Best location
Staying for basketball nationals, the location was 92 seconds away from the stadium. In relation to supermarkets and dining within less than 5 minutes. Property provided every amenity we needed with plenty of beds to suit. Will stay again if in the region

Great Home for Larger Groups
We were a family group of 9 and travelled to Ballarat for specific activities for the kids. We found the house to be spacious and comfortable. Loved that there were 2 bathrooms (no ensuite) which made it extremely easy to organise showers etc. 2 Lounge areas also meant division of adults & children for TV viewing. Location was quiet and relatively central with shops, takeaways in close proximity. Communications with Ned were easy and hassle free. Happily recommend this property to larger groups.

No Frills Long Weekend
The no frills home was perfect for three families and lots of kids. The kitchen was small but elsewhere plenty of space for adults and kids to play (incl some games) or watch TV. Bathrooms were excellent and nicely finished. The quilts were on the thin side but there were plenty of spare quilts (enough for each bed) to layer up for the cold nights. Downside were no first aid box or fire blanket and baking paper and/or tin foil would have been appreciated, but not provided. Location is in a quiet suburb, close to the lake and an easy drive to key locations.

Just ok
Ned's place is in a quiet neighbourhood with good offstreet parking space. The house and furnishings are very basic, eg. Tired sofas that were not very comfortable, low quality mattresses and bedding, old and thin towels. The kitchen has plenty of plates and cups but not even one tea towel for drying dishes. We were a group of 6 adults and the hot water system was not suitable to cope with this many showers over the course of a day (a cold shower at the end of a long bike ride is not fun). Ned's place could be really good with just a bit of investment in some more comfortable amenities.

Pleasant experience
We pulled up and my wife was concerned that it was not the right place, it looked too small. Pleasantly surprised how big once inside. Gardens just recently trimmed. Place was clean, and had two good living areas, great when have kids. From previous experiences the only little criticism was were no general pantry items, toiletries or toilet paper. Not far from shops and will located. Overall great experience.

Disappointing stay
Needs substantial work/maintenance and upgrades on this property. - toilet leaked constantly all ove bathroom floor - couch in second lounge extremely old and dirty - we were left with no toilet paper or bin liners for first day/night of stay - shower didn’t drain quick enough so water went all over bathroom floor - the washing machine was left with a whole load of wet towels in with nowhere to dry/hang them - sheets/towels terrible quality - compared to other homes I’ve stayed at via stayz.com, the supplies were extremely limited, apart from coffee/sugar, no kitchen/pantry item are supplied. I would not stay here again.

Lovely home away from home!
A lovely place to stay that catered for our 3 different families. Great to have the 2 living zones for the kids and adults to chill separately and enough rooms for everyone to sleep. Everything we needed was supplied. Thankyou for allowing us to stay at your house for us to have a wonderful, stress-free trip!

This home is great for a large family or two family’s sharing. The house is warm and clean. Love that it has 2 lounge rooms, so you can have space from the kids. Also great that it has 2 bathrooms.

Perfect location, great house
This house is in a fantastic accessible location, close to everything you'd need and near a wonderful lake. Great number of rooms, and option for more people sleeping on couches. The 2 living areas were fantastic with 7 kids in the group. The kitchen was a perfect size for our 4 nights away. The heating is a bit noisy but effective. The house was light on details, like there was no washing powder or anywhere to hang clothes that were washed, there were no tea towels, and we never found the DVD player remote, which meant we could only play/pause, stop and eject. Communication with Ned was a bit odd, in that his answers to questions were succinct to the point of almost being curt, which is why I never asked if there was a remote to the DVD player. Non of the cons are enough to stop you staying there, and the price was good, but it's good to know in advance!
