Long weekend in Ballarat
Nice quiet weekend taking in Ballarat’s surroundings,Our house was cute and had a lot of old world charm. Easy walk to the Grape Hotel (recommend) a massage from Hot rock spa over the road and fantastic walk down to local shop ‘drive’for breakfast. Yum! House has everything you probably need. Just needs garden neatened up a bit.

Easy Access
The house was really easy to get to and access. Able to communicate efficiently with the property manager along the way. This house is an absolute gem, and some very nicee antiques & rustic staging. Fresh eggs from the resident chickens was a nice touch as well. I only wish it was cold enough during our stay to justify using one of the three wood burning fireplaces.

Stunning Ballarat Property
Where do I begin!!! The house is absolutely stunning, with an elegant and authentic feel. From beautiful linen bedding, attention to detail in the furnishings and freshly laid eggs for breakfast….what a treat! The location was great too. Jo has provided a stay to remember and I can’t wait to return.

Excellent option for a stay in Ballarat
I couldn’t believe my good fortune in having the opportunity to have a one night stay at Llanfyllin at relatively short notice with my partner, daughter & pet Otto in tow. The hospitality provided exceeded our expectations and the efforts by our hosts were second to none. The house is large & comfortable with many surprises inside & out. The location is close to the city centre and the neighbourhood is picturesque. Communication with our hosts was welcoming & professional. We look forward to having a return to Llanfyllin in the future for a longer visit.
