The space
The house offers guests an opportunity to relax and unwind and has been carefully curated with a mix of old and new decor throughout. Big windows welcome natural light and make the house feel open, bright, and inviting.

The entire house is yours and can sleep up to 4 guests.There is a large backyard for your fur baby who will love the open space to run free.

It's an ideal retreat for a romantic getaway, a girls' weekend, or mini break to escape and enjoy the simple surrounds of Ballarat.

Two generous size bedrooms - one king and one queen, decorated to respect the simple charm of the 1960s - comfortable beds, quality fresh linen, and electric blankets to keep you warm on a cold winter night.

The kitchen is small but has everything you need to make your stay comfortable. Our quirky 1960s kitchen has plenty of kit to whip up a delicious feast, or if you prefer to set up a cheese board, a glass of wine, and you're set for a relaxing night in.

There is a bbq and small back deck to relax and unwind or sit back and watch a fav on netflix in the comfort of the lounge - and we offer free fast unlimited WIFI, a 50" smart TV, and plenty of books and magazine.

A natural born bower bird at heart, I have curated the house with found and foraged objects to respect the charm of the 1960s.

There is a dining room with a mid century dining table - a space to enjoy a delicious feast after foraging for local produce - Ballarat is becoming a food hub with plenty of places to seek out your local feast and you will be spoilt for choice.

Travelling with fur babies, the backyard is fully fenced, and we allow dogs in the house but request you bring doggy beds to sleep on.

We look forward to welcoming you to our quirky 1960s Retro retreat and hope you enjoy your stay as much as we love the house and location.

Guest access
The whole house is yours to relax and unwind - simplicity is key to take time to reflect and breath.

We live on a farm in the beautiful hamlet of Little Hampton. Our farm is located next to the wombat forest and is only an 1.5 hours drive from Melbourne. We grow seasonal fruit and veggies and have established accommodation in Ballarat and Little Hampton. We have a farm gate so visitors to the area can stop by and purchase local produce - and farm tours can be arranged by request. For more information go to little hampton farm website.
