“Great spot, super clean and comfy beds.”
+The cottage was lovely and had heaps of supplies, some left, some supplied- which was very thoughtful. The location is great, especially for sovereign hill area. Very chilly condition but the heater was amazing at warming the space.
−The pipes froze one morning and we couldn’t shower- we hadn’t really expected that. We have two young boys who are loud and rambunctious. The owner has dogs that are sensitive to excess noise and didn’t want interaction. Not a problem, but not ideal either. The cottage is right on the owners block so it was hard to get the kids past without them making noise.

“Wonderful host and cosy cottage close to everything we needed.”
+Sharon was a wonderful host, treated us on arrival and gave us the rundown of the property. It’s a lovely little cottage and it had everything we needed, including lots of books (children’s and adults) and board games. The electric blankets on the beds was very welcoming on a cold wintery night. What stood out the most from any other place I have stayed, was that she provided fresh bread, milk, cheese, eggs and even bacon, along with coffee, chocolates and breakfast spreads, it was a lovely personal touch. We would definitely stay here again in travelling to Ballarat.
−There was nothing to dislike about the property.

“We loved our overnight stay in this rustic stone cottage!”
+The bed was comfortable, the gas log fire kept the room warm, and the breakfast provisions were impressive. There was also plenty of space both inside and out.
