We enjoyed our stay at the Bell Tower. Our two adjacent rooms were spacious, with very comfortable beds, good lighting options and good bathrooms (one with a bath spa). We appreciated the small ‘kitchen’ table and sofa in each, and split system heating during unseasonably cold weather. A few shops are within walking distance and it’s about a 5-7 minute drive to the city. We appreciated the motel offering a pet-friendly room. We were there for the one night only so did not use all the amenities or the on-site restaurant. Helpful, friendly service. And the price we paid seemed very competitive given Ballarat’s popularity. One can imagine the complex and rooms being progressively updated / refreshed, and it would be good if the Bell Tower offered recycling bins. Overall, a very good experience.

Beh, cosa posso dire? Ho dormito bene e ero caldo, ma questo è dove si fermano i positivi. Quando entrano nel motel ci sono due giù di velocità all'ingresso. Sì, capisco che questi saranno per aiutare a rallentare, ma sono sicuro che avere la dimensione di un gatto adulto alto non è né necessario né sicuro per quei veicoli più piccoli e soprattutto se non si è perfettamente alzato direttamente! Poi la stanza era ben chiara, c'erano cambiamenti, ma i poveri. Ero un amante di Kmart, ho letteralmente guardato il 90% della stanza e era Kmart. Non odiavo la stanza, ma non c'era molta mente. La vasca va bene iniziare con i pezzi di palle da capelli sul terreno yep e posso confidentemente dire non miei! 😳 Next was the door to the bathroom, clearly something had happened to it earlier because it was not a clean close. Poi la doccia si allontana dalle porte strane, la base della doccia è tutto quello che posso dire è camminare attentamente perché mi sentivo come qualsiasi mossa che avessi fatto, che avrei dovuto passare attraverso. The shower head wow so instead of doing correct plumbing and filling in the hole they have placed bits of bark, yes you heard me bark to ‘secure’ the shower head! 🤣 Onto breakfast in the red shed. Alcuni tavoli di plastica, sedie incompatibili (sentiti più vicini al pavimento della tavola), fiori di plastica e segni multiple di “non togliere nulla che stiamo guardando. ’ Hai avuto tre tostapane, buche di pane, cereali, condimenti, una caldaia (perchè non più o uno degli industriali che non capisco), succo e latte nel frigorifero. Mi sentivo come se fossi in un campeggio scolastico. Ho avuto migliori esperienze e configurazioni sui campi scout 🤣 Quindi in sintesi sarò tornato? Non una possibilita'! Grazie per avermi mantenuto caldo, anche se 🤷🏻‍♀️

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.

Spending a weekend in Ballarat to go to a birthday party, and decided to stay at the Lake Inn. Walking distance to Lake Wendouree, this lovely motel is on a quiet street away from the centre of Ballarat. We were given a room on the second floor with a view across the street to the local football ground. Generous sized room, with queen bed. Lovely updated bathroom with good sized shower (decent hairdryer!!) and vanity, and a small kitchenette with microwave, toaster, kettle and small fridge. We enjoyed our stay at the Lake Inn, and would recommend if you are staying in Ballarat and want somewhere a little quieter.

Recently visited Newington apartments and was greeted with lovely decorations and furniture upon arrival. It was a comfortable and spacious apartment that provided great amenities. It's close proximity to the city centre ensured we were very able to explore the area during our short stay. However, issues arose as our apartment was meant to include 2 sofas but were instead provided with 1. The staff's response was to ”ensure we thoroughly check photos of the apartment before booking”. This shouldn't be the case when the description included ” two sofas”. Following on the poorly constructed bathroom meant loose handles and screeching showers when the water was turned on. In the midst of a pandemic there is no mention of any additional sanitary measures the management have taken to deal with COVID-19.

We stayed in the Grand Room (No 1). The room was very big and had an inviting fire going when we arrived. We did arrive a little earlier than the check in time of 2.00pm and found parking was a bit of an issue. The car parks out the back were full (I assume with cleaning staff) and there were no staff on site. There was no parking out the front - a very busy church or school across the road. We had to park out on the main street and walk our bags around. We made a call on a mobile phone number we had and they organised a key quickly for us which allowed us into our room early. We went out and grabbed lunch and got back around 2.00pm and the car parks were starting to empty out by then and we were able to snag a car park straight out the front. Room was beautiful and full of character. Was very well appointed. If you have problems with stairs I would make sure I book a ground floor room. I couldn't see a lift and there were no staff on site to assist with bags.
