About this property

The Miner's Loft - Ballarat

  • Welcome to The Miner's Loft - Ballarat, a unique, very popular and well located BnB. You will step through the front door and be struck by the comfortable, cosy and rustic spaces that we have tastefully decorated. Our beds are luxurious and highly rated - "an amazingly whimsical, awesome place to stay." The Miner's Loft is the perfect resting place for when you are visiting Ballarat and exploring all the region has to offer.

    This quaint cottage is located centrally and only a short drive to most attractions. The house exudes old fashioned home-style charm with a splash of sophistication and special French flairs. The Miner's Loft can sleep 9 with a King Bed + day bed / single bed, 2 x Queen Bed, and 2 single beds perched above the main bedroom like a large cubby for the kids. The Miner's Loft is well suited to a family and also a group booking of up to nine people. You will appreciate the quirky and comfortable surroundings of this purpose-built miner's cottage. Situated within a short walk to supermarkets, it is also an easy drive to nearby regions of Daylesford, Trentham and the surrounding Gold towns. A stay at The Miner's Loft - Ballarat will not disappoint.

Exciting for younger family members

Convenient location with unique floor plan that lends itself to “hide & seek”. There’s plenty of space and quirky characteristics to make a memorable experience. The twin loft beds are accessed past the queen bed which would give a little extra parental supervision opportunity if you need it. Loved the fireplace.

Gals weekend!

Quaint and quirky but bring plenty of wood in winter! Loads to look at with the eclectic rustic charm of the house. Loved our stay though couldn’t find the speaker charger. Beware the stairs if there’s a couple of you in the kitchen! LOL
