Helen's Homestead

Leon is a wonderful warm and friendly host. The home is beautifully and tastefully decorated bed with real down cover was tops .and the fire at night topped it off. Id definitely recommend.

Only an hour from Melbourne and it's a different world. The bed was so comfy I wanted to take it with me. The property was warm and clean. We will be returning as soon as possible. And Enfield state park is a hidden gem.

The best accommodation I have ever stayed at in my life. I was hesitant at first because this place is so cheap but I didnt need to be. Leon runs the homestead singlehandedly and yet manages to be such a warm and kind host, truly goes above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable, fed, and happy. I saw a review that mentioned there was no hot water, we notified Leon and he fixed it straight away! Please try and tell him if you have any complaints rather than posting a bad review and not saying anything to him, I would hate for a bad review to impact his livelihood. The house is spotlessly clean and the beds and chairs are so comfortable, the breakfast spread is delicious and fresh every morning. All the guests that stay here seem so lovely, don't be afraid to strike up a conversation and make a few new friends.Also, just a note about transport: there's no PT that comes out to the area so either bring/rent a car, take a taxi or send Leon a text as he is more than happy to provide a lift (another testament to his beautiful personality!)Thank you again Leon for making this trip so wonderful. If I ever find myself in Ballarat again, I won't stay anywhere but Helen's Homestead ❤

This was a wonderful weekend away. Spontaneous and adventurous. Leon (host) was a dear soul and breaky was Yummo. Will definitely return.

Just 20 km south of Ballerat. Great and not expensive . Great room and use of all area's, incl bbq

Helen's Homestead was a delightful stay. The place was spotless and very comfortable. Lounge had a wood fire with plenty of furniture to relax in.Leong was a stellar host managing to be super helpful.The breakfast spread was an OMG moment (see pic) - don't think anything wasnt available. Leong had even put on fresh coffee for me too.The location may not be to everyone's taste but its exactly what I was looking for and I will more than likely be back.Mark

My daughter Indiana 15, my son Ryder 12 and I stayed here last night while visiting in Ballarat and we loved it. Leon was very warm and accomodating in his beautiful clean home. Surrounding garden and chooks were a treat too!I love making memories like this with my kids, will hopefully revisit againJanine Bechaz

Loved our stay here, great host and very comfortable.

We have stayed twice now this year and want to keep returning. A truly wonderful 'home-away-from-home' as it were, hosts Leon and Helen are super welcoming. The house is stunning, with lovely sitting areas both inside and outside, and the breakfasts are superb!

Wonderful place to stay, quiet and clean.Leon was very friendly and approachable.It was the start of winter and he had a lovely open fire for me to curl up in front of.Breakfast was varied and tasty.Will be going back.
