“Excellent service, rooms great for price point, clean and well maintained. Great parking if you are towing a trailer and need to store it off the street.”
“Fantastic worm clean and inviting rooms, excellent staff, bloody awesome tv movie selection. Comfortable beds five stars seaing eye dog freindly with no hassel... thanks guys from the blind couple in room 6”
“We were attending a wedding at Sovereign Hill so we stayed two nights. A party of four we were well catered for. We had a two bedroom apartment at the back. Room was a very good size. Wardrobes in both bedrooms. Kitchen that we did have a chance to use except for boiling the jug. Everything was there for a two night stay. Handy to Sovereign Hill and quite. Thank you.”
“Eureka Lodge Motel for its category it’s excellent value. The room was clean, comfy, and surprisingly spacious, with a modern TV and Foxtel which made it easy to relax with some sport and movies after a big day out. The location was handy too—just a short drive to the main street, and right across the road from a really pretty park. Overall, a really pleasant stay and great price for what you get. I’d happily stay here again.”
“Nice and quiet, good size parking spots. Room very good size and well laid out. Even providing stools and counter for eating. Good baggage space.Well done.”
“Good value motel handy for most Ballarat experiences. Beds good, comfy. Clean. Warm with air con and electric blankets. Needed to understand to run hot water full on before adding cold - but it was a good shower too either way plenty of space for our toiletries and clothes. And table and chairs to sit and eat a meal in a civilised way. This was our third stay here and expect to come back in July.”
