About the host
Hosted by Vanessa
We are from Melbourne however, love coming to Ballarat which is only just over an hour from home. We have travelled extensively often staying in airbb/stayz homes which we love so hopefully we have set up a great home for other families to enjoy.
Why they chose this property
Not too far from Ballarat Central, very quiet street, large block with a big sunny backyard, as well as beautiful afternoon sun on the porch. The home has character, high ceilings and we are continuing to work on it and improve it.
What makes this property unique
The large block and nice raised porch area, open plan living and updated throughout.
Extras: coffee pod machine, fireplace, fully equipped kitchen (microwave, airfryer, crockery, wineglasses, kids crockery etc)
Dog bed & Portacot available on request (FREE) - just let us know 😀
