3 Bedroom Cottage in Redan

Welcome to your cosy Ballarat base – a delightful crooked little cottage brimming with warmth, character, and everything you need for a relaxed family escape. Just minutes from the heart of Ballarat, this lovingly maintained home is perfectly positioned for exploring the region’s rich gold rush history, vibrant arts scene, and local wildlife wonders like Sovereign Hill and Ballarat Wildlife Park.
Whether you’re in town for a weekend getaway or a longer stay, this charming cottage is set up for comfort and convenience. With three comfortable bedrooms and a fully equipped nursery, it’s ideal for families – especially those travelling with babies or toddlers. No need to pack the portacot, high chair, or toys – we’ve got you covered!
Inside, the home blends quirky heritage charm with modern comfort. You'll find a spacious lounge with plush seating and a TV, a separate dining room that flows out to a leafy backyard, and a well-equipped kitchen with all the essentials for home-cooked meals – including an oven, stovetop, microwave, and plenty of cookware.
The cottage stays warm and snug even in the middle of winter thanks to ample heating and cosy blankets. All beds are made up with hotel-quality linens for a restful night’s sleep.
Sleeping arrangements:
Bedroom 1: Queen bed
Bedroom 2: Single bed
Bedroom 3: Single bed
Bedroom 4: Nursery with full-size cot, change table, and toys
There’s a sparkling clean bathroom with a shower, vanity, and toilet, plus a second toilet and an internal laundry with a washing machine for your convenience.
The home’s quirks – like doors that don’t always shut quite perfectly – only add to its character. Guests have noted these small things were never a problem and just part of the charm of staying in an older, lovingly preserved home.
Step outside and enjoy the peaceful back garden, or stroll around the corner to Skipton Street’s local cafes, bakeries, and takeaways – with one guest-favourite being the CaaWaa Chinese Restaurant.

Sparkling clean and well-stocked with thoughtful extras
Fantastic central location – everything is a short drive away

Summary: Beautiful little house to stay in for the weekend visiting Sovreign Hill. 3 bedrooms plus a 4th set up as a nursery. It was bliss not needing to bring a portacot, highchair or any of the other baby stuff. It was all here. So clean and lots of lovely inclusions such as butter, hot chocolate sachets etc. Another review mentioned some of the bedroom doors don’t close but we didn’t find this a problem. There are cute little weighted bags and we just used these to stop it swinging open. Things like this are par for the course with older character accommodation. The driveway and carport between the house and next door’s accommodation seemed to be used by either property, which we weren’t expecting. Just be aware you may not have off street parking if next door parks their car in the carport. There is ample street parking out front. Highly recommend nearby CaaWaa Chinese Restaurant for a quick takeaway dinner option- delicious food. 1 walk through the fruit market carpark to Skipton St Bakery Cafe for a nice morning coffee. We would not hesitate to stay here again. It had absolutely everything we needed and was lovely and clean. Many thanks for having us.

Summary: The location is great the house is cute and well set up but not a place to bring little babies. We brought our twin boys and the house was freezing cold, the split system died the second night we were there and the fire place was only fit to heat the main room. The owner left portable heaters and we had to pile everyone in the same room to keep warm. The doors dont close or jammed shut which left it hard to put kids asleep. One of the rooms smelled badly of dampness. The house would be ideal in nice weather but its cold, damp and drafty for this time of year. Loved ballarat but wouldnt stay there again.
