Jacks_placeballarat. Original 1960s classic.

Step back in time to a hilltop house with views across the city through picture windows. Exposed brick and the extensive use of natural wood maintain a mid-century atmosphere, enhanced by period furnishings and gleaming softwood floors throughout. The House Manual provides information about Jack's, as we call our house. We do not host guests with accompanying pets and smoking on any part of the house and property is not acceptable. If these rules are not to your liking then please do not book. Jack's Place is an original 1960's architect designed house. A master bedroom with direct access to the bathroom (en-suite except it is the only one!). The second bedroom features jarrah flooring and exposed brick wall. The living area features a unique view across the City especially at night. Functional kitchen and laundry, air conditioning and heating. The rental terms are for the whole house but if a couple book then it is expected only one bedroom is used. On booking it is best to clarify if both bedrooms are required. If not we do not make up the second bed. Jack's Place is a free standing brick residence with its own car space. There is a walled courtyard and front lawn area/garden (yet to be fully developed ). Cate and I live behind Jack's Place and both properties share a driveway. Naturally the drive must be kept clear at all time. More than happy to be contacted with any questions relating to Ballarat in general, food, wine and things to do. This 1962 house is in Golden Point, an old area in the City of Ballarat, about 125 kilometers west of Melbourne. These days the architecture of the area varies from 1860s dwellings, California bungalows, and modern high-density residences. Ballarat's main street is Sturt St. It is about a ten minute walk to the town centre and less to major supermarkets. Parking in town is charged via meter all week. On the edge of the central business district parking is free. Parking around the restaurant area of Armstrong St is difficult. My advice is to walk to dinner and Uber home. Local buses are confusing. Only a few minutes away is The Grapes Hotel, friendly and reliable. Ballarat weather can be variable. I have no control over the weather! We are perched about 375 metres above sea level, cold in Winter and hot in Summer. Summer nights tend to cool down. To keep the house warm and you comfortable, draw the blinds and turn on the heating. There are electric panel heater available in the house. Be very aware that they are not suitable for use when young children are part of the guest party. To cool the house, draw the blinds, close all windows and unnecessary doors and set the cooling for 10C below the outside temperature.

The House at No. 10 in the Heart of Ballarat

The house was built in 1905 and features original decorative fireplaces, high ceilings, and timber floors, along with a piano. Guests will be left with their privacy and do not need to interact with the host. The host can be contacted any time by phone with any concerns or issues, or for any help you require during your stay. Circumnavigate Lake Wendouree, a scenic 6 kilometres, and within walking distance of the house. Subway, Crust Pizza, and Sushi are all moments away, with a longer stroll to the centre of Ballarat offering a wide choice of restaurants and bars. Electric blankets provided in winter.

The Botanist's House

JamesRating, 5 stars4 days ago

Had a wonderful stay at The Botanist's House, hosted by Cheryl and David. Cheryl and David were wonderful hosts and go above and beyond to welcome their guests. From switching on the heating ahead of our nighttime chilly June arrival to lovely personal touches; a welcoming notes, home-made goodies etc. they really go that extra mile to make you feel welcome. The house is beautifully presented and furnished, immaculately clean and extremely comfortable. It has absolutely everything you could possibly need. I wish we could have stayed longer!

Farm stay in Scotsburn

Luxury cottage farmstay- Scotsburn

StaceyRating, 5 stars4 days ago

This is probably the best AirBNB we’ve stayed in to date. Spacious and clean with all creature comforts we wanted, there is literally nothing I could fault about it. We loved the peaceful surroundings, dog friendly is very important to me and there was plenty of room for my dog to run around outside, and lots of beautiful walks around the extensive property, as well as well as lots of friendly farm animals to see. The fire was roaring when we arrived, we never felt cold inside despite being Winter, and we loved all the blanket options and comfy seating for nights in front of the TV. We definitely hope to return again.

Perfect place to stay with family friends for a family event in Ballarat. The location is convenient and characterful. Emma’s place is absolutely spotless and came equipped with everything we could want. It was also comfortably warm, which is not an easy thing to achieve in an old Ballarat house!
