Heidi and Jake
Ballarat Cottages offers three accommodation options. Two self-contained spa cottages and one house set amongst extensive gardens along the Yarrowee River. Property has direct access to the Yarrowee Trail with ample walking and bike tracks. The bird and wild life are aplenty to keep you entertained.
Having travelled the world in our twenties, we have settled back home to Ballarat to raise our family of three children and be close to our family and friends. We are so proud to show off Ballarat and all it has to offer to visitors and provide accommodation that is comfortable yet affordable.
The cottages are close to town and attractions but feel secluded in a private bush setting.
