The staff were so welcoming & helpful. My wife & myself arrived late on the day of our arrival. Starving we asked where could get something to eat. Brett offered us room service pizzas even though the kitchen was closed the pizza oven was still on for a function.They even did GF much to my wife's delight.

This is the only place I stay at in Ballarat. The rooms are clean, it's in a great location, it's cheap as chips, it's a no-fuss set-up to check yourself in and out. Love it. Actually moving here for work for the next 3 years but will be recommending this place to anyone visiting. They've even got much better pillows from the last time I stayed here which was literally my only complaint.

    Ballarat is very different from Adelaide, countryside is very relaxing and pretty. I liked the heritage buildings in the city, there are multiple schools, seems like a busy area but not a over crowded place. There are new estate areas to build your home at a reasonable price. Daylsford is a very nice place, there's lots to see and do in Ballarat.

    Loved the trees and plants around the house, it was very warm and cosy, kitchen facilities were great and house was spacious. We very much enjoyed our stay. Just needs a little bit more lighting for reading, but overall it was a wonderful place to get away.

    Oscars Hotel and Bar is in a very good position for accessing shops, restaurants, the art gallery, movie theatre and Lésspresso cafe which has THE BEST COFFEE in Ballarat. The rooms are very comfortable and have everything one needs for a stay. Although busy with the restaurant the accommodation area is very well protected from any noise from the downstairs eating areas. All Oscars staff I encountered (wait staff, management, room service staff) are very experienced, friendly and professional. Oscars restaurant was VERY popular over the three day weekend I was there and I can understand why (staff, position, comfort, accessible and welcoming for all age groups. Their wine list, whilst not extensive, had some good choices and I enjoyed both eating experiences over what was a drizzly, cold weekend. Parking was easily accessible down a side lane behind the building, and access with baggage easy from that area through to reception- staff will help with taking luggage upstairs to rooms - no lifts in keeping with any older style stone building that has been upgraded in keeping with comfort and style expected. I would recommend Oscars to anyone who would like to park the car and explore the CBD, or have the car easily accessible to scope out the many offerings in and around Ballarat.

    So much to see and do for all types of travellers of all ages - from the recreated gold mining town of Sovereign Hill, the stately Kryal Castle, the Wildlife Park and/or Ballarat Bird World to visiting the Ballarat Tramway Museum (with a ride on a heritage tram), a walk around Lake Wendouree (with so much bird life to see), strolling the magnificent Woowookarung Dementia Friendly Forest & Sensory Trail or taking in the magnificent view from Mt Buninyong, spend time in the beautiful Botanical Gardens or even take a casual art class - there is something for everyone! A wonderful choice of accommodation for all types of travellers in various price ranges, wonderful places to eat and choice shopping experience. You’ll need to stay more than one night though!

    Ballarat is a quaint little town.

    Ballarat is a quaint little town. Sovereign Hill was the main focus of our visit, plus catching up with family. The kids, 12 and 9, loved exploring Sovereign Hill, and there was plenty to see and do; panning for gold, shopping for jewellery, and learning about the second largest gold nugget ever found. We stayed at Sovereign Park Motor Inn, which was perfect for our family of four. The Red Lion next door made for an easy breakfast option before we left Ballarat.

    House on Drummond has made our trip to Ballarat perfect. It was so nice to come to a lovely home after having been out all day visiting what Ballarat has to offer. The location is optimal, the home itself has exceeded our expectations; very modern styling with touches of classic furnitures and comes with everything a family or group could possibly need while away from own home. The layout and inclusions were thought out well. I could not recommend this place highly enough.

    Spacious, clean rooms. Nothing fancy, but a handy location. Plenty of car parking. Grateful to get a room on the ground floor (rather than having to carry luggage upstairs). Lovely couple/family running the hotel. Not the cheapest option, but the rooms are large, there is off street parking, airconditioning and very close to the lake and a supermarket.

    This is a budget hotel and looks it but the essentials are all there, comfy bed with electric blankets, good heating, plenty of parking, good kitchen facilities. Our room had new carpet as well. We found it to be good value for money and only a short drive to Ballarat. The continental breakfast offered was a nice touch.
