Ballarat Cottages

We chanced upon the Yarrowee Cottage at the last minute. There are no words! This place is unbelievable! Where to start! The location is superb. In one of the back street nestled against the creek among trees and a lush garden. The Wallaby trail is easily accessible from the back door. The garden is unreal! There is so much to see and enjoy. Every nook and cranny, there is something different and quirky. Such a quiet and private location. The outdoors offers everything from a quirky fire pit to an undercover pergola complete with bbq and out door setting. The views from the back verandah or even one of the seats around the property are refreshing and relaxing. Inside, the kitchen offers everything you could possibly need for a short stay. The lounge room too, leaves you wanting fro nothing. TV, CD player, DVD player (along with a large selcetion of DVDS) games and magazines. And if none of that interests you, just spending time admiring all the quirky and interesting nick nacks around the place will keep you entertained. The bathroom on the ground floor is spacious with a fantastic 2 person spa. And the shower!! A massive rain head with decent pressure! Abundant and quality linen is supplied to cover all your needs. The bedroom upstairs in aahhmmaazing! It has 2 stunning stained glass windows (1 each end) which let in natural light. A comfy bed and the BEST pillows I have ever come across in accommodation. The room is brought together by all the essential items including mirror, luggage racks, couch and wardrobe complete with robes. The thoughtful light switch for the stairs ensures safety during the night. Honestly, I was devastated to leave this place. In all my 58 years, this place would easily rate in my top 3 places where Ive stayed. The cute cottage was pristine and clean - inside and out. There was nothing out of place and the visit left me wanting for nothing except more time to stay. One of the best!!!

I stayed for three nights and enjoyed the peace, gardens and having access to my own kitchen. Thoroughly recommend to any traveller to Ballarat. The grounds are well presented, the host was very pleasant - perfect.
