About this villa rental

Texada is a property conceived, designed, built and operated by well known Daylesford artists.

The buzz of our personality-laden retreat greets you with surprises at every turn. Texada blends natural beauty with contemporary design.As artist Marc Chagall said “Great art picks up where nature ends.”.

Texada is filled with thoughtful contradictions and a playful intersection of old and new.

Watch the native bird-life swoop through the trees as you relax in the heated outdoor hot tub on your deck within a private garden scattered with sculpture. Texada is located on a bird transit route and is renowned for the species of birds the property supports.

This inspired space will tempt you to extend your visit

Communication between myself and host was fantastic. Property was cute but could do with some improvements. Complimentary drinks were not provided and was told it wasnt a special occasion. If you dont mind possums banging on the roof nightly you will be ok. The town surrounding the property is behind in the times but overall it was very relaxing.

The property is close to town centre and overall good. With little upgrades it can easily become great. The roof is made of metal sheets and birds over night are disturbing. This can be easily fix with some birds spikes from bunnings. It would also be great if the TV s will have chromcast or apple TV or wifi.

My partner and I were looking for an out of the way place where we could rest before start the new year running. The property we stayed in gave us the privacy and peace we needed to recoup from a hectic year and concentrate on ourselves. Situated in beautiful central Victoria, the location gave us a chance to explore this magnificent state and visit area we would otherwise avoid.

We had a great time staying at Texada Art Retreat, we ended up forgoing visiting the hot springs because we were having such a good time relaxing in the hot tub at the property! After a stressful few weeks working, this was just what we needed to unwind. Would highly recommend the property - close to everything you need in town, very clean and easy to find/check in. We hope to stay again!

Loved our stay! The only grimaces we had were the bed wasn’t properly made on arrival & there was sand in the clothes iron provided, but only minor things. We would love to stay again!

Cosy getaway

Communication with the property managers was prompt and helpful. The space itself was on the smaller side but still very functional, it is fitted out with heaters and electric blankets so staying warm wasn’t an issue, the location is good and we followed recommendations from the owners to take a nearby trail which made for a really nice walk in nature while exploring local history, would definitely recommend. The hot tub was also probably the main selling point to this accomodation and it did not let us down as it was constantly hot and ready to go. The downsides to the stay were very minimal but I will write to inform future visitors + the owners: the kitchen isn’t exactly made for cooking but does have all the necessary accessories to prepare basic food, I will suggest bringing a bread knife if thats your thing, we picked up a special loaf from the Sunday Market and struggled with the knives at the house. We also found it wasn't as private as we expected when initially booking, the owners did inform us that the property has two other cottages, and although they are pretty far apart, the trees surrounding the hot tub where we stayed are deciduous so there were no leaves on them during our stay and we could easily see others around and they could see us if used during the day, there isn’t really fencing separating the property either, at one point there was a dog in out backyard area while we in the hot tub. The booking also said there would be drinks on arrival but there was not. I didn’t follow any of these up with the owners during the stay as we were quite busy coming in and out to explore the local area, again not major issues, but potentially some things that could be done better in the future. Overall great stay, and would recommend it to anyone staying in Daylesford for a few days.

Disappointed

Disappointed

Is a very clean little place but was very disappointed as the discription of this property is false. It does not back on to wombat state forest it backs onto someone back yard ( forest can be seen if you climb a tree and look a kilometre into the distance. The large plasma tv is not large at all is only the size of tv you would have on kitchen bench and gate leading to private back yard is broken and can't be used. After calling owner to complain that there was no drinks on arrival as promised plus all the other list of things wrong I was told they don't have a maintence man so pretty much bad luck and if look in the distance you can see forest. Was really excited for this little get away with my husband and new born baby but left feeling disappointed and stooged.
