Intro to Ballarat
We took this property as a staging point to our permanent move to Ballarat and what a joy it was. Perfectly clean and very cosy we were able to have some relaxation for a few days. Close to everything so very convenient and could take our little 4 legged friend as well. The cottage was a lovely respite from the chaos of moving home.

Christmas in Ballarat!
The is property was fantastic for me and my family for 2 nights to celebrate Christmas. Unlike some other properties in the past this place had ALL the essentials you could expect to need which was a nice suprise. And the large double oven was perfect for Christmas lunch Thanks so much.
