Independent in Ballan from AU$95

"The fabulously unrennovated 70s decor is something to behold. I hope it stays that way."

"First stay at this hotel and it was really nice. The rooms and hotel generally were clean, and all was in good order. Not the largest rooms but for one it was fine. They do offer off-street parking but tried twice, on check-in and then after dinner and there was no space. There is all day parking about 30-40 metres away so that wasn't the end of the world. I have one negative or criticism, and that was to do with breakfast where I met a client. We both ordered eggs, but it came with just one...

"Like stepping back into living history, an amazing place to stay."

"Although very dated, the room was clean, spacious and the bed very comfortable. Everything worked well. "

"Difficult to find when following maps, was sending us to a back entrance which had long gone. Front entrance had broken sign which was away being repaired. Once found it was a good stay."

"Good location,close lake,pub next door."

"A great place to stay very friendly and helpful. Restaurant was excellent lovely food"

"Excellent position in the high street. Very quiet overnight. Spacious room. Couple of mild dislikes - parking a bit limited and poorl3y signed. Tea and coffee very ordinary in the room. Overall a comfortable well priced stay."
