Historic Linton Post Office

Welcome to the Historic Linton Post Office. This beautiful character filled building was built in 1880 and is situated in the centre of the quaint township of Linton in Western Victoria.

Linton is a picturesque old goldfields town located approximately 25 minutes west of Ballarat and 2 hour drive from Melbourne.

The Post Office is in a great location with easy access to the Skipton Rail Trail and Goldfields Track and a short drive to neighbouring country towns of western Victoria.

The Post Office has been converted from its original purpose into a comfortable three bedroom and two living area home that can comfortably accommodate 8 guests.

Two bedrooms have queen sized beds and the third bedroom has a single bed plus a bunk bed (the bottom bunk is a double and top bunk is a single).
All beds have electric blankets, pillows and linen provided.

A range of activities are supplied to be enjoyed in the spacious living area during your country getaway: books, movies, board games or choose to just relaxing by the open fire.
The kitchen and dining room area have all the comforts of home. Fully stocked pantry with ample breakfast items and ingredients to make a meal on your first night is provided and can be enjoyed by the slow combustion heater. A fully equipped kitchen and bbq area wo t disappoint.

Great Little Gem in Country Victoria

If you're looking for a little slice of country Victoria that combines the comfort of modern-day accommodation with a touch of nostalgia, this old Post Office is a hidden gem. Perfect for anyone in search of a peaceful getaway, it offers more than just a place to sleep, it offers an experience, one that lets you step back in time while still enjoying the comforts of today.

Historic and homely

We loved our stay here, my first impressions were of how clean the place was, it really felt clean. The Historic Linton Post Office combines a lovely historic home with all the modern day requirements for comfort without ruining its appeal and character.We loved the fire in the kitchen.Having some provisions for breakfast, milk, coffee, (good coffee), and a biscuit available made our trip much easier and we could just get on with enjoying our time.The lounges were comfortable as was the bed and we had the best sleep here.Thanks to Denise for maintaining this lovely place and sharing it with us.

Lovely property in a quiet and pretty town

The Linton post office is a spacious and beautifully presented accomodation. The bedrooms were cosy (we needed the electric blankets) and the wood heater kept us warm and happy in the dining room. The town is very quiet and presents a welcome chance to walk and admire wildlife and farm Animals. This was a really lovely place to stay.

Charming country stop over

Beautifully renovated with excellent amenities. Host was amazing giving recommendations for places to eat and how to easily locate. The childrens room was set up perfectly with toys for them to play with which they loved. Would definitely stay again on future road trips. Perfectly located not far from Ballarat.

Excellent

Just a wonderful relaxing place to stay for both you and your pets. Its a real gem of a find!Denise has thought of everything that you could possibly require. The walking trails are so easy to access especially when travelling with dogs. Linton it self is such a lovely village and the locals are so friendly. Ballarat is an easy 20 mins drive away. I would definitely recommend the Historic Linton Post Office for anyone to stay at. I hope to return soon. Thank you again Denise for a wonderful stay.
