Seymours on Lydiard
Accessible room was spacious car park right outside the room which was convenient. Did need extra hooks or bench space in the bathroom as it was lacking.

Accommodation on Soldiers' Hill
Classical Ballarat miners house. Loved the character of the building with it high ceilings and modern yet industrial feel. There was enough room for all. The kids really enjoyed the "attic bed". Kitchen was amazing and functional with enough space for all around the dinner table.
