Check-in was appalling with other guests receiving upgrades and it being made known. Receptionist saw me arrive first but helped group while I waited for 15mins. Room was tiny and for the money was pretty plain, would be kinda more like 3 star room... bed comfy and clean though.

Whether you want something fancy or low key, there's plenty of choice here. lastminute.com.au has 35 amazing digs all within 5 kilometres of Ballarat's centre.

Avoid FOMO and check out the scene at the Craig's Royal Hotel and the Lake Wendouree Luxury Apartments on Webster. Both are right in the heart of Ballarat. The Quest Ballarat and the Best Western Plus Ballarat Suites are also worth a gander.

If you enjoy furry, fuzzy and feathered critters, be sure to check out Ballarat Wildlife Park. Location, location, location! Book a room at the Bakery Hill Motel and Comfort Inn & Suites City Views and you won't be far from it. Eureka Hall is an impressive, iconic structure which has been well maintained. If you'd rather chill out near this attraction, suss out the Quality Inn & Suites The Menzies and Comfort Inn Main Lead.

You might also like to try The Sebel Creswick Forest Resort, which is situtated 13 kilometres away. Or maybe the RACV Goldfields Resort, just a distance of 13 kilometres from Ballarat. If those options aren't your cup of tea, you might prefer to go with the Lake Inn Ballarat or the Quality Inn The George Hotel Ballarat.

After more options? Hole up like a rockstar in Sailors Falls (just try not to wreck the joint). Sitting 30 kilometres away and home to Daylesford Sunday Market and the Wombat Hill Botanic Gardens, it's sure to be an adventure to remember! The Abelia Cottage of Daylesford Botanical and Daylesford by the Lake Cute&Cosy Studio are some of the hotel options here. 35 kilometres to the northeast of Ballarat you can also stay at Daylesford, home to the Peppers Mineral Springs Hotel and Hotel Frangos. Should you choose to stay in Daylesford, be sure to visit Mt Franklin and the Convent Gallery.

Ever had to spend a night on the hard airport floor cos you got too excited and forgot to make a hotel booking? Save yourself a cricked neck and snag a room at the PARKROYAL Melbourne Airport or the Holiday Inn Melbourne Airport. Both aren't far from Tullamarine Airport, which is 90 kilometres from the centre of town.
