"We enjoyed our stay here. The room was really nice- clean, comfortable and well equipped. Lots of amenities available to enjoy on property."

"Some places don’t just give you a bed for the night — they give you a feeling you didn’t realise you were missing.Tucked deep into the bushland of Mount Helen, this stay is wrapped in tall gum trees, drifting leaves, and a silence so complete it almost hums. From the moment you turn onto the gravel driveway, the forest canopy arches overhead and the world you came from begins to fall away. The air smells like eucalyptus and earth. Birds become the soundtrack. Time loosens its grip.As the sun sinks, the bush glows. Orange and pink light threads between the trunks, turning the landscape into a living silhouette. It’s the kind of sunset you don’t rush to photograph because you’re too busy standing still inside it.At the heart of it all sits the beautifully restored vintage caravan — polished aluminium on the outside, warm timber tones and cosy comfort within. It feels honest, thoughtfully done, and full of character. The kind of place where you kick off your shoes, open the door, and let the forest air roll straight in. Morning coffee here hits differently. Mornings unfold slowly, cool air on your face, nothing demanding your attention.What makes this stay unforgettable isn’t luxury — it’s stillness. Real Australian bushland surrounds you: ferns, native scrub, leaf-littered paths, and walking tracks that snake quietly through the trees. You’re constantly reminded that you’re in true, untouched bushland — not a manicured garden. "

"Rachel was a delight. Comfortable room and beds "

"Room very clean and tidy. Good shower. "

"Yes"

"Best place to be!"

"We loved Waller house, it was very clean and on a quiet street that is only a 5 minute drive from the centre of Ballarat. The beds were comfortable, and the kitchen, bathroom and laundry had the necessary items.The house has a great relaxed retro feel and a peaceful enclosed private backyard. The only shortcoming was the lack of water pressure in the shower but that wasn't a big deal. We would stay here again."

"clean room, quiet location, easy to checkin"
