Featured Hotels near Lake Wendouree historic shelter built by B.A.Johnson, Lake Wendouree

On the main road into the city from Geelong, 2 min walk to Coles and about 5 min drive into the city. Room was clean and good size with comfy chairs and small table for dining or work. Had Austar which was nice but really hard to figure out due to 3 different remotes, the main remote being in Chinese so that kinda made simply watching free to air a real drama.

I can highly recommend Barkly Motorlodge in terms of the facilities they have for wheelchair access in Unit 17. It is well set up. Shower and toilet facilities are good. The room itself with the bathroom between the double bed and the single bed is ideal for carer/client. The noise of traffic at night from traffic was a little loud but that was my choice as I do not like sleeping in aircon preferring to open a window or two. Highly recommend the motel for its closeness to the main areas of the City and for its disabled facilities.

The hotel has a long history, and you can feel the special cultural atmosphere as soon as you enter it. The elevator door still needs to be opened and closed manually, like some shooting scenes in the movie. The night of the stay, the front desk brother was warm, the service was thoughtful, the explanation was very patient and detailed, and said that the design of our passports was cool, from the color of the cover to the design of the first page. The dinner was eaten at the restaurant on the first floor that night, and they recommended red curry fish, which tasted very good. The hotel room is clean and tidy, the single bed room is booked, the heating is comfortable, the bathroom has a hot towel rack, which is very comfortable.

Ballarat flashed from Melbourne, the hotel is one step away from the train station and conveniently located. The sound of the train can be heard, and the hotel has earplugs at the bedside. But the staff is seriously insufficient on public holidays, and the front desk +housekeeping seems to be one person. Booked a room rate with breakfast, checkin was told that there was no breakfast, contacted Trip.com customer service to solve it

So we stayed here for one night. We were wanting seperate rooms for kids and us, wanted a pool and/or spa bath. It has all. We had a family room. The staff were really friendly when booking, checking in, checking out and needing assistance. As soon as we checked it we wanted to jump in the pool (indoor heated pool) and saw it was covered up. We called to see if it was closed, and they said no they just like to limit it to one family at a time so he opened it up for us. It wasn't deep, appx 1.35m. It was warm clean. It had a few chairs and tables inside to leave your stuff. We were able to get pool towels from reception. It would have been good have a toilet in there, instead of having to go back to room (we were on top level). The room was clean and neat. TVs worked, air con worked which was great. Beds comfy. Had a desk, couch and dining table. Had a kettle, toaster and microwave with a mini bar fridge. Unfortunately no bowels, big plates or Cutlery. So it made things a little difficult. Didn't have a bench where you could do all that, just a cupboard where the kettle and all that were kept. We have a special needs child and her meals are very particular so having some space to make these would have been good. The bathroom was clean and big. The spa bath was big and comfortable. It was nice to relax in there. Maybe a small side table next to it would have been good. Overall it was a nice place to stay for a very reasonable price. I would stay here again.

The rooms are clean and spacious, with a queen and single bed provided it is a good set up for a family. We stayed one night after spending the day at Sovereign Hill. Also has a small indoor heated pool, perfect for my son to swim around in. Owners were welcoming, which topped off an enjoyable stay in Ballarat. The following day we spent some time around the Lake and checked out the paddle boats and look out at the top of Mount Buninyong, which was another highlight for my son.

It's two or three kilometers away from the city center. It's like a resort. There is a reception at the entrance. It takes three to five minutes to walk in. The cottage, the first-floor bungalows in the townhouse, and free parking next to it. It was enough for three people. It was not so crowded. The door was open outdoors. It was not the same as staying in a hotel. It was good. You could sit at the door and watch the stars. It felt quieter than the hotel and no neighbors disturbed. Close to Shufenshan Gold Mine Town. If you want to go out for dinner, you have to go outside the yard to find it. On the walk, you do n’t have to go out.

Quite nice hotel, clean and tidy. The booked room contains breakfast and is quite rich. Easy parking. The hotel is just around the Sovereign Hill and it takes about 10 minutes to walk to the Visitor Service Center.

Stayed 4 nights in a superior suite. The room is 39sq m which is reasonably spacious given it has two double beds, a sofa, a small kitchen table with 4 chairs and a writing bench along one wall. It comes with the usual kitchen appliances, microwave, small cook top with oven and fridge. Tea and coffee sachets are provided. If self catering the food preparation area is quite limited as the appliances take up all the kitchen bench. There is a wall heater and an air conditioner. The beds were reasonably comfortable. There is no safe in the room. The room is comfortable enough although there is no balcony or windows that can be fully opened so unless the door is kept open fresh air is limited. The place is very convenient to downtown and the station. A stroll to downtown is around 10 minutes. One issue was the noise on the Friday night - whether it was noisy people in the next door pub or noisy Friday night guests away for the weekend I don't know but there were some rowdy types disturbing the peace. I'd stay here again but probably only during the week.
