Lake Inn is a lovely motel. Impeccably clean, quality furnishings, very comfortable bed and huge rooms. We had a good meal at the City Oval Hotel which adjoins Lake Inn. Perfect on a cold Ballarat night !

Lovely accommodation near the lake.
We booked a spacious one bedroom apartment. Kitchen was great. The weather was cold but plenty of heaters were provided. There was some traffic noise, so double glazing would be a good addition. Staff were polite and friendly.
