We really loved our stay at The Californian in Ballarat. The house was just beautiful. Loved the mix of old character from the original house and the modern renovations and extension. Perfect mix. Everything we could need was provided and we were very comfortable and happy. Would not hesitate in recommending to others. We would love to return someday. Thank you Alastair and Glen
