    Loved the trees and plants around the house, it was very warm and cosy, kitchen facilities were great and house was spacious. We very much enjoyed our stay. Just needs a little bit more lighting for reading, but overall it was a wonderful place to get away.

    Oscars Hotel and Bar is in a very good position for accessing shops, restaurants, the art gallery, movie theatre and Lésspresso cafe which has THE BEST COFFEE in Ballarat. The rooms are very comfortable and have everything one needs for a stay. Although busy with the restaurant the accommodation area is very well protected from any noise from the downstairs eating areas. All Oscars staff I encountered (wait staff, management, room service staff) are very experienced, friendly and professional. Oscars restaurant was VERY popular over the three day weekend I was there and I can understand why (staff, position, comfort, accessible and welcoming for all age groups. Their wine list, whilst not extensive, had some good choices and I enjoyed both eating experiences over what was a drizzly, cold weekend. Parking was easily accessible down a side lane behind the building, and access with baggage easy from that area through to reception- staff will help with taking luggage upstairs to rooms - no lifts in keeping with any older style stone building that has been upgraded in keeping with comfort and style expected. I would recommend Oscars to anyone who would like to park the car and explore the CBD, or have the car easily accessible to scope out the many offerings in and around Ballarat.

    So much to see and do for all types of travellers of all ages - from the recreated gold mining town of Sovereign Hill, the stately Kryal Castle, the Wildlife Park and/or Ballarat Bird World to visiting the Ballarat Tramway Museum (with a ride on a heritage tram), a walk around Lake Wendouree (with so much bird life to see), strolling the magnificent Woowookarung Dementia Friendly Forest & Sensory Trail or taking in the magnificent view from Mt Buninyong, spend time in the beautiful Botanical Gardens or even take a casual art class - there is something for everyone! A wonderful choice of accommodation for all types of travellers in various price ranges, wonderful places to eat and choice shopping experience. You’ll need to stay more than one night though!

    Ballarat is a quaint little town.

    Ballarat is a quaint little town. Sovereign Hill was the main focus of our visit, plus catching up with family. The kids, 12 and 9, loved exploring Sovereign Hill, and there was plenty to see and do; panning for gold, shopping for jewellery, and learning about the second largest gold nugget ever found. We stayed at Sovereign Park Motor Inn, which was perfect for our family of four. The Red Lion next door made for an easy breakfast option before we left Ballarat.

    I love the history of Ballarat.

    I love the history of Ballarat. The buildings have been well maintained. Plenty to see and do for adults. Plenty of good food places available Much improved in that respect. Sovereign Hill is a must visit so is a stroll along Lydiard street

    Beautiful old world charm. Heating in floor was a welcome surprise throughout the home and a nice touch by host Jen was the heating was on when we arrived. It really is cosy.and having a separate big lounge was a bonus. Home is so close to the Main street, walking distance to shops, hotels and eateries. Spa bath was perfect and great after a day of exploring Ballarat. This home is surprisingly large and would definetly book again. Decor was beautiful and we felt so much at home. Thankyou

    Comfortable single room in beautiful period hotel, meticulously restored. My room and bathroom were small but very clean with antique furniture and had everything I needed for a one night stay. My room was quiet and cosy. I was able to park overnight right outside the hotel for free. The location is excellent, in the middle of Ballarat close to shops, restaurants, station, art gallery etc. Breakfast and reception all good.

    great little hotel. Staff were very accommodating as we only booked at the end of their day, they emailed our instructions to get to our room. The hotel is close to Ballarat railway station and it had a great little hotel next door to eat at. Overall great experience.

    We were after cheap, clean comfortable accomodation as we were just travelling thru Ballarat. This ticked all those boxes. While we did not go to sovereign hill, the property is a short walk.
