What a gem of a home

The home is absolutely lovely, very welcoming, in a quiet street, comfortable and had everything you could need including food essentials and central heating for those chilly nights. It is also very welcoming for pets and the yard is secure. It is located within a short walk to the lake. It is the most homely accommodation I have stayed in. Thank you Geraldine!

Brilliant centrally located pet friendly house

Skye House more than met up to expectations based on the description in Stayz. Communication with Geraldine was easy and responsive. She is extremely generous with what is provided for guests (including our furry friends), particularly in relation to what’s in the pantry and fridge. The house is in a very convenient location and is surrounded by other renovated and lovely houses. It was well heated, and beautifully appointed; very comfortable with several sitting areas; secure for our dogs, and Geraldine had left throws for the couches, and a towel to ensure the dogs were clean and dry when inside. We were sorry to leave, and will book again when we are in Ballarat.
