We had a wonderful stay & would happily return! The house was lovey, clean, cosy & thoughtfully equipped with everything you could possibly need. The location was fantastic, & our host was incredibly welcoming & thoughtful, even leaving us some yummy snacks on arrival.We also loved that the property is pet-friendly. FYI- For anyone travelling with dogs, it’s worth noting that the backyard is open to the front yard and the front fence and gate aren’t high, so owners of adventurous or athletic dogs may need to keep an eye on them (our dog could easily jump it ).Overall, a beautiful home, a fantastic host, and a wonderful stay. Highly recommended!

A fabulous place to stay with everything you need both within the house and a short walk away. The house was clean, comfortable, well appointed and great for pets. Would definitely return for another stay.

Property was very central to all of Ballarat and surrounds. Geraldine left us some home made soup for our first night with some lovely snacks. The house was well appointed, cozy and beautifully decorated. Bed was very comfy which is not always the case. Highly recommend. Our doggies very happy too

We were captured by the charm of the front facade of "Skye". The features and homely comfort made for an extremely pleasant 3 night stay.Our communications with host, Geraldine were easy, helpful and witty. The location was quiet and convenient and the front sitting room was a haven for away from our men folk.The pantry with lots of bits n pieces was a blessing and the welcome pack a lovely surprise.Well done Geraldine and we'll be back given an opportunity and will be highly recommending "Skye"
