As a family, we had such a wonderful time staying here! Very child friendly. Short walk to both a skatepark and a playground. Fish and chip shop a stones throw away. Plenty of beds, DVDs, books, and very cute furniture. Loved it!

Lovely little cottage within walking distance of the town centre. Great for weekends or a short stay. It might feel a bit cramped for parties of more than three, however, my daughter and I were very comfortable. Would be nice in warm weather as it has a lovely deep verandah where you could sit and have a glass of wine, or enjoy meals. Decor is very 90s... but we weren't there for interior design inspiration!

Comfortable and as described. A good base to explore central Victoria and to look forward to coming "home" to at the end of the day.

We had a lovely 4 days/nights in this rural little town and enjoyed learning about it's history. The cottage was lovely and old - clean and tidy - and provided everything we needed for our stay. Our only suggestion would be to have a stovetop as we were limited with what we could cook. The host Marlene was delightful and we would recommend to anyone looking to have a quiet country getaway! Thank you.

PEACEFUL GETAWAY
Upon arriving one sees a quaint heritage cottage nestled in a peaceful garden with a wrap-around verandah. It is ample big enough for a couple wanting to experience a quiet getaway. Ballarat is only 25 minutes away, if a change of scenery is desired.

Clunes with dogs
Marlene was a lovely host, friendly and accommodating. However, I couldn't find anywhere in the details of the listing an indication that the front yard was not secured for dogs - there were gaps in the fence - and once we got in the back garden, my young dog had an almighty fight with the resident cat.
This said, once the dust settled, all went smoothly!
