We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Skye House. The house was extremely comfortable and meticulously presented. Our host thought of everything that we could possibly need to make our stay enjoyable. The location is perfect, easy to walking into town or the numerous cafes around Lake Wendouree. Without a doubt we will be back. Thanks

Brilliant centrally located pet friendly house
Skye House more than met up to expectations based on the description in Stayz. Communication with Geraldine was easy and responsive. She is extremely generous with what is provided for guests (including our furry friends), particularly in relation to what’s in the pantry and fridge. The house is in a very convenient location and is surrounded by other renovated and lovely houses. It was well heated, and beautifully appointed; very comfortable with several sitting areas; secure for our dogs, and Geraldine had left throws for the couches, and a towel to ensure the dogs were clean and dry when inside. We were sorry to leave, and will book again when we are in Ballarat.
