The house needed a good clean. Floors needed sweeping, rugs a vacuum, cooking oven was not fit for purpose - fifthy. Clothes dryer packed full with wet washing.Not one saucepan in the place and our requests were ignored. No door to the toilet.Bed linen and towels are old and tired looking. Had to clean the fridge out before we could put our precious food in it.Three bins in the carport were all overflowing with garbage when we arrived and when we left. We didn't see anyone !

The key lock box was at ground level, had to kneel on the wet concrete to open the box to get the key, my father-in-law would never of got the key out.The house sleeps six, but had only 3 coffee mugs, only 4 glasses for red wine, it had 2 lids for cooking pots but no pots to cook a meal in.There were tea bags and sugar supplied but no coffee.Towels and sheets were being used to stop draughts in windows. We had to find the bin liner for the bin with the broken lid.No towel rail to hang towels in the bathroom as the rail had been pulled off the wall.Saying this, some easy fixes to make it a great little stay, appears to be some lack of care.Great location for access to Ballarat city centre and to the highway for heading to Melbourne. (Far enough aware there was no traffic noise)

Brown Hills

Place was very cosy particularly the heaters on cold winters day. Location was ideal, just of the highway, 4k to city centre, on arriving very tired fish and chip store only 2 doors away and then after a long day at Sovreign Hill the next day just 8 doors the other way to the pub. Very clean. I certainly recommend this property.

On arrival house was dirty,beds not made, bins over flowing with rubbish, hot water scouldering hot ,no face washers.couch very dirty ,Worst house i have ever stayed in ,for the money i paid was a rip off ,bedside lamp big stain on it , shower was dirty, washing in dryer & washing machine ,no coffee,tea,sugar ,long life milk,ILucky i bought a sleeping bag to sleep in as very sensative to bed bugs,No pots to cook with cleaner came dropped some off,and done very quick clean.I should be refunded some of my money walking into such a dirty house ,i dont recomend this house to anyone to stay in. Owner needs to spend money and do it up big time .Owner needs to stay in other houses and see what they provide alot more than her accomodation. Didnt smell clean at all.Cleaner just turn Doona over instead off changing it, only changed the fiyyed sheet as no top sheet,not a happy customer

Ideal for a quick trip

We stayed for one night. It was a good size for our family and one of the more child friendly places we’ve stayed. It would have been great to have some soap and a smart tv or dvd player so we could watch the amazing collection of movies.

We saw previous reviews and assumed that the issues mentioned would have been addressed but unfortunately, this wasn’t the case. The bed was still broken and unusable and one of the windows was broken, letting in a cold draft. The house was not very clean on arrival — with crumbs and food smears on the bench and table, ripped couch and unclean linen. There was also no door on the toilet, washing left in the machine and the outdoor bins were completely full with no red bin available.The property could be drastically improved with a few simple fixes — repairing the bed and window, updating the furniture, improving cleanliness and upgrading the very small, non-smart TV (no option to mirror).On a positive note, the host was responsive and empathetic when a burst water pipe occurred (which was out of their control) and had it repaired the same day. Overall, it provided a roof over our heads, but the house needs attention to reach its potential.

Not good.

Not central to the city, dirty and uncomfortable. Wifi didn’t work, host contacted but nothing fixed. Very basic to the point of no soap or dishwashing detergent in the house.

Basic accomodation

There were a few issues with the house that could do with some attention; there was no shampoo, conditioner, hand soap or dishwashing liquid. The kitchen tap wouldn’t turn properly & was running on the bench, the toilet door couldn’t close and 2/3 beds were so uncomfortable that we had to sleep on the floor. The towels also didn’t smell clean. I mentioned these things to the host but haven’t heard back.
