Updated Cottage on Large Sunny Block (5 mins-CBD)

An inviting home with a welcoming porch to enjoy your coffee + a huge sunny backyard. A formal living area opens to the kitchen/dining/outdoor, all open plan. All bedrooms have brand new carpet, a newly renovated bathroom + second toilet.

5-min drive to Ballarat CBD (30-min walk) or, if keeping it more local numerous cafe's & restuarants are within 15 minutes walk.
Sovereign Hill is 3-min drive & if bringing your dog, Pennyweight park across the road has an off leash dog area & playground.

THE HOME
Set back from the street & overlooking trees/parkland across the road, the porch has table & chairs for you to sit and relax and enjoy the sunny afternoons.

Step inside the hallway which leads to the living area with a wood fire and split system, providing comfort and atmosphere plus a large brand new Smart TV (you can sign into your own Netflix, Disney, YourTube, Stan etc.)

The open-plan floor plan leads to the kitchen & dining area where there are double glass doors to the backyard. A patio area and then a huge secure grassed area - perfect for kids or your pet to run around.

The three bedrooms all have brand new carpet and have all been freshly painted. The two front rooms have high-end comfortable queen beds with all bedding included. Massive wardrobes are also available for you to unpack in. Block out blinds, ceiling fans & brand new panel heaters are also featured in each room.

The third bedroom consists of a single bed plus a bunk bed - so 3 x single beds in total. This bedroom also has a ceiling fan, block out blinds, heater and direct access to the central bathroom. All linen and bedding supplied.

Towels for each guest area also supplied.
Basic toiletries are also included (body wash, shampoo, conditioner)

The large newly renovated bathroom exudes luxury with a bath & walk in shower. There is also a second powder room to the rear of the home.

A large central kitchen overlooks both the living & dining areas and has ample storage. There is a dishwasher, airfryer, coffee machine (dolce gusto if you wish to bring coffee pods), 4-burner stove, oven and microwave.

We have supplied ample crockery, cutlery, glasses and wine glasses plus some cooking basics (salad bowls, cooking utensils etc.).

The dining room looking out over the patio/backyard has an extender dining table which seats 8 guests, ceiling fan and sheer curtains.

For those bringing their dog, we do allow pets. We have a kennel available to use outside and you are welcome to bring your own dog bed for inside.

And lastly, there is a work space for those needing to do some work.

We aim to provide all the basic requirements for you and your family to enjoy the home as much as we do.

Any questions, please ask, we are happy to help :)

About the host

Hosted by Vanessa

Host profile image
We are from Melbourne however, love coming to Ballarat which is only just over an hour from home. We have travelled extensively often staying in airbb/stayz homes which we love so hopefully we have set up a great home for other families to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

Not too far from Ballarat Central, very quiet street, large block with a big sunny backyard, as well as beautiful afternoon sun on the porch. The home has character, high ceilings and we are continuing to work on it and improve it.

What makes this property unique

The large block and nice raised porch area, open plan living and updated throughout.
