About this property
Victorian Charm meets Modern Ease near Lake and CBD
This character-filled home pairs old-world elegance with contemporary style to offer a comfortable base while you explore the cafes, bakeries, galleries and boutiques of Ballarat. Take a 10-minute stroll to Lake Wendouree for a picnic or drive a few minutes to see the city sights, returning to your air-conditioned stay to enjoy a BBQ and alfresco dining in the pet-friendly backyard, settling in on the sofa with a movie while making use of WiFi, private laundry facilities and free street parking.
Built in 1900, this light-filled stay has received a modern update to offer the best of both worlds, with bright and welcoming indoor spaces extending to a large, grassy front yard and a private courtyard at the back complete with a BBQ and outdoor setting.
When you’re not sampling the nearby eateries, take advantage of the eight-seater dining room and modern, fully equipped kitchen, which has everything needed to prepare meals at home and a dishwasher for easy clean-up. Central air-conditioning and heating ensure year-round comfort while you relax in the lounge room, thoughtfully appointed and with a range of streaming services available to find your favourite series.
Four thoughtfully furnished bedrooms sleep a total of eight guests—three offering queen-sized beds with the first bedroom featuring a beautiful window seat and a decorative fireplace, while the fourth bedroom comes with a double bed and is accessed via the backyard porch. The contemporary bathroom is immaculately appointed with a shower, vanity, mirrored cabinetry and complimentary toiletries, as well as a bathtub where you can indulge in a leisurely soak.
Added conveniences include a private washing machine and dryer as well as free street parking 24/7.
Due to local regulations, we can happily host you for up to 90 nights. Any bookings that exceed this duration will be cancelled by Vrbo.
We are pet-friendly - please let us know about your furry friend at the time of booking and we will reach out to charge a pet fee of $110
