LAM001 · Cosy California Bungalow in Ararat, Grampians

Located in Ararat, this fully renovated Californan Bunglaow still shows the original features of the property, with a fantastic extension to suit families and groups.

At the front of the property is a large bedroom, a parents retreat and formal dining area. The extension includes a modernised kitchen and large open plan living space. There are another 3 large bedrooms at the back of the property. In total this property sleeps 7 people.

Enjoy comfy couches inside or retreat outside to the undercover BBQ area. Wander through the lovely garden and see what is growing!

Take on other guests in a game of pool or table tennis, or enjoy a quiet moment to read or write.

This property is located within walking distance of all of Ararat's attractions and also the main street.
By booking this property, you're agreeing to our simple house rules—nothing wild, just the essentials to keep everyone happy and the space sparkling for the next guests! Please review the agreement in your guest portal and house guides (digital & print)

House Rules
To ensure a pleasant stay for everyone, please follow these guidelines:
Be Nice: Treat our staff and contractors like the rockstars they are.
Smoking: Allowed only outdoors, away from doors and windows. Don’t worry, the plants won’t mind.
No Firearms: Leave your slingshots and cannons at home.
No Fireworks: Because we don’t want your holiday to end with a bang (literally).
No Illegal Activities: We’re not running a crime drama here.
Keep It Down: Channel your inner ninja and keep noise levels reasonable.
Guest Limit: Only the number of guests listed in the booking can stay overnight. No sneaky sleepovers.
No Parties: Let’s keep it cosy, not crazy.
Pets: Only dogs are allowed at our properties, and only with prior approval. Check the listing for specific pet rules—Fido deserves a holiday too, but only if we've given the green light!

Upon Check-Out
Dishes: Wash and put away. Pretend you’re at home and your mum is watching.
Turn Off: All lights, heaters, and coolers. Help us save the planet.
Pet Cleanup: Don’t leave us any surprises.
Clean BBQ: If you used it, give it a scrub. We love a good BBQ, but not the cleanup.
Trash: Put it in the correct bins outside. Channel your inner recycling guru.
Linens: Don’t wash them. Seriously, we’ve got it covered.
If these rules are broken, we may have to cancel your stay with no refund. We really don’t want to do that.

Spacious house with everything you need, close to town. Lots of cobwebs in outdoor entertainment area. Loud at night time as it is on the main highway and a train line.
