A stunning hotel has just opened in the heart of Ballarat. And if the feature walls in a range of mesmerising shades - from cerulean blues to rust reds - don't take your breath away, the striking artworks and deep soaking bathtubs should.
Housed in a 19th-century mansion with a historic exposed-brick facade, Hotel Vera is home to just seven suites, each decked up in a different colour palette - moss green in one, placid grey in the other.
Irrespective of which room you choose, a few creature comforts are guaranteed: king beds with plush linen, spacious ensuites with designer amenities, gourmet breakfast featuring hyper-regional produce and - our favourite - a personal check-in service, without queues or desks.
Just don't forget to explore the historic Victorian town while you're there. Lose track of time at the Art Gallery of Ballarat among renowned Australian artworks or go for a wander in the lush Botanical Gardens.
