    I loved how cozy and spacious the room was, plus the bed was super comfy for a good night’s sleep. The garden area was a nice touch for relaxation, and it felt really peaceful despite being close to town. Just a small hiccup was the shower pressure, which could've been better, but overall, it didn’t take away from the lovely experience! 🌟

    I truly enjoyed the hotel, it was modern and fairly clean with great location close to the outer area of town. Coffee and free tea inside the family room were handy. The staff was very very nice, they provided an excellent service. The vibe here was family: )

    the newly renovated bathroom was a refreshing touch, and I loved the peaceful garden area, which made it easy for us seniors to enjoy the outdoors without straining ourselves.

    The children working there could offer more assistance with housekeeping.

    The Miner’s Retreat Motel in Ballarat is a clean hotel with extremely helpful staff who made my stay enjoyable. My chalet was well-equipped with a refrigerator, electric kettle, and microwave oven, which were very useful during my two-night winter visit. I loved relaxing in the functional bathroom after a long day. the location is fantastic, conveniently situated near Sovereign Hill and other main attractions, while also being close to the outer area of town. my experience was really good, and I would definitely recommend it.

    Everything was simply good. I loved the place and had a very pleasant stay for two nights during winter. My twin room, equipped with a TV and a new-fashioned futon bed, was comfortable and cozy. the best part was the attentive and friendly staff, who made my visit even nicer. the central location was a real advantage, with a bakery and shops conveniently right next door. Plus, there’s a great restaurant that serves delicious Indian specialties.

    The bed was a bit hard, but the beautiful new bathroom and great shower more than made up for it. The picturesque location and fantastic proximity to town were also major highlights. I would recommend this hotel.

    The motel had an excellent location with several attractions nearby. the rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable with a nicely renovated bathroom. the staff was friendly, helpful, and responsive. the motel also offered a choice of breakfasts and provided extra blankets and towels.

    Some sheets and blankets were old with stains, which could have been better.

    Good location with easy access to public transport and plenty of local cafes. the rooms were nicely decorated with a comfortable bed and a modern bathroom. Bonus points for the complimentary bottle of water and chocolates.

    The room was not properly cleaned before our arrival - there was a lingering smell of cigarette smoke and some stains on the bedspread. the air conditioning unit was also quite noisy and kept us up at night.
