Llanfyllin House was built as a wedding gift for the daughter of a prominent local businessman & politician in the late 1800's, and this beautiful 3 bedroom villa reflects the prosperity of goldrush good fortune.
Located 90 minutes from Melbourne, the residence is centrally located to all of Ballarat's major tourist attractions, vibrant food & wine scene and is surrounded by parks & nature walks.

About the host
Hosted by Jo Powell
I am a stylist, author, musician & history lover. Using my nationally awarded styling skills, I have created a space where guests come to relax, unwind & step back in time, to when life was simpler. I count myself as blessed to be just the fourth custodian of this exquisite home and am looking forward to sharing its story & this pretty city with those who come to stay at Llanfyllin House or be married at Ballarat Marriage Registry.
Why they chose this property
Golden Point is Ballarat's oldest suburb and this beautiful home was built during the height of the goldrush by a prominent local businessman & politician, reflecting all the spoils that were possible as a result of the gold rush.
Having had only 3 previous owners, the home remains largely as it was originally built and has been painstakingly furnished true to the era, so that guests may have a more immersive experience of what it was like to live in Ballarat at that time - right down to the chickens in the backyard.
To ensure guest comfort, modern conveniences have not been overlooked but have been added as discretely as possible
