Summary: The house is just beautiful, the beds are so comfortable and the kitchen is better equiped than any place we have ever stayed.The fireplace and excellent heating made for lovely cozy evenings.Just one small suggestion would be some folding suitcase racks in the bedrooms to make accessing your belongings a bit easier.Overall I couldn’t recommend The Californian highly enough.

Summary: We had a glorious stay! A stunning property immaculately kept. The photos are wonderful but once you see this property in person when you walk through the door, it's like wow! Beautiful Californian with so much character. It also has a modern feel with the bathrooms and back area of the house obviously fully renovated. Plenty of space for the family to spread out also and large bedrooms. All the linen was beautiful, beds comfy, kitchen amazing with everything you would ever need to cook and prepare meals. Soap, shampoo, toilet paper etc. included. Fireplace was divine with plenty of wood. Loved the outdoor deck where we enjoyed a coffee each morning. We took our elderly pooch, and he loved it also. Location was spot on. Easy walk to main part of town, shops and restaurants. Our hosts also made themselves readily available if we needed anything or had any questions. I could go on and on. We had the most relaxing stay :):) Thank you for sharing this "amazing" property!

Summary: Thanks for a wonderful stay. Alastair is a very thoughtful host. Everything was perfect and the place was even better than the photos showed. Location and parking a breeze and perfect for getting around Ballarat. The home had every comfort we needed. Ample room for dining, lounging and being outside on the deck. The area is quiet. An ideal place whether you are on the move or just want to relax and chill.

Summary: We loved our stay. Check in was clear with extra details to make it even easier. The house is beautifully furnished, styled and equipped. The beds incredibly comfortable and bathrooms hotel like. Our parents joined us for a meal which worked very well with the large dining table that comfortably seats 8. Location quiet yet a stone’s throw from all that Ballarat has to offer - shops, restaurants and bars. Highly recommend.

Summary: We were very impressed with the property. It felt comfortable the minute we walked in. The cleanliness, layout, styling, kitchen and furnishings were the best we have experienced. We dined in and the dinneware and glasswares were excellent and plentiful. We liked the bar table in the kitchen for our pre-dinner drinks and breakfast because we could chat and prepare food at the same time. The fireplace and location were great too! Thank you to the hosts for a great stay. Lisa & Noel
