Home in Golden Point

Jacks_placeballarat. Original 1960s classic.

Step back in time to a hilltop house with views across the city through picture windows. Exposed brick and the extensive use of natural wood maintain a mid-century atmosphere, enhanced by period furnishings and gleaming softwood floors throughout. The House Manual provides information about Jack's, as we call our house. We do not host guests with accompanying pets and smoking on any part of the house and property is not acceptable. If these rules are not to your liking then please do not book. Jack's Place is an original 1960's architect designed house. A master bedroom with direct access to the bathroom (en-suite except it is the only one!). The second bedroom features jarrah flooring and exposed brick wall. The living area features a unique view across the City especially at night. Functional kitchen and laundry, air conditioning and heating. The rental terms are for the whole house but if a couple book then it is expected only one bedroom is used. On booking it is best to clarify if both bedrooms are required. If not we do not make up the second bed. Jack's Place is a free standing brick residence with its own car space. There is a walled courtyard and front lawn area/garden (yet to be fully developed ). Cate and I live behind Jack's Place and both properties share a driveway. Naturally the drive must be kept clear at all time. More than happy to be contacted with any questions relating to Ballarat in general, food, wine and things to do. This 1962 house is in Golden Point, an old area in the City of Ballarat, about 125 kilometers west of Melbourne. These days the architecture of the area varies from 1860s dwellings, California bungalows, and modern high-density residences. Ballarat's main street is Sturt St. It is about a ten minute walk to the town centre and less to major supermarkets. Parking in town is charged via meter all week. On the edge of the central business district parking is free. Parking around the restaurant area of Armstrong St is difficult. My advice is to walk to dinner and Uber home. Local buses are confusing. Only a few minutes away is The Grapes Hotel, friendly and reliable. Ballarat weather can be variable. I have no control over the weather! We are perched about 375 metres above sea level, cold in Winter and hot in Summer. Summer nights tend to cool down. To keep the house warm and you comfortable, draw the blinds and turn on the heating. There are electric panel heater available in the house. Be very aware that they are not suitable for use when young children are part of the guest party. To cool the house, draw the blinds, close all windows and unnecessary doors and set the cooling for 10C below the outside temperature.

Cosy artist’s cottage in central tree lined street

DonnaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We had a wonderful stay at Jenny & Lars cottage. It was as the description and photos and suited our needs for our weekend away. The place was clean and fresh with comfortable bed, bathroom and kitchenette. It was cozy but spacious for us as we rested between games. If you are touring Ballarat it is a great location in walking distance to the town centre, restaurants, pubs and cafes. We will defiantly stay again. Thanks for a great weekend away.

Guest suite in Buninyong

Camellia Cottage Bed and Breakfast Buninyong

BenRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Gavin's guest house was a fantastic getaway for us. Not too far from Melbourne & lots of things to explore within 45 minutes. The local pub & the winery must not be missed too. Buninyong is so underrated. The guest house is so relaxing to stay in. Gavin made us feel so welcome & homely. The welcome pack of fruits, bread, juice, nut, butter & jam makes the stay more special. Thank you Gavin for sharing such a lovely guest house with us. Ben & Caroline Tan

Felt like being in an oasis whilst only an hour or so out of Melbourne. Susan’s place was a sanctuary the perfect winter escape! The bed was so comfortable, we had a nightly fire, there were birds and kangaroos on the doorstep and the bath was deep and perfect for relaxing. Everything was so well thought out, we had the best stay!

Farm stay in Scotsburn

Luxury cottage farmstay- Scotsburn

StaceyRating, 5 stars1 week ago

This is probably the best AirBNB we’ve stayed in to date. Spacious and clean with all creature comforts we wanted, there is literally nothing I could fault about it. We loved the peaceful surroundings, dog friendly is very important to me and there was plenty of room for my dog to run around outside, and lots of beautiful walks around the extensive property, as well as well as lots of friendly farm animals to see. The fire was roaring when we arrived, we never felt cold inside despite being Winter, and we loved all the blanket options and comfy seating for nights in front of the TV. We definitely hope to return again.
