Historic Linton Post Office

Welcome to the Historic Linton Post Office. This beautiful character filled building was built in 1880 and is situated in the centre of the quaint township of Linton in Western Victoria.

Linton is a picturesque old goldfields town located approximately 25 minutes west of Ballarat and 2 hour drive from Melbourne.

The Post Office is in a great location with easy access to the Skipton Rail Trail and Goldfields Track and a short drive to neighbouring country towns of western Victoria.

The Post Office has been converted from its original purpose into a comfortable three bedroom and two living area home that can comfortably accommodate 8 guests.

Two bedrooms have queen sized beds and the third bedroom has a single bed plus a bunk bed (the bottom bunk is a double and top bunk is a single).
All beds have electric blankets, pillows and linen provided.

A range of activities are supplied to be enjoyed in the spacious living area during your country getaway: books, movies, board games or choose to just relaxing by the open fire.
The kitchen and dining room area have all the comforts of home. Fully stocked pantry with ample breakfast items and ingredients to make a meal on your first night is provided and can be enjoyed by the slow combustion heater. A fully equipped kitchen and bbq area wo t disappoint.

Autumnal peace and quiet
Book this place if you like peace and quiet, if you appreciate history, if you love trees, long walks, fireplaces (plural), if you want your doggo to be happy, if you hope to cook a meal, sleep well and if you love the idea of a fabulous retro/antique shop next door. A+ host. Don't book this place if you are hoping to replicate your suburban life in the country. We can't wait to return.

Lovely stay in the country
Older property with lots of charm. Ballarat is known for it's cool winters and it lived up to this. The wood heater provided lots of warmth and a lovely atmosphere to this rural township dwelling. The kind host provided us with some supplies to begin our stay. I had grown up in a similar home, so it brought back many happy memories. Recommended. Lots to see and do in` Ballarat and surrounds.
