Leon provided an upgrade upon my arrival to the ensuite room. I woke to a bench full of breakfast options with freshly hot brewed coffee. I highly recommend Helens Homestead.

The place is beautifully positioned in gardens and away from the road -so traffic noise is not a problem. The place is well presented and spacious, with comfy lounge area, and use of large kitchen. We enjoyed the quiet of the countryside, yet not too far from the city of Ballarat. The host Leon gave us a warm welcome. Generous provisions for breakfast are included.

We were happy with all aspects of our stay.

Leon was an excellent host in tranquil and peaceful surroundings. Property was clean and comfortable with facilities made available including very good continental breakfast.

A little remote for us.

The remoteness and the host.

Shower water pressure, only thing I could think of!!

We enjoyed our stay very much. Our room was lovely. The house is beautiful and very clean. The owner Leon was an excellent host and very helpful. The breakfast was excellent. Highly recommended

clean and quiet

warm , comfy lounge, sheltered outdoor area

really helpful and friendly staff

shared bathroom ( but is not to bad, bathroom was clean an big, i only used to have ensuite)

Breakfast was excellent, as were all the facilities. Leon, our host, had the fire burning for us on arrival with an ample stock of firewood. The bed was comfortable and the lounge just delightfully relaxing.

Only downside is poor phone reception but free WIFI solved our problems

Leon is an excellent host. It is a very generous property with excellent rooms, great shared lounge with beautiful fireplace and unrestricted use of a fully functional kitchen. Exceptionally clean and well presented house that has a really homely atmosphere.

Welcoming, generous host Very comfortable stay where everything has been thought of Beautiful surroundings and quiet location

we loved everything

The property is beautiful and it's a very well-kept family home. Perfect for a group of friends to get away, really warm and inviting and comfortable. Not so great for shy or private people who don't want to use the shared areas of the house such as the lounge, kitchen or dining room as you will be limited to your room if you don't want to get outside and see the fantastic scenery. Not too far from Ballarat so perfect for locals who want to get out of town for a bit. Lovely fireplace in the lounge and warm quilts on the bed which were perfect for the cold night we were there. Fresh coffee and continental breakfast is laid out in the morning and Leon is very respectful of your space and privacy. Host Leon was so lovely! Didn't get to meet his wife Helen but I imagine she is just as lovely and accommodating from her nice smile in the family photos dotted around the house! Very happy with the stay and won't hesitate to go back again!

The twin share room and queen room are right beside each other with the toilet and bathroom opposite them. However that being said, didn't hear anything so the rooms may be soundproofed. The rooms can't be locked other than a slide chain when you are inside the room so if you went out then the room can't be locked from the outside. Didn't bother me as we were only an overnight stay and didn't leave the house but if it was a longer stay I might be hesitant to leave valuables in the rooms. Leon and Helen put their trust in the guests so absolutely deserve the same respect back, but it never hurts to be mindful of your valuables anyway.

Everything - cosy wood fire, comfy bed, generous breakfast, secure parking for our bikes, handy use of the washing machine. Thanks Leon, you are an amazing host.

The Hospitality of Leon (our host) was much appreciated
