Disappointed that the bedding was not sufficient for the cold weather that you have . Had to go buy a extra blanket so I wasn't cold. And no electric blanket on the bed. Also what is with the sky lights over the beds, if you have them maybe you should have a block out blind or something else to cover them. You don't go away to be woken by the light that comes through .

The property was new, clean beds were cozy. We had everything we needed in the apartment, it was conveniently located and was close to all the famous attractions in Ballarat. Only thing that was quite disappointing was customer service, i was given an incorrect code for the door at check in and it took over an hour to get anyone to answer my call/messages, we had to wait outside in 30 degree heat waiting for assistance. This was very frustrating.

The apartment was lovely and much better, cleaner and newer than other hotels/motels we had stayed in Victoria. Kids had lots of space to move around, 2 big comfy beds, the aircon/heater worked really well. We get a discount at pub/restaurant and food was delicious. They do deliver to the room as well which worked well for us. The fridge kept all our stuff cold but the freezer was frosted so doesn't work well. If we're in Ballarat again will stay again.

If you are an early person this place suits you, otherwise do not book there.
The apartment has two skylights and the room will be filled with light as soon as the sun rises, which is very annoying for people who would like to sleep till 9:00am or even 7:00am.

We didn't receive a text until just before 2pm, when the email received the night before said we'd receive it in the morning.
Someone was in our car space when we arrived.
One of the chairs at the table was stained and the legs loose.
The apartment wasn't what we expected, as it was ground floor like a motel and located behind a pub! We could hear all the noise out the front, including an employee of the pub using a gurney to clean things at 7:30am. I was hosting a zoom meeting and had people walking past and lots of noise.
The bedding wasn't sufficient, just a thin covering like a blanket, with no extra bedding available. We were cold and can't sleep with a heater on.
The \"rain shower\" was impossible to use because we didn't want to get our hair wet.
It was clean and nice to look at, but not what we expected for the money we paid. Especially seeing as though Ballarat prices are cheaper than Melbourne. And to top it off, a sign on the wall told us we had to clean our dishes or we'd be charged a cleaning fee! Not happy!
Just a fancy ground-floor motel behind a pub. Not worth the money and left disappointed.
