If you like classic old buildings as we do, you will love Ballarat! So much history and so many breathtakingly beautiful buildings. We just could not tire of walking around the town. Not just the town centre, but also the residential areas. I have never seen so many beautiful period homes anywhere else. There are also many lovely places to eat, including the beautiful, historic hotels in the town centre, as well as little, low-key cafes in the 'burbs. PS: There is also an excellent bus service!

I like the downtown area and the smiles of the people — they were very friendly. I also enjoyed the preparations for the Christmas celebrations, with lights and colors everywhere. I visited Sovereign Hill as well, and I had a great time.

Ballarat is fascinating and represents the gold rush of the era (1860's) with maintained beautiful and historical buildings. Very quiet and some great little bars and pubs. Good place to also explore the areas outside of Ballarat.

It is a great central place to stay. The apartment was clean and comfortable. Covered parking . Accross the road from sovereign hill. Would highly recommend especially for families. We had a great dinner at the pub up the road. Close to shopping center and service station.

Ballarat is one of my favourite places.

Ballarat is one of my favourite places. There is so much history here and many things to do and see. I was just passing through this time but managed to take photos of the stunning street flower gardens. The Council do an amazing job making everything look beautiful. I can't include the photos at the moment as my camera is in the car and I need to download them to use. It is too late for that just now, I need to fall into bed.

Ballarat is a lovely town with such history and wonderful architecture, the buildings are great. Over two and a half days we enjoyed our George Hotel accommodation, in Lydiard St, close to the Theatres, Cafes and Restaurants. It was in close proximity to the Wildlife Park, Tram Museum and ride, Lake Wendouree and the Botanical Gardens. We enjoyed a trip to the Creswick Woollen Museum. There are many other places to visit.

When I arrived I wasn't expecting anything flash. But I was pleasantly surprised. The room was spacious, well appointed, clean, nothing was broken, and the bed was comfy as! I also arrived on a near 40 degree day and the lovely owners had been in and turned the air-con on before my arrival so I walked into a cool and refreshing room after my travel. Without a doubt one of the better hotels I've stayed at, and is now my go to motel if I ever stay in Ballarat again. Thankyou!

The hotel grounds were nicely upkept with a lovely duckpond and rose bushes. Smooth and easy check-in and check-out process, with friendly and efficient front desk staff. Large, accessible courtyard rooms with comfortable beds and individual parking bays that felt private, homey and relaxing. Good location in Ballarat.
