By booking this property, you're agreeing to our simple house rules—nothing wild, just the essentials to keep everyone happy and the space sparkling for the next guests! Please review the agreement in your guest portal and house guides (digital & print) House Rules To ensure a pleasant stay for everyone, please follow these guidelines: Be Nice: Treat our staff and contractors like the rockstars they are. Smoking: Allowed only outdoors, away from doors and windows. Don’t worry, the plants won’t mind. No Firearms: Leave your slingshots and cannons at home. No Fireworks: Because we don’t want your holiday to end with a bang (literally). No Illegal Activities: We’re not running a crime drama here. Keep It Down: Channel your inner ninja and keep noise levels reasonable. Guest Limit: Only the number of guests listed in the booking can stay overnight. No sneaky sleepovers. No Parties: Let’s keep it cosy, not crazy. Pets: Only dogs are allowed at our properties, and only with prior approval. Check the listing for specific pet rules—Fido deserves a holiday too, but only if we've given the green light! Upon Check-Out Dishes: Wash and put away. Pretend you’re at home and your mum is watching. Turn Off: All lights, heaters, and coolers. Help us save the planet. Pet Cleanup: Don’t leave us any surprises. Clean BBQ: If you used it, give it a scrub. We love a good BBQ, but not the cleanup. Trash: Put it in the correct bins outside. Channel your inner recycling guru. Linens: Don’t wash them. Seriously, we’ve got it covered. If these rules are broken, we may have to cancel your stay with no refund. We really don’t want to do that. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Fenced yard - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - On a lake ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/114000000/113560000/113557500/113557480/0dc898db.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Maison d'Aurum A Pet Friendly and Family Friendly Heritage house Ballarat East - Breakfast included - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.8 Exceptional 7 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-20&endDate=2025-10-21&selected=113557480&PinnedHotelID=113557480&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111220000/111216100/111216037/42053a3b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Wonky Cottage: large backyard, close to CBD Redan - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-20&endDate=2025-10-21&selected=111216037&PinnedHotelID=111216037&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99250000/99246900/99246857/w1024h680x0y3-1ad3b3b2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Walk to Sovereign Hill, Cafes & Shops from this historic, pet-friendly villa.

Milk, butter, tea and coffee provided. Host uses third party websites, asking to click on links outside of Stayz/vivo. Location right next to busy train line. Sofa sinks in middle. TV not smart. One bed soft, other firm. Shower hot and powerful. Aircon heats house well. ##### Wilson D.
