Cottage D'Or

LisaRating, 5 stars5 days ago

This little cottage was picture perfect and a real treat for myself and two teenagers. So many thoughtful extras and the decor was so tasteful. The kids loved the choccies and chips, thank you! The pullout was very comfortable, as was the main bed. Looks larger than the pictures. Honestly had everything we needed for a brief stay and couldn’t be happier. Full sized kitchen with dishwasher and laundry facilities were very appreciated.

Lia and Harlan's place is a great spot for your Ballarat stay, be it a weekend or longer. Conveniently located, we walked everywhere. Aldi is just down the road for supplies.

So impressed with Lisa’s place. Was just like staying at a friend’s house.

Cecilia's place was perfect for our one night stay in Ballarat. It's central, yet private and it's sparkling clean. There's everything you need in the kitchen and bathroom for your stay. Cecilia has gone above and beyond to include lots of little touches to make the place feel like home. She was a very responsive host who communicated respectfully. Would highly recommend!
