About the host
Hosted by Phillip Mobbs
I am an avid traveler and businessmen. We have loved setting this home up to be a place of joy for our guests.
Why they chose this property
This property is just in the best location! Opposite the north botanic gardens, and one house off the lake side. Many of Ballarat's festivals, bands and sporting events occur right near here. The home is a few minutes from the train station and has a tourist tram stop only a few meters away - this is fun and can take you to the botanic gardens and a restaurant / coffee shop. A variety of beautiful walks are within minutes reach. Plus you are near major supermarkets, retail district and most of the great things Ballarat has to offer! Enjoy.
What makes this property unique
The home is newly renovated with a great size kitchen, large bedroom and beautiful Frame Art Smart TVs. It is spotlessly clean and not too large or too small. Just right! Everything in it is brand new - from beds to linen to kettles, to plates to cooking utensils. The home has 6 beds and makes the price totally affordable.
