Welcome to your home away from home! This beautifully renovated family retreat comfortably accommodates up to 15 guests across four spacious bedrooms and a versatile fifth room that doubles as a second living area. With two modern bathrooms, everyone will have the space they need to relax and unwind.
Ideally located just minutes from the heart of Ballarat, this home offers the perfect balance of convenience and tranquility. Enjoy easy access to the stunning lake, nearby sporting facilities, and major freeways, making it effortless to explore the area. Whether you're here for a family getaway, a group retreat, or a special occasion, youâll love the 24-hour access and thoughtfully designed space.
Home needs a better clean, bedhead in one room was dirty. Can't open most windows and cupboards unusable due to storage of linen in front room. Showering was hit and miss with cold water coming on more frequently than hot and central heating unit was noisy throughout the night. Overpriced for condition of property.
This house can comfortably fit a lot of people. It was clean, and had all we needed. The two living areas are great for adults and kids to have their own space for a bit.
Lots of room for family of 6. Ages from 80 to 26. Could easily sleep lots more. Plenty of bunks and 2 separate sitting areas. Great clean, no fuss roomy house. Central to lake shops and sports area
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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 didnât 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 Iâve 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.
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!
Very warm home, with plenty of space for the kids.
This home is great for a large family or two familyâs 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.
We stayed as a work team to cater an event in Ballarat. This premises was perfect for our stay. As advertised, clean and well located. Excellent communication from owner
Spacious accomodation for a big group & very close to the lake & local facilities. The kitchen could be a little better equipped, (eg. more cutlery for a big group)
But we had a great stay with our family over Christmas & at a very reasonable price. Thank you.
Our daughter is at school in Clunes and we spent the weekend with her in Ballarat. Great house, renovated, clean and spacious. It was a really cold wet weekend, the heating and electric blankets were a saviour!
