Modern, clean & so convenient
2a Cardigan has all the comforts of home plus electric blankets! Our stay in winter is has been so cozy with an open fireplace (gas) in the main living and air conditioning throughout the bedrooms (we haven’t needed to use these). Its close to loads of great cafes and restaurants and just a short drive to Ballarat and close to grocery shops if you prefer not to cook. We have really enjoyed our stay, we can’t fault it.

Great house and location
Very clean property. Great location. Bit hard to find the remote for the garage rollerdoor. My husband was curious about the bbq. It hadn't been cleaned by whoever used it last. Air con in the bedroom with the 2 single beds wouldn't blow out any hot air. TV remote control 8n 5he upstairs bedroom didn't work. Look apart from these small things overall the property was quite well presented. If you are not told about the above small things the property owner will never know.

Perfect stay for conference
We attended a Conference training in Ballarat and this quiet and well-appointed house was perfect for us. We enjoyed the proximity to Lake Wendouree, which offered us a relaxing walk to wind down after the long days. The house has everything we need and we would love to return in two years for our next Conference training. Thank you for having us.

The property is beautiful, practical and spacious. The area is quiet and an easy walk to Lake Wendouree for coffee and dinner. Short drive to CBD or Wendouree for shopping, supplies or other activities. This accommodation is beautifully decorated with a lot of detail. Loved the gas log fire to keep us warm in the Ballarat winter. Traci is the perfect host, was quick to respond and was very obliging with our extra request. Thank you Traci.

Comfortable stay.
Cosy gas fire, much needed for a Winter stay. Great open plan design. Lovely kitchen. Bath was nice. Stayed 3 nights. Would be nice if all short term rentals used no fragrances for the linen to help with allergies and low tox living. Water pressure was low. Walking distance to cafes for a morning coffee and a short drive to Main Street, shops, cafes and restaurants. Internet is shared with another rental, if there is problems with connection, your stay may be interrupted.
