Perfect
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Skye House. The house was extremely comfortable and meticulously presented. Our host thought of everything that we could possibly need to make our stay enjoyable. The location is perfect, easy to walking into town or the numerous cafes around Lake Wendouree. Without a doubt we will be back. Thanks

Just loved it
Fantastic property, so close to the main town of Ballarat. In a beautiful part of Ballarat surrounded by gorgeous properties and streets. We loved wondering for a morning coffee and looking at all the lovely homes. The owner was just so lovely. The house was clean and nice and perfect. Great weekend away. Thanks for having. 10/10.

About the host

Host profile image
I love to travel as you will see by my photo taken at Greenwich outside London and we normally rent other people's homes so I know what I want and need to be comfortable and hope to provide the same for you. Skye House is named after the beautiful Isle of Skye.=- a very cold place in the winter but with warm people - a bit like Ballarat!! I'd love to go back and stay on Skye again but in the meantime I'm enjoying people enjoying my home!
