Family-friendly vacation rentals in Ballarat

We felt at home, first time we found great utensils and good cookware as we like to cook. Comfortable, quiet and the local possum gave us a good welcome. Thank you for letting us use your home.

The perfect spot to stay in Daylesford. This immaculate house has a dreamy view across the valley. Immaculately clean, this property is spacious and has every amenity a guest requires for a beautiful stay. Close enough to town that we walked in for dinner but so quiet and relaxing. We have been to Daylesford several times and would definitely stay in James’s property again.

Dave & Cherie’s place is a beautiful home in a nice and relaxing location!

This is a beautiful house in the peaceful neighbourhood that has a close proximity to all you need in Daylesford e.g. supermarket and town area. We highly recommended! Andrew is also proactive and provided a clear instructions and communication for our stay.

Thanks Michele, we loved our short stay in your cottage. It had everything that we needed and more. It was in a beautiful area and it was so peaceful, which is what we were hoping for. When we are back in the Hepburn region we will definitely look at booking again. Thank you, Leanne

We booked this stunning Daylesford house for our best friend’s 40th — and WOW, what a weekend! The vibes were immaculate, the house was beyond gorgeous, and we spent three days laughing, grazing, and sipping Prosecco like queens. Perfect for a girls’ getaway and milestone celebration!

Prue is a great host and the cottage had everything we were after, would stay again :)

Spent 2 nights La Boheme. We really enjoyed our stay here. The place is in the middle of nature with plenty of wildlife. The highlight was definitely the regular kangaroos bouncy past the house. The location is perfect with plenty to do and plenty to see.

Great location, near shops and the house was so beautiful. Only issue we had was we found it difficult to get hot water despite following the instructions left. It also gets a bit hot in the rear rooms in summer but nothing a few open windows cant fix. Thanks for allowing us to have a wonderful weekend.

We had a great stay at Daylesford Country Retreats. The accommodation was just as described and as per the photos. The beautiful scenery around the property made our stay so peaceful. We will definitely be coming back again. Thank you for having us!

Perfect spot for a small group country getaway. Great location with gorgeous views from the front porch, plenty of outdoor spaces, and a fire-pit that would be lovely in winter. The main cottage was very cute & cosy while the studio was spacious and airy. All very clean & comfortable with plenty of amenities, rustic touches, and good kitchen/bathroom facilities. Close to town (short walk downhill to shops) but still secluded with lots of greenery. Emma was a great host, gave clear instructions & was quick to respond to messages.

Piccolo Cottage is the perfect place for a cosy getaway. We could have stayed in the whole time just to relax and enjoy. Loved all the amenities and quiet location.

Anne's place is great, we had a excellent stay. Very comfortable and clean place.

Lovely old miners cottage. Great bed. Had everything required for a relaxing stay. Short walk into Daylesford. Nice extra touches.

Musk Creek Hollow is a definite must stay! It is not just a place to stay, it is an experience. From the stunning decor and artwork to the beautiful, green, and tranquil surroundings, you won't be disappointed. The bed is comfy, the linen top quality and you have heating or a lovely wood heater to keep you warm. There is everything you need for a memorable stay. You won't want to leave and you will definately want to come back! Martin is a friendly, easy going and responsive host and I applaud him for all the thought he has put into his accommodation.

Peaceful and comfortable with lovely outlooks front and back. Karen was great and helpful in communicating through out. Front and rear decks with plenty of places to sit and relax was terrific. Great for 2 people and our dog loved it.

Easy & early check-in, beautiful home & entertaining pool/spa/sauna, looked exactly like the photos and hosts were very kind and quick in response. One of the best Airbnbs I’ve stayed in! Highly recommend :) Will be coming back.

The Unit was spot on! Close walk to city centre (3 minutes) if you can’t be bothered walking that far there is a place to eat across the road, lots of thing to do within walking distance, train ride, market on a Sunday, lots of restaurants, cafe’s, shops, museums! Quick walk to the Wombats garden. Wineries within driving distance (great wines!) Thanks Renee & Izzy! We enjoyed our Easter trip away from Geelong..

Our extended family just spent the week at Calando Hill. It felt like being at an exclusive 5 Star resort in regional Victoria. This included the plush bathrobes, fantastic amenities such as the pool, entertainment system, billiard table, cooks kitchen and beautiful interiors. The house itself is enormous, but felt cosy and inviting. The views all around are spectacular… and if you like solitude, this is the perfect place. We also managed to fit in a winery visit, hike to a beautiful waterfall and lunch at the local pub in Loxton. This place has something for everyone, and to top it off it’s dog friendly! Thanks Richard and Anita for welcoming us, I am definitely planning a return trip!

We had a great stay and Renee and Izy's. The location was fantastic for nature, food and fun. Thanks for having us.
