Cosy 3 Bedroom Family Cottage In The Heart Of Ballarat
Good, basic property. We didnt need much from the house so had most things. Road is quite high traffic so bedrooms are quite noisy.

The Provincial Boutique Hotel
Love the provincial! Stayed many times. Beautiful, comfortable rooms and the best location. I will never understand how a luxury priced hotel doesn’t have sound proofing against those boom gates going all night. Light sleepers beware!
