“An absolutely gorgeous house in fantastic location. Jo is a very thoughtful and generous host. The highlight for me was the comfort of the beds and the pure linen bedding. Really luxurious. There are a lot of rooms in the house, most of which we didn’t use, but our short stay in Ballarat was made more enjoyable for staying here. ”

“Lovely house worthy of a stay to experience a time gone by. Very comfortable beds with beautiful linen. Appreciated hydronic heating in a very chilly February - yes February! Dog was made welcome. On a main road not too far from Sovereign Hill and a good walk into the centre of town. We loved it.”

“Absolutely delightful house in a nice neighbourhood. We loved the old furnishings, had great fun with the old games, piano and magazines. All the mod-cons were incorporated without spoiling the old-style atmosphere. Great location for exploring Sovereign Hill and other sites, also there's a lovely local cafe 200m up the road. Comfy beds and spacious rooms. The backyard chooks were a bit of fun, and fresh eggs a bonus. We stayed on some hot days and the lounge areas kept pretty cool. One bedroom has aircon and the other got warm but not hot. Kitchen area does heat up (air con wasn't working properly, but I believe that will be fixed). We like to self cater and the kitchen had a slightly tricky layout due to keeping the modern equipment partially hidden. There were somewhat limited cooking implements. But it was adequate enough. Overall one of my favourite AirBnB stays, host was easy to communicate with, and I'd definitely recommend to friends.Thank you again for allowing us to stay in your gorgeous home, we will be back.!”

“Beautifull old home, restored and presented really well. Heritage and convenience blended well. Lots of extras to make the stay special, well stocked larder and frig. Enjoyed the free range eggs and baby enjoyed watching the hens. Walking distance to shops and coffee shops. Interesting heritage area and close to Sovereign Hill. Jo communicated well and always prompt, was happy to make changes as requested which we appreciated. Only very small things to remedy. The kitchen and sunroom would be hot in summer with no blinds or curtains. Would be fantastic in winter thou. We enjoyed our stay and happy to recommend. Encouraging to see a beautiful old home restored and available for others !”

“We felt at home as soon as we walked in. The house is just beautiful and with so many things to keep us busy we did not turn on the TV once.
Jo has 3 chickens who gave us really yummy eggs everyday and we felt very spoilt. The house has so many rooms! Jo provided the little things that made us feel very much at home, from the handwash to the body wash and many things in between which were the best quality and very nice to use.
Thank you again for allowing us to stay in your gorgeous home, we will be back.!”

“Such a lovely stay, with a stunning traditional feeling.
The rooms were so beautiful and comfortable and the detail of fine linen bedding and bath towels against the heaters was such a lovely touch. The house was warm with hydronic heating set before we arrived which was lovely on a 10 degree Ballarat day, which is a lovely touch.
We loved our stay, and will defiantly be back. The only constructive criticism we have is some more seating in the lounge room.
Thankyou Jo!”

“We loved the house and its styling, felt authentic and well-cared-for. The check in was easy, Jo was very responsive and gave us all the info we would need for our stay. The hydronic heating was amazingly quick and efficient. It was wonderful having a working fireplace and we made good use of it. There was a varied array of spirits and wines available (we didn't need any), teas and fresh milk and butter which were a nice touch. The linens were lovely quality and felt plush. A quick walk to the Grapes Hotel was a great find - good food at reasonable prices. The only small negative is that the location can be noisy for sleeping as the house is on a corner and the bedroom window is right beside the street - it had been raining heavily which might have made the cars noisier than they would be when it's not raining. We would stay again (it would be fun to collect some eggs from the resident chooks for breakfast) and recommend it to anyone wanting a quality heritage-style getaway.”

“Jo & The Llanfyllin House Team are the most professional hosts I’ve had the pleasure of interacting with on AirBnb.
We had various unforeseen changes to our booking and Jo’s impeccable communication and understanding meant that it was handled with ease. Our group thought very highly of the accommodation, and we have no hesitation in recommending Llanfyllin House for a stay when in Ballarat.”

“We had an amazing time at Llanfyllin House.
We felt like we transported back in time whilst still having a very comfortable stay. We loved all the little homely touches and considered things like the blankets for our dog.
Jo is very friendly and communication was great and made us feel welcome and at home. We would definitely stay again and recommend to our family and friends..”

“Fabulously atmospheric period house. Just oodles of wonderful little touches everywhere, from the period furnishings, books and hilarious society gossip magazines from yesteryear, games, piano, chooks, and (needed for period homes) cosy hydronic heating.”
