Comfy family stay

We had a lovely time in this comfortable and cosy cottage. It was a great place for a winter getaway! The kids had a great time, so much to do in Ballarat. The cottage was easy to find and easy to get to all the places that we wanted to visit!

Perfect cottage stay

We loved our stay at Pound Hill Cottage. It was amazingly clean and cosy. It had the perfect bedroom set up for our family. The kids loved staying there, as did we. Being just out of the town centre of Ballarat made for a quiet stay. The drive back into the town centre was quick and easy. We would definitely stay here again.

A perfect getaway with two small children. We'll be back once the weather is nicer.

A clean and beautiful secluded cottage. Felt like a real escape and even though it largely rained, the cottage was perfect: clean, well equipped, large enough for a family of 4 and the kids loved the little touches, like the drawing table, pencils and colouring books. We'll be back when the weather dries up a little so that we can explore the surrounding farmland.

Wonderful and cute cottage

Fantastic place for a family to stay. Very quiet and peaceful location but very close to all that Ballarat, Creswick and Wendouree have to offer. Our host Kylie was extremely helpful and the cottage itself has everything you need to keep warm in winter. I’ll be recommending this cottage as a great place to stay to my friends visiting ballarat.

Family Holiday to Ballarat to catch up with Family

Great property which had everything we needed in a lovely quiet location with good views over the neighbouring paddocks. The perfect spot to use as a base to catch up with family and to explore the local area. Would definitely recommend.
