What a great place located at everything, especially the pub, a few metres away. I never met a staff member face to face when checking in. However, upon arrival, Elysia from Newington Apartment sent a courtesy SMS with instructions on how to check into the apartment. It was easy to follow. The room is clean and spacious. I love the bed, how comfortable it is, and the quality use of the bedding. This property is close to Sovereign Hill, so we booked this apartment. This place has a decent kitchenette if you want to cook a meal, a small fridge with a dishwasher, and a nice bathroom with a rainwater shower head. It has good water pressure and is very spacious.

All minor things: With the bathroom, it would be nice if there was bench space that you could pull out if needed. Finding space to hang your clothes or where to place them was a bit difficult. Maybe more hooks can be added, too. The couch had cigarette holes, and the dining table was damaged on the surface. The fridge door was slightly damaged as well, too.

Good size for two adults and two children, overall is new and clean. We stayed for two nights and rubbish bin was emptied and beds remade in between. I slept well in here, (I am not easy to sleep well in many hotels) the bed was comfortable. Very good value for money and close to all the main places and restaurants.

The water tab in kitchen is loose but not affected us much.

We requested early check in and they were very accommodating to this. We loved that we were able to check in and out without meeting face to face with reception, made for a really seamless process. Beds were very comfortable as well! We would definitely recommend people stay here.

For what we were looking for, I can't fault anything. We had a very comfortable sleep here.

Great location and wonderful facilities with ease of access.

Our designated parking bay was taken by someone else so we moved in to the next one. This caused issue as we had taken someone else’s park, which caused major issues and embarrassment for us at a wedding! It actually ruined our evening. I would recommend instead of numbered bays - the car parks are just labelled ‘reserved for Newington Apartments’.

The double Queen room we booked offered plenty of space for us with our 2 children. Kitchen facilities were great. Central location with short drive to Ballarat Central and Sovereign Hill. Modern facilities. Clean room and very helpful host. Pub across from the apartments for meals is also convenient.

The only recommendation I could make would be some warmer bedding for the winter months. The temperature was down to 2 degrees before sunrise on the night we stayed and the bedding really wasn’t equipped for a warm sleep in those temperatures. We looked for additional blankets in the cupboards but there weren’t any.

A beautiful, freshly refurbished studio. I spent one night there as I was visiting my friends. It looks nice. The bathroom is large and lux. The bed is comfy and the TV is opposite the bed. There is a seating area and even a dining table. In terms of desigh - 5 stars.

The property is at the back of a pub. There is a little terrace at the pub and a playground for children. There was noise until 11:30pm. The noise began at about 8am when children got up and began to play in the playground again. I think if you want a restful weekend, this is not the place but if you have an event in the city and you intend to come in late, and if you have children who will wake up early, then a great place to stay.

Loved the location and ease of finding it just off the main road, Quiet and having meals available next door is always a plus after a big day out. The two beds is a bonus allowing a restful night sleep as we are used to king size at home.

This is the second time here and we did notice that the carpets are looking a little worn now. Could do with a refresh soon but this won’t prevent us from staying again

Great location, contact was very helpful and came back to me quickly. Spacious room and clean.

The beds had skylights above them, odd if a guest wanted to sleep in. Minor issue though. Carpet was quite stained, but hard to avoid as ut was a lighter colour.

Newly built, spacious and great location! Opposite is a fantastic restaurant which makes it easy for dinner option. Lovely Hampton’s style decor with modern appliances. The bathroom was a luxury escape, the heat lamp helped with warming the floor tiles on a cold night. Great air-conditioner/heater. Netflix in the room was a bonus.

We did unfortunately hear something in the ceiling (possibly a mouse/rat). Would be nice to have a detachable shower head as an option. Unfortunately with the overhead rain shower you have to get your hair wet.

The room was modern and clean. Access by remote message was easy. Very quiet location, close to the lake. Nice bathroom and comfortable bed.

Nothing. It was great for 2 nights.
