Accommodation on Soldiers' Hill
Classical Ballarat miners house. Loved the character of the building with it high ceilings and modern yet industrial feel. There was enough room for all. The kids really enjoyed the "attic bed". Kitchen was amazing and functional with enough space for all around the dinner table.
