A great little place close to Soverign Hill

We were in Ballarat for the Winter Wonder lights at Sovereign Hill so having the house just around the corner was really convenient. A separate room for the kids to watch TV and DVDs was great and they thoroughly enjoyed the spa bath ! A cosy little place when we came in from the cold. Thanks for the stay.

Hi Mark Thank you for taking the time to review and for all the positive feedback. I am glad you found the location so easy and convenient. It is great that you found the central heating cozy during the cold-snap we had in Ballarat during your stay! Thanks also for letting us know that the second TV/DVD area and spa bath are a bonus for families. I really appreciate you taking such great care of "Barkly & Haymes" during your stay, we hope to see you next time you are in Ballarat.

Owner went 'above & beyond'!

I can't say we've ever stayed in a house where the owner was so friendly and happy to help in whatever way she could to make our stay the best it could be. Rachel really did go 'above & beyond' for us right down to info on Ballarat, good places to eat and what to do in and around Ballarat with kids. Our booking, payment and contact prior to stay was handled with the upmost professionalism. 'Barkly & Haymes' itself is in a great location, was airy and bright and the right size for our family of 5. The house was clean, well equipped, and the breakfast provisions were a nice touch for the weary traveller. Thank You Rachel for everything!
