Very clean, very comfortable and well set up, good breakfasts and helpful owner. I did think that it is important to know that we had a car and could get there easily but it is a 5 minute drive from the City Centre, it is not walking distance

Thank you for your review. We liked having you stay with us. Although we are not in the CBD, we are not too far from the center of town. As 99.9% of our guest travel by car, we find that it is not an issue. The lovely views and the quiet area makes up for not being in the heart... More

My friends and I went to Ballarat for the annual Ballarat Autumn Day ride. Having stayed at more than a few bed and breakfasts in recent years I was cautiously optimistic. Hesitation vanished upon arrival. We found the rooms to be immaculate and very comfortable with enormous king-size beds, generous pillows, lovely crisp sheets and a feeling that everything was...

Thank you Doug for your review. We often have groups stay at Canadian Lodge. It means friends can get together in the shared lounge facilities when they want to, and have some "time out" in their own private room as well. Ballarat's Autumn Day ride is a favorite amongst cyclists, and provides a great cycling opportunity in Victoria's county side.... More

The attention to detail that Ingrid has put into her b and b is a credit to her. This purpose-built b and b is adjacent to the main accommodation and located in a quiet part of Ballarat. Only a few minute's drive into town and to Sovereign Hill. It boasts a large, comfortable lounge area with all the conveniences, a... More

My husband and I stayed at Canadian Lodge for two nights for a break away. Ingrid was an outstanding hostess-nothing was left to chance. Breakfast was delicious - a range of cereals, followed by our choice of hot food. We could even cook our own toast. The rooms were large, clean and comfortable. The bed was king sized and very...

Canadian Lodge has been thoughtfully designed and purpose built to provide you with every comfort - even down to a comfortable guest lounge and dining area and a microwave if you don't feel like going out for a meal. The bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms are very spacious, with even a dressing room for your suitcase and clothes. Andrew and Ingrid... More

Our experience was the same as other reviewers. Andrew and Ingrid were very welcoming and obviously take great care in running an excellent B&B. The room was spacious and well-appointed. It and the whole house were immaculately clean. The breakfast was excellent in the very comfortable lounge/dining area. Although located away from the town centre, it is only a short... More

A unique B&B in that it is new and modern. This place was also super clean. All the little touches made us feel like we were actually a guest in someone's home, not staying in a place for which I was laying. Ingrid and Andrew were welcoming and looked after our every need. Breakfast was a nice surprise with the... More

Had a great time out here doing some mountain/off-road biking and using this wee place as our recharge centre for a bit of shut-eye and winding down after a hard day’s riding. The hosts were very welcoming and not at all put out by our dirty bikes cluttering up the place at the end of each day. Well-recommended to all.

We had a very comfortable room with large bathroom and lovely breakfast.

For an evening meal, we would recommend Da Vinci's and Eureka Cafe, both in the main... More
