Donna's house is a warm, comfortable place to stay. Excellent communication, easy check-in & generous chocolates and milk. Very close to all things in Ballarat & a nice walk to Lake Wendouree. A home away from home. I'd highly recommend.

It was just so easy, from the check in to the check out. It was lovely and clean and a perfect location for us to go to and from the basketball stadium. We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it to anyone who needs a place to stay in Ballarat. If i could give more than 5 stars, I would.

Great little property!
Enjoyed our stay! House was clean, comfortable and warm!! The fireplace made the cold Ballarat nights nice and cosy. The house is nicely renovated but still has its traditional character. The location was good with all tourist attractions / kids activities within a short distance. The owner was very helpful and ensured we had everything we needed. The house had everything we wanted and we'd happily stay here again when next in Ballarat, thanks!
