Libby and Damian’s place was perfect for our stay in Ballarat! Their house was immaculate and beautifully presented. Everything we needed for a comfortable and cosy stay was provided for. The location... was convenient and an easy drive or walk to the central part of Ballarat. Communication was easy, friendly and very accommodating - thank you! We would certainly stay at their place again if we visit Ballarat in the future!!

Over the past few years, my husband and I have developed a passion for renovating and restyling homes to create warm, welcoming and memorable spaces for others to enjoy. Our properties have been thoughtfully transformed with a focus on comfort, character and creating places we genuinely love spending time in ourselves. We enjoy blending modern touches with carefully restored details, embracing creativity and upcycling where possible, to create relaxing retreats that feel both stylish and inviting. We’re excited to share these spaces with our guests and hope you enjoy them as much as we have loved bringing them to life.

Ballarat Hopping

Saturdays in ballarat are a surprisingly global affair. The market is humming with food stalls from just about every continent, and a short wander will take you to antique stores and a cute little bookshop that might have been smuggled in from diagon alley. Graze your way through the city center sipping on wine and nibbling on cheese. Slow down.
