Holiday houses in Faraday

The place was welcoming, spotlessly clean, well-equipped, and comfortable. This was important because we intended to stay in a lot and enjoy home cooked meals. The place felt homely and, with some basic provisions, we could settle in right away. The kitchen crockery, pots, pans etc were all clean and in excellent condition. There was plenty of choice for lounging and dining areas, with an indoor or more outdoor feel, and the surrounding natural landscape made for a beautiful and peaceful escape. Loved the outdoor swing between the tall trees which invited you to go outside. The seating around the grand firepit was excellent with beautiful decorative lighting. When the outdoor lights were off, we enjoyed expansive views of the Milky Way, by the fire. Additionally, we thought the host's dining recommendations in Ballarat and Daylesford were excellent, as was his communication. The getaway was just what we'd had in mind.

Our family had a wonderful time at Ricardo's house. Some family members were initially hesitant about the price but at the end of our stay everyone agreed that it was worth it and had a great time. The house was roomy enough to accommodate our group of 10, was tastefully decorated and had spectacular views from the floor to ceiling windows. There were lovely little touches upon our arrival: a handwritten welcome note, some delicious home-baked almond Sicilian cookies, and fresh eggs and milk in the fridge. The animals (alpacas and sheep) were entertaining and I grew particularly fond of a dear black-faced sheep who was often away from the rest of the flock, waiting near the fence wanting to be fed, like an enthusiastic puppy. Ricardo responded to all of our queries quickly and practically, which made our stay smooth and incident-free. The house was well-equipped and didn't want for anything.

Generally our stay at Ahmed's place was good. Our communication with Ahmed was good. There were some things that need fixing: give the unit number as well as the street number, supply dishcloth and tea towel, install towel rails in bathrooms. We did have trouble getting into the place for reasons that were beyond air b&b and Ahmed. We received too any emails over the days before our booking so it was hard to recall just which ones were relevant. The one that described entry procedures must have arrived while were travelling all day by ferry, coach, aeroplane, and private car. We simply did not have an opportunity to receive and study the email. When I did later open the email I found that the entry instructions were given in great detail: good. But the print was small and difficult to read. Especially as I am a senior person with not good eyes. Personally, I'd prefer a simple lock box and key or touch pad an code, a pad that was not as digital fickle as Ahmed's. Ahmed arrived to help

Beautiful spot. Host put a lot of thought into the home. Had everything we needed.

Alan’s house is large and roomy, perfect for large groups and great for children. Everything was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Alan was very helpful. Would highly recommend

Peaceful and private location with everything you need within a 15 minute drive. There are several different areas to hang out in and around the house, offering space for large groups of guests. You can't beat the view from the lounge room though! Kitchen was well stocked with crockery and utensils and basic condiments. Overall, excellent spot for large family or friend gatherings. Just note the extra charges for additional guests/bedrooms. Lucy was very responsive and helpful. Plenty of instruction and information provided prior to and during the stay.

Nice place to stay, helpful host, very well-maintained and clean property. Peaceful area, nice and private. Great stay.

great home with smart toilets, modern amenities with everything we needed for our stay.
