Fantastic Place in Ballarat

I highly recommend this property to anyone seeking a lovely place to stay close to the centre of town. Geraldine has laid out a most welcoming home for out of town visitors, with a very well provisioned kitchen and larder available to make your stay care free. We just loved it.

What a gem of a home

The home is absolutely lovely, very welcoming, in a quiet street, comfortable and had everything you could need including food essentials and central heating for those chilly nights. It is also very welcoming for pets and the yard is secure. It is located within a short walk to the lake. It is the most homely accommodation I have stayed in. Thank you Geraldine!

Skye House perfect getaway.

Skye House is a lovely place to unwind, relax & enjoy. We enjoyed the warmth & tranquility with the added extras that made us, your guests, feel like we were staying with family. It was so cosy & warm on cold Ballarat nights, with the electric blankets on the very comfy beds. Beautifully decorated, very clean, a lovely cottage garden to wander around. Thank you for a great place to enjoy our birthday break.
