Victorian Charm Central Ballarat
We stayed here as a family of four while our teenage sons competed in a rowing regatta at Lake Wendouree, and it was a great choice. The house was clean, the beds were comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. We picked this house becvause of the BBQ area and the pool. The pool was ideal—warm thanks to the solar heating and well-maintained. Being indoors, we could use it despite Ballarat’s cooler evenings. An ideal way to relax and recover after a long day at the regatta. Overall, the house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and we'd happily stay here again.

Sky High- iconic ridge-top retreat
Great place, great location and great directions for getting inside. 5 stars

Ballarat Central Family Getaway
We stayed at David’s Airbnb for the long weekend and loved our stay. Fresh flowers and chocolates were left as a lovely welcome, the house was spotless and has everything you could ask for. The pool was perfect for the hot weekend we had too. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

Istana Lodge ~ Daylesford Region ~ Idyllic Retreat
What an absolutely beautiful place! It was sweltering hot when we stayed and yet the beauty of the house , its entertaining area and the furnishings inside and out were so mind blowingly beautiful the chest was quickly forgotten. Whoever owns the house is very cultured, well travelled and has an eye and we are very grateful that they share it with people like us. Beautiful. And the restaurants nearby are exceptional. We ate at Sault and it was better than most Melbourne restaurants in our opinion.

Porcupine Country Retreat Ten Mins from Daylesford
Nigel was amazing, super responsive and helpful! We had a lovely stay at porcupine ridge! Beautiful views, cozy place that felt like home! Will definitely be booking again in the future. Thank you for your hospitality.

Gold Dust Hepburn - Swimming Pool & Valley Views!
My family and I (including our german shepherd) had a great few nights here. The house is big and roomy and well appointed. Huge TV and kitchen and comfy beds. Outside, is a decking area with bbq and table leads to large mid level decking area for lounging and a low deck adjacent the pool for chilling by the water. The pool is not heated but is great on a hot day (and the pool isn't huge so don't expect to swim lengths but is good size for cooling off, family fun and games). The house is walking distance to Hepburn and the general store and a couple of shops/restaurants. A short drive to Daylesford. Really enjoyed it, thanks!

Luxury with views & a pool
The house was perfect- we booked on a whim and the kids wanted a pool- which was absolutely beautiful and came with pool toys and a great recliner seat! Although not heated, we thoroughly enjoyed our time in and out of the home. Laundry with great facilities made it easy to dry off in our time between pool vs indoors. The side lawn with a cubby house, coupled with 2 outdoor lounge areas was a major plus. We each had to work a portion of our holiday so the great home office set-up was a huge plus point! Master ensuite was VERY luxurious. Great couch for the whole family to lounge on, with 3 TVs (1 with games!) to utilise meant kids didn't fight. The house is located in an Uber Eats delivery zone which made meal time super convenient. Linen& towels were v clean. Overall, we'd love to return and enjoy this beautiful home. Thank you for great, speedy communication, and for hosting such a lovely stay for us.

Rosehill Family/Group Entertainer - Pet Friendly
Lucy's home was just amazing. Everything we wanted to see and do was close by, though we had such a quiet and serene location away from the hustle and bustle. It was great coming home from a fun day out to have a swim in the outdoor above ground pool and then relax on the sun lounges. We had fun playing tennis and basketball on the full sized court in the yard and sitting in the alfresco area at dinnertime. Every detail was thought out well, from the beautfiul linens, abundant quality towels and toiletries, fragrant candles and quality furnishings. We would love to come back one day again.

Well-Preserved Quintessential 1960s Bungalow Near the CBD
Michael & Cate’s 60’s house is a fabulous base from which to explore lovely Ballarat. The house is a destination in itself, being so eclectic and interesting. I really enjoyed the courtyard and the quiet surrounds. I hope to come back. Thank you 🙏

Renovated Retreat with outdoor bath (Pet friendly)
We absolute loved our stay at the Creswick Retreat. We spent so much time on the back deck enjoying the weather, and our dog loved the huge backyard! Walking distance to the main street in town with some excellent cafés and restaurants for a small town 😍 We were also very pleasantly surprised to see how close the lake was and enjoyed a dip on the hot summer days!

Entire Home close to Freeway & Ballarat CBD
I visited from out of state, so initially finding the place was a slight mystery as maps wanted me to make some illegal turns. However, once I found it getting back everyday was super easy. The place is exactly as shown in the listing, very spacious, clean, quiet, and worth the money. I would highly recommend it to others!

Enjoy a unique boutique space in a great location
Andrew was very communicative before we arrived giving details about his place and the local transport etc. on arrival he welcomed us and showed us through pointing out all the things he thought we should know and had lots of extras like coffee pods, milk, jams and spreads that we could use. Will return when we have another weekend in Ballarat.

We wanted a homely experience and that is exactly what we got. Comfortable, great location and suited what we needed. My mum picked this as her first foray into the Air bnb world and she was happy

Aurum House; heritage style and comfort
This is a spectacular place to stay. My husband (!) and I were here for our wedding weekend, staying with a group of friends and using the space for a myriad of events. It was wonderful seeing everyone’s face light up as they walked in the main entrance … the decor is even more beautiful than the pictures! Every surface is filled with a beautiful trinket or arty curiosity… and is completely dust free! I honestly don’t know how Dionne manages it. Communication with the host was outstanding, and she was super flexible with any changes. We had one of the best weekends of our lives here, and highly recommend it to others.
