Ballarat Accommodation for Xmas

Seriously,.....so I was out shopping the other day and guess what was in the supermarket?  TINSEL!!! You would think they would have the decency to wait until at least the Financial year was over. So it got me thinking that Xmas will be here before you know it and that also means......SCHOOL HOLIDAYS!!!!.........Don't wait till the last minute and risk everything being booked out? A day trip to Sovereign Hill or a fabulous night at Blood on the Southern Cross. We have great shopping and the whole family will love the Wildlife Park. Get in early and call now to book your Ballarat Accommodation. We have Suites for the singles, couples, corporates and families (even the larger ones).

Dinner and Drinks and Opera (Oh my)

Now, to be honest, I'm not the greatest Opera buff in the world, but I know there are a lot of you out there who are no strangers to this ancient and most loved world of theatrics. One of the most popular Operas of all time is @ Her Majestys Theatre on Sat. June 30th....Of course I'm talking about 'Carmen' (Bizet's best known opera). So I was thinking, why don't you book in to our Award winning Restaurant for dinner before you head off to the Opera, and when it's over pop back over for a night cap? For those of you who are out of towners, make a weekend of it and book your Ballarat accommodation in our 4 star Motel. Can't guarantee I will see you there, but I will definately see you back here....
