A beautiful weekend getaway.

This was my first time staying in the area & had no idea how beautiful it was. And probably wouldn't have experienced it had we not stayed in this house. It is in such a perfect location to walk around & experience the magic of Lake Wendouree. The house was very clean & beautifully decorated. We had a few extra questions prior to check in & the communication was quick & helpful. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you.

Excellent

We had an incredible experience during our stay! Phillip truly went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and enjoyment. Our young daughter was delighted by the ducks near the property and the fun games provided. Unfortunately, we accidentally left our blender behind, which we needed for our daughter's smoothies. However, Phillip demonstrated exceptional kindness by promptly sending it to us in Melbourne through Aus Post. We are absolutely thrilled with our experience and will unquestionably return to this amazing property. We highly recommend both the accommodation and the wonderful host, Phillip.

About the host

Hosted by Phillip Mobbs

I am an avid traveler and businessmen. We have loved setting this home up to be a place of joy for our guests.

Why they chose this property

This property is just in the best location! Opposite the north botanic gardens, and one house off the lake side. Many of Ballarat's festivals, bands and sporting events occur right near here. The home is a few minutes from the train station and has a tourist tram stop only a few meters away - this is fun and can take you to the botanic gardens and a restaurant / coffee shop. A variety of beautiful walks are within minutes reach. Plus you are near major supermarkets, retail district and most of the great things Ballarat has to offer! Enjoy.

What makes this property unique

The home is newly renovated with a great size kitchen, large bedroom and beautiful Frame Art Smart TVs. It is spotlessly clean and not too large or too small. Just right! Everything in it is brand new - from beds to linen to kettles, to plates to cooking utensils. The home has 6 beds and makes the price totally affordable.
