Jacks_placeballarat. Original 1960s classic.

Step back in time to a hilltop house with views across the city through picture windows. Exposed brick and the extensive use of natural wood maintain a mid-century atmosphere, enhanced by period furnishings and gleaming softwood floors throughout. The House Manual provides information about Jack's, as we call our house. We do not host guests with accompanying pets and smoking on any part of the house and property is not acceptable. If these rules are not to your liking then please do not book. Jack's Place is an original 1960's architect designed house. A master bedroom with direct access to the bathroom (en-suite except it is the only one!). The second bedroom features jarrah flooring and exposed brick wall. The living area features a unique view across the City especially at night. Functional kitchen and laundry, air conditioning and heating. The rental terms are for the whole house but if a couple book then it is expected only one bedroom is used. On booking it is best to clarify if both bedrooms are required. If not we do not make up the second bed. Jack's Place is a free standing brick residence with its own car space. There is a walled courtyard and front lawn area/garden (yet to be fully developed ). Cate and I live behind Jack's Place and both properties share a driveway. Naturally the drive must be kept clear at all time. More than happy to be contacted with any questions relating to Ballarat in general, food, wine and things to do. This 1962 house is in Golden Point, an old area in the City of Ballarat, about 125 kilometers west of Melbourne. These days the architecture of the area varies from 1860s dwellings, California bungalows, and modern high-density residences. Ballarat's main street is Sturt St. It is about a ten minute walk to the town centre and less to major supermarkets. Parking in town is charged via meter all week. On the edge of the central business district parking is free. Parking around the restaurant area of Armstrong St is difficult. My advice is to walk to dinner and Uber home. Local buses are confusing. Only a few minutes away is The Grapes Hotel, friendly and reliable. Ballarat weather can be variable. I have no control over the weather! We are perched about 375 metres above sea level, cold in Winter and hot in Summer. Summer nights tend to cool down. To keep the house warm and you comfortable, draw the blinds and turn on the heating. There are electric panel heater available in the house. Be very aware that they are not suitable for use when young children are part of the guest party. To cool the house, draw the blinds, close all windows and unnecessary doors and set the cooling for 10C below the outside temperature.

Durham River Cottage (Pooch Friendly)

Sam & BrieRating, 5 stars3 months ago

Karen’s place provided a wonderful retreat whilst we were at Golden Plains festival with our children (3&5yo). The children loved the garden Karen provided thoughtful bubble bath, the kitchen was very well equipped (we even baked muffins) and the BBQ was spotless! Buninyong is a lovely town close by and it’s so close to Ballarat if you want to explore those sights and delights. Thanks again for a lovely stay!

The Loft at Shelford

MattRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Our stay was exactly as described! Private, peaceful, comfortable, and spacious. Ebony was a fantastic host, with great communication throughout our stay. She kindly accommodated an early check-in, which made things even easier for us. We were in the area for a wedding at Barunah Plains, and the location was perfect for getting to the venue. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet and comfortable retreat!

Brooker Tiny Home: Rural Luxury

MeijiaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We stayed at the Brooker Tiny home in May 2025. It was autumn, and we had clear and chilly nights which was perfect for lighting fires inside the fireplace, campfire and the sauna. Brooker was compact but designed so well that it was comfortable for two adults and a chocolate labrador- plenty of space for lounging, reading and relaxation. The sauna was amazing with the view of the forest. The peaceful surrounds had walking trails into the forest at your doorstep! All of us enjoyed our stay and wish we could've stayed a little longer next to the Wombat forest. Thank you for hosting :)
