Welcome to our beautiful ‘Linton Retreat Bed and Breakfast’ in the most picturesque location on the Ballarat Skipton Rail Trail. Peaceful relaxing location with a beautiful outdoor spa in an enclosed spa house.

Linton is one of Country Victoria's best kept secrets, located 20 minutes to the nearest major shopping centre (Delacombe Town Centre) and 30 minutes to the Ballarat City Centre. ‘Linton Retreat’ offers our guests a contemporary peaceful accommodation in a wonderful bush setting, easy walking distance to the Linton shops and the Ballarat Skipton Rail Trail at your door step.

We built this cottage specifically for guests to include wonderful views, peace with double glazed windows and elegant chic furniture. Our cottage facilities have all the comforts and technology to support your stay, with 2 smart TV's one upstairs and one downstairs, 2 split systems one upstairs one downstairs to ensure you are perfectly comfortable during winter and summer. There are two toilets with the first in the main bathroom and the second upstairs. To keep you connected we have free WIFI.

Our cottage can sleep up to 4 with a beautiful King Bed upstairs and two double sofa beds available. The 2nd lounge upstairs converts into a double bed with a Japanese divider separating the king bed and divan for privacy. If needed and downstairs the lounge converts into another double bed.

Continental breakfast is available for our guests and is complementary on your first morning. Other options for meals include bring your own for self-catering or enjoy Linton's Local Cafe, Pub or Takeaway.

If you love history you can venture out with the ‘Walk or Drive Tour’ history guide available. We have many places to explore like ‘Devils Kitchen’ a rock outcrop.

The cottage has stairs and is not recommended for persons who would find the stairs a challenge although we have bedding and all you need downstairs. To keep the children safe, we have a latch on the upstairs bedroom door and for the adult’s peace of mind. Pets not allowed because we don't have an enclosed area. We have all you need to explore Linton inside the cottage with books and maps.

A hidden gem

We had a very relaxing stay at the beautiful cottage. The cottage was very clean, the kitchen was perfect with all that we needed. The beds were clean and soft. The spa was very nice to use after a day of hiking and biking. The host also provided 3 bikes which we made full use of. Would highly recommend this place and would surely visit again.

Quiet and Peaceful

This was our second time here. The cleanliness was great, the views were great, a beautiful spot to stay! Such an amazing place to stay, the spa was great also! Though 2 things did stand out to us, I think having silicone on the shower door would be beneficial, as the bathroom floor gets drenched whilst showering. Also, my partner fell down the entire back steps and injured himself as they were extremely slippery with the wet weather. I suggest putting some anti slip guides on each step. Other then that, we had a wonderful and relaxing time away :)

A delightful short stay

Linton Retreat and Spa was so peaceful and beautiful we spent a bit of time fantasising about moving to Linton. The cabin would be great for a small group and is perfect for a couple. The hot tub soothed away anxiety and replaced it with a relaxed well being. There were generous and high quality supplies - home made bread, jam, plenty of milk, cereal, butter and so on. The Retreat is an easy walk to town. We had a fun night at the local pub and then enjoyed a stroll home. It was quite cold (-3 one morning) but the cabin was cosy (except for the bathroom- maybe that could have some kind of a heater. We hope to be back soon. It was perfect for us.

Amazing relaxing getaway

We cant highly recommend this getaway enough, The communication was really great - the accommodation was as advertised- we had everything we needed for a home away from home. The whole place was very clean and tidy. The best part was the amazing jacuzzi - it was so clean and warm- and we loved the privacy- Thank you for the robes and thongs that made it comfortable- also the water to keep hydrated.

Beautiful, cosy little cottage

We had a wonderful stay and Halina is an amazing host. The house is cosy, very well appointed, clean and with lots of nice little touches to make you feel right at home. The kids had plenty of space to run around outside and kick a footy and play. Awesome spa to relax in too 😁. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful stay with amazing features

Halina's cottage was spotlessly clean and had modern, cozy vibes. The spa is the best we've seen and is absolutely delightful to use both during the daytime with the sunshine and trees surrounds and during the night with the spa lights and whimsical fairylights. The bikes are a treat, especially with the beautiful tracks nearby. The bed was super comfy and we appreciated the multiple towels and bathrobes that were left for us. Halina was a great host, quick and happy to help with whatever we needed. Definitely recommend this stay!

ooked this cute little house to surprise my friend,sarah,for her b'day.The house/surrounds w breathtaking,& lets not forget to mention to fabulous hot tub!Sarah & i had the best time & couldn't wait to plan our next trip here!That was all unil we were packing the house/car ready to check out at 10am!The host,Who lives next door, saw us packing the car when she decided to come over & introduce herhelf.That was fine however as the host was walking towads us she noticed some food scraps i had thrown on the front lawn for the chooks/birds to enjoy.The host was not happy to discover the mess.we felt very uncomfortable with her response.I offered to pick to food scraps up but host stated "it was fine, i guess."As we proceeded to pack the car our host went inside the house,upstairs,down stairs,all alone while we were outside packing to leave.We still had 10 mins left to check out!!!Sarah & i found this experience extremely rude & unexceptable!!We did not get an opportunity to re-access the property to check that we packed all our belonging!How can this be allowed?We felt we were treated very unsatisfactory & have never been treated as such before!To top it off Sarah had some incense burning & the host harshly said "this is a non smoking house!!"Are you serious?!?!One last gripe-the way we were approached about the hot tub!We turned it off at night to save power & energy,thinking we were doing the right thing!The host snarled at us about that too.Host spoilt our beautiful getaway!!
