Dunstans Guest House, hotel in Ballarat

Set among lovely gardens, Dunstans Guest House offers accommodations featuring a spa bath and cozy fireplace. Guests can relax outdoors on the patio.

We were surprised by the whole set up. Not sure what we were expecting really but it was so well set out, spotlessly clean and really homely. A place you walked into and felt immediately comfortable - so good when you’ve travelled a long way.

    The King bed was amazing. Location is excellent. Just out of the main centre of town. You could walk into town and 800 metres from Soverein Hill. Great to have a large master bedroom with new ensuite bathroom. And the abiliity to use kitchen and laundry. Kevin is a lovely host and I enjoyed staying in his home as a solo female traveller.

    Very clean and tidy. Great facilities in the room and beds really comfortable. The Asian restaurant was also excellent with great menu and service was fantastic. You do need to book as it is very popular with the locals.

    Lovely neutral toned, spacious motel suite. Being the middle of winter in Ballarat, the heater was amazingly powerful. The management and staff were lovely and I felt right at home staying here. The guest laundry was great and very handy after travelling for a few days.
