The house was perfect, could not fault anything about it. From the kitchen that had everything you needed to the comfy beds with cozy line. The ensuite with the bath was my favourite and my kids loved the stay as well.

Modern, clean & so convenient
2a Cardigan has all the comforts of home plus electric blankets! Our stay in winter is has been so cozy with an open fireplace (gas) in the main living and air conditioning throughout the bedrooms (we haven’t needed to use these). Its close to loads of great cafes and restaurants and just a short drive to Ballarat and close to grocery shops if you prefer not to cook. We have really enjoyed our stay, we can’t fault it.

Perfect stay for conference
We attended a Conference training in Ballarat and this quiet and well-appointed house was perfect for us. We enjoyed the proximity to Lake Wendouree, which offered us a relaxing walk to wind down after the long days. The house has everything we need and we would love to return in two years for our next Conference training. Thank you for having us.

A lovely stay
The house was spotlessly clean and everything worked. We had a really comfortable stay and would recommend the house. A few kilometres from the CBD, but a good bus service which sadly finishes a little early, but the walk back is very pleasant.

Lovely Property - Lovely Stay
Three generations (my mother, myself and my two daughters) enjoyed 5 days here. Lovely shared space and plenty of room for private time too. Despite the cold of Ballarat winter we were warm and comfortable. Teenage daughter said - "the pictures of this house don't show just how nice it is". So much to do in Ballarat and Daylesford - great family destination.

The property was clean, tidy and well equipped, perfect for short time stay. The wi-fi is a little intermittent though, it dropped out from time to time. Otherwise, everything else was great, we will recommend.
