The new rooms here are lovely but the older courtyard room we had on this second trip was outdated and needed a deep clean. Beds were comfortable but bathroom needs a facelift or a really good clean and has no heating so is absolutely freezing.

On arrival, it appeared that perhaps there was a debut ball in one of the function rooms. Once we obtained our key and made our way to the room, we could see how big the property actually was. Being near the back of the property, there was no noise from the function, traffic or anyone else on the property. The rooms were lovely and clean, and very modern, but the hallways and the entrance to the hallway could use some work. Also the car park area for our room was quiet a distance from the room we were staying in, and inconvenient for carrying luggage to the room; particularly when you have several things to transfer. Only for the king bed, the bathroom and the quiet, I will be back again - and hopefully to the same back area of the property where I can sleep easily.

The rooms a quite different at this place. I’ve stayed 3 times at a good rate. So I gave it 5 stars for the price. Some things did not work in the rooms mainly the tv and internet but I will say the first room I stayed in was working fine.but it did smell water damaged. Don’t expect perfection unless you pay for it, overall it’s one of the best places I’ve stayed in Ballarat.

Overall we had a great stay. Staff were excellent and the price was very reasonable. The bathroom in the unit we stayed in however was very very old and whilst it appeared mostly clean the shower curtain and chair require urgent replacement as they were in poor condition and dirty.

The external property is gorgeous. The restaurant was fabulous for dinner. The light from the carpark keeps you awake at night. The house keeping was as expected which would only get noticed if you stayed longer than a day or two. Highly recommend a visit to the Sanctuary Day Spa.
