Renovated to respect the simple charm of the 1960's, the Retro retreat offers guests an opportunity to relax and unwind and has been carefully curated with a mix of old and new decor throughout. Big windows welcomes natural light and makes the house feel open, bright and inviting. Close to Ballarats shopping precinct, eateries, Lake Wendoree and the Botanical Gardens - Armstrong street Ballarat's culinary strip is a brief stroll or quick uber up the road :Spanish Mexican, Pizza or Asian complete with a delicious cocktail or two to finish off a memorable night out. The retreat is your perfect home from home - to explore Ballarat and the Goldfields. The entire house is yours and can sleep up to 4 guests - and a large backyard for your fur baby who will love the open space to run free. Its an ideal retreat for a romantic getaway, a girls weekend, or mini break to relax and recharge. There are two generous size bedrooms - one king and one queen, decorated to respect the simple charm of the 1960s - comfortable beds, quality fresh linen and electric blankets to keep you warm on a cold winters night. The kitchen is small but has everything you need to make your stay comfortable. Our quirky 1960s kitchen has plenty of kit to whip up a delicious feast/ or if you prefer set up a cheese board a glass of wine and you're set for relaxing night in. There is a bbq and small back deck to relax and unwind or sit back and watch a fav on netflix in the comfort of the lounge - and we offer free fast unlimited WIFI, a 50" smart TV, and plenty of books and magazine. A natural born bower bird at heart I have curated the house with found and foraged objects to respect the charm of the 1960s. There is a dining room with a mid century dining table - a space to enjoy a delicious feast after foraging for local produce - Ballarat is becoming a food hub with plenty of places to seek out your local feast and you will be spoilt for choice. Feel free to bring your bikes and enjoy exploring the magical charm of Ballarat - a regional hub and home to many artists, foodies, beer makers and gardeners. Or use the house as a base to explore other regional towns that are within close proximity to Ballarat - and perhaps discover a gold nugget or two. We look forward to welcoming you to our quirky 1960s Retro retreat and hope you enjoy your stay as much as we love the house and central location.
