comfortable stay
Problems with toilet not flushing on arrival, Kirsty sent plumber on request. We had a stranger knocking on the door insisting that he knew Paul and Kirsty and insisting that mail had been left at the house for him. We had a 9 night stay and thought the linen would have been changed mid way thru. Not all hobs on gas stove were working. We had issues with TV, Stove and washing machine and oven, need to leave manuals for all appliances, as not everyone is tech savvy. In saying all of that, the house was roomy and spacious and we still had a pleasant stay and Kirsty was pleasant and accommodating.

Very comfortable stay
Large and comfortable house with a great rear deck to relax and chill. The house easily accommodates 8 adults and we certainly enjoyed our stay, using it as a base to visit nearby Daylesford, Ballarat, Smeaton and Clunes. The hosts, Kirsty and Paul, had kindly left a small Christmas tree decorated with baubles and had preset the dining table complete with Christmas crackers for our arrival on Christmas Day. The place has an Aldi coffee machine and the hosts had thoughtfully left a good stock of coffee pods for us. The temperature in the house is very well regulated, there’s a dishwasher, oven, microwave and a combo washing machine/dryer - all the conveniences of home and more; so really it makes for a stress-free stay. The home includes a good selection of DVDs, interesting books and board games as well. Being the Christmas/New Year period, many businesses in Ballan was closed, but the IGA and the local bakery were open. The bakery makes very good pies and vanilla slice. We would be happy to stay again.
