Hotels near Ballarat Botanical Gardens in Ballarat

It had everything we required at a reasonable price. Bed was comfortable room was large and clean. Parked right outside room. Walked to Royal Mail pub that did an excellent meal. The motel is a bit out of town and a bit dated but it was perfectly ok. Indeed it exceeded expectations

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.

Cons ...I chose this accommodation due to the pictures and facilities that were offered. I am most disappointed with not having a properly working gas heater in the apartment. I was expecting a log gas heater as stipulated but instead an old gas heater that has a fault in the filter and turns off. The other heater/cooler is not big enough for the floor space and took up to 3 hours to heat the room. As for the tiny heaters in the bedrooms that don't heat up anything. The bathroom lights/heat thing has one glob not working. The fan/light in the living room doesn't work. We tried as stated in the rules to turn it on. And yes we turned it on at the wall and tried the remote it came with. Motor needs repairing. As for complementary toiletries, four adults have to share one tiny shampoo and conditioner bottle and two small soaps for 3 nights. Lucky I took my own soap. One a 1/4 roll of loo paper as well. Not a big deal but for the amount paid, I should not have to bring my own loo paper. It took me so long to find cups, plates ect. That were spead out in diffrent cupboards. Put coffee cups in the cupboard above the kettle or even Maybe have them altogether to make it easier to find. I have stayed in some lovely places and unfortunately was very disappointed in this one for the price. This is a very expensive place to stay for very little. Coming from a warm climate to Ballarat and not being able to get warm is the most disappointing thing of all. No Netflix as stated, but a very old Austar set up. Lots of things on the facility page that definitely were not included. Perhaps state which apartment has what in your advertisement to help people make a choice. I thought they would all have the same amenities. At least the basics anyway. Paying almost $1000 for 3 nights I could have been in Palm cove for a week at Peppers Beach club. I might suggest to maybe put usb outlets in so travellers don't have to bring their own plugs. Pros... The only real positive thing was the main bed. Very comfortable and large. Was quite clean except the sheet wasn't on properly and wasn't folded under mattress as you would expect.

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.

We were pleasantly surprised with this place. The bathroom looked like it was recently modernised and featured a doorless rain-head shower. There was a lot of counter space to leave items on which I always find an important detail as well as a good size drying rack. As for the bedroom, it was a nice big room. There were plenty of power-points and a nice table for extra items. There was also a surprise view of the town from the adorable French arched window. We were pleasantly surprised to discover they gave us a room with a kitchen and living room so we managed to enjoy those spaces as well, which like the rest of the place was very nicely sized and modern. The only negative we came across was the temperature. Ballarat gets very cold and we found that we had to run both heaters (one downstairs and upstairs) to warm up the place, especially since it was a high ceiling loft. It would be great if there was more building insulation with double-glazing so this wouldn’t be a necessity but I guess until that happens you have to blast the heater as the heat just seems to escape. All and all this was a lovely stay and I highly recommend it.

My sister and I enjoyed a visit to Ballarat and Castlemaine staying at the Goldfields both nights. It was finally great to get out of Melbourne after our never ending lockdown. The staff (COVID ‘tester’ and Reception) were very genuine in their welcome and made us feel right at home. The double room was fantastic with a great bathroom. The view of the golf course was exceptional. We enjoyed our travels during the two days and had a lovely meal one night in the restaurant. Breakfast both mornings was really good. The resort is wonderful and the staff amazing. Well done!!

This motel is on the edge of the city centre and close to restaurants, supermarkets and other amenities. The bed was very comfortable and a real large bed (not two single mattresses stuck together as many places seem to offer). Our room had a sofa, table and 2 chairs, small fridge, kettle, toaster, and tea/coffee making facilities. TV only offers free--to-air but that was not a problem for us. Very clean and easy check-in check-out. Off-street parking, good value all round.

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

Very modern, clean suites, love the showers, very spacious. Best mattress I’ve ever slept on, soft and comfy including the pillows. I fully recommend this place to escape to or unwind. Nice and quiet Quiet, the is fresh in beautiful Ballarat. Hope to return someday for a longer holiday.
