We had an amazing stay here at Cottage D'Or. Absolute luxury. Has everything you need. All the extras made the stay super enjoyable. Will definitely be back!

“Cosy yet spacious cottage.”

The ambience was warm and inviting. The cottage was spotless and the decor was luxurious. The added extras denoted a touch of thoughtfulness and kindness. We wanted for Nothing and appreciated Everything. Bridget is a superb host.

“Beautiful cottage with plenty of space and comforts.”

Outstanding presentation with quality finishes and touches Close to CBD and responsive communication from Bridget

“Awesome attention to detail and convenient location.”

Cleanliness and awesome attention to detail were features of this beautifully presented property. We appreciated the proximity to the Ballarat city centre and the convenience of being able to walk to everything. We’ll be back!!

“Lovely and restful”

This is a beautiful cottage. The hosts think of every little detail to make the stay amazing. From the moment that you check in you feel well cared for. I would recommend this place to anyone.

“Would consider staying again at Cottage D'Or if staying in Ballarat again. Would highly recommend”

The location was not in Ballarat CBD, but an easy comfortable work. Breakfast was a nice surprise. The food basket consisting of local produce (bread, Jam, Honey, Tea/Coffee, biscuits, Chocolates etc) was plentiful. As soon you entered your passcode you were welcomed. Entering the premises it felt homely. Our host Bridget kept in touch to check to ensure our stay was pleasant.

“I highly recommend Cottage D’Or as a lovely comfortable place to stay. Kudos to the owners!”

It’s a beautiful comfortable cottage, tastefully decorated, exceptionally clean, with thoughtful extras to make you feel most welcome. As a couple we really enjoyed our short stay.

“If in Ballarat treat yourself and stay here.”

Excellent property to stay in. Great facilities. Everything thought of and a very welcoming place. Great location with easy access to shops and supermarkets.

This is an exceptional cottage. Spotlessly clean, great location with nearby supermarkets and pubs. Great information

“Rob and Bridget were the ultimate hosts, nothing was too much effort and it was apparent our hosts take great pride in t”

Cottage D’Or far exceeded our expectations, my wife and I expected “good” but we got “superb”. The Cottage itself was warm and inviting, beautifully decorated, meticulously clean and fully furnished with quality beds and Sheridan towels and linen. The kitchen was fully equipped and there were all appliances that you would have in your own home so staying there was easy.

“Excellent place to stay - thoughtful inclusions by the hosts and a seamless experience.”

Every little thing was thought of and easy to access. Nicely decorated, a good size and just so easy to stay in.

“Great escape weekend to a lovely quiet cottage with everything we needed.”

The staff had considered everything guests might need for a comfortable stay. A generous welcome hamper, toiletries, dressing gowns… The cottage is fully equipped with tasteful decor & crockery, and a short walk to the city centre.

“Fantastic, would stay again!”

What's not to like? Cottage D'Or is your home away from home! A lovely cottage to relax by yourself like I did, with a partner, with friends or even a small family. From the striking curbside appeal with the cottage being a lovely blue with the bright yellow door & smart lock with your name on it then once you enter the loungeroom already has either cooling or heating started, ambient music playing on the TV and the air smells minty & fresh (I'm so buying some of those Koala Eco sprays!) It's a small one bedroom house but there is room enough for up to four people as there's a three seater sofa bed lounge & extra seat. The main bed is like a tall MARSHMALLOW of soft Sheridan bedding (very luxe). You are then welcomed with a wine & snacks basket, some tasty bread & spreads for an easy toast breakfast and there's even some juices & waters and milks included in the fridge and a coffee pod machine and a large selection of Twinnings teas to choose from. Full kitchen has plenty of very pretty looking dinnerware & accessories to cook a full meal. Dishwasher to use for a quick clean up is a bonus. Bathroom is great, the shower is heavenly and large for us more fluffy beings! And more Sheridan towels, very bougie! Also love the included amenities of mini grooming kits, shower caps & makeup wipes and I've been converted to buying a Dyson hair dryer now after using the one included! The location is great to take a walk or a quick drive or taxi ride where you need to go as it's still fairly quiet & not too far from the CBD of Ballarat Central. Uber Eats people can find it easily too if you specify blue house with yellow door! TV has so many free to air channels but you need to have your own streaming accounts for the apps unfortunately. The internet worked well on my phone & ipad. The courtyard would have been nice to sit in if it wasn't raining during most of my stay.

“Would recommend this property to everyone.”

Beautiful and elegant. Very relaxing and felt cosy. Great position
