About this cottage rental
Step inside this charming country-style cottage and you’ll instantly feel at home. Brimming with character, it retains its original features—polished timber floors, and high ornate ceilings—while offering all the modern comforts for a relaxing stay.
Just a few minutes’ drive (or a pleasant stroll) will take you to central Ballarat, where you can wander historic Lydiard Street, visit Australia’s oldest regional gallery, and explore the city’s thriving café and dining scene. Discover the region’s Gold Rush history, or head out on nearby cycling and walking trails.
Why guests love it:
“Lovely home away from home – clean, spacious, comfortable, and close to the city centre.”
“Beautifully maintained, equipped for both short and long stays, with plenty of space for everyone.”
“Comforting and peaceful, with an excellent standard of cleanliness and a host who’s prompt, accommodating, and has a bit of a sense of humour too.”
Inside the cottage
Enter via the front path and veranda, where a cosy seating nook invites you to enjoy your morning coffee with a good book. The light-filled living area includes generous sofa seating, a TV, and a six-person dining table—perfect for family meals or as a dedicated workspace.
The compact kitchen has everything you need for home cooking, including an oven, stove, microwave, and all the essentials. Two beautifully presented bedrooms promise a restful night’s sleep with hotel-quality linens—the main with a queen bed and ornate fireplace, the second with two single beds.
A modern bathroom offers a spacious shower, while the separate internal laundry includes a washing machine and dryer for added convenience.
Outside spaces
The leafy backyard features an alfresco seating area and grassy lawn for kids to play, while the front garden adds to the cottage’s welcoming feel. Free street parking is available, and there’s a handy fresh greengrocer and takeaway shops right across the road.
Guest access & your stay
You’ll have the entire cottage to yourself. Whether you’re here for a short city break, a work trip, or a longer stay, you’ll find the cottage clean, comfortable, and perfectly located. Our guests often say they’d happily stay again—and many do!
A few simple house rules
Nothing wild—just the essentials to keep everyone happy and the space sparkling for the next guests. We’re proud members of Good to Book, and we’ll do a quick name check through their system—no worries if you’ve been good.
By booking this property, you're agreeing to our simple house rules—nothing wild, just the essentials to keep everyone happy and the space sparkling for the next guests! Please review the agreement in your guest portal and house guides (digital & print)
House Rules
To ensure a pleasant stay for everyone, please follow these guidelines:
Be Nice: Treat our staff and contractors like the rockstars they are.
Smoking: Allowed only outdoors, away from doors and windows. Don’t worry, the plants won’t mind.
No Firearms: Leave your slingshots and cannons at home.
No Fireworks: Because we don’t want your holiday to end with a bang (literally).
No Illegal Activities: We’re not running a crime drama here.
Keep It Down: Channel your inner ninja and keep noise levels reasonable.
Guest Limit: Only the number of guests listed in the booking can stay overnight. No sneaky sleepovers.
No Parties: Let’s keep it cosy, not crazy.
Pets: Only dogs are allowed at our properties, and only with prior approval. Check the listing for specific pet rules—Fido deserves a holiday too, but only if we've given the green light!
Upon Check-Out
Dishes: Wash and put away. Pretend you’re at home and your mum is watching.
Turn Off: All lights, heaters, and coolers. Help us save the planet.
Pet Cleanup: Don’t leave us any surprises.
Clean BBQ: If you used it, give it a scrub. We love a good BBQ, but not the cleanup.
Trash: Put it in the correct bins outside. Channel your inner recycling guru.
Linens: Don’t wash them. Seriously, we’ve got it covered.
If these rules are broken, we may have to cancel your stay with no refund. We really don’t want to do that.

Streets to Ballarat soccer venues for tournaments. Close to shops and perfect for a family to relax after matches. Great to have a kitchen and laundry and spaces for family to relax without being on top of each other
