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.

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.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected. Conveniences include a desk and a microwave, and housekeeping is provided on a limited basis.

Can hear noise from traffic expected on a main highway
If you Went modern forget this one, if you want old and comfy this is it! Kitchen cupboard door needs attention and need a frypan. If you are very tall and wider than average shower may be to small.Overall we liked this place, would stay again. Big yards well. Place was comfortable oveall
