Rodney and Denise are excellent hosts. Their home is very welcoming ,charming and was perfect for our getaway. The views from the home both inside and out on the deck were gorgeous. There are multiple levels with little nooks to settle in with a good book with beautiful views. The home was full of character and had everything we needed. Heating was available both by ducted gas or you can have an open fire. Beautiful walks are available at the back door around the lake. We would definitely go back again . Thank you Rodney and Denise.

Right on the lake and not too far from town. Cottage has everything you could ask for. Owners are close by and so very helpful with tips for cafes and restaurants etc. Loved my stay the first time and didn't hesitate to book it again. Thank you, Rodney and Denise, for a wonderful stay.

The property was absolutely lovely. The location overlooking the lake was fantastic. We only stayed for two nights but hopefully will return for a longer stay in the future. (It was also perfect for our fur baby❤️).

This is the second time we have stayed at Lake Daylesford Cottage we love it so much. The position is right on the lake with wonderful views into the distance. The house is extremely comfortable with everything you could possibly need for a short or long stay - it feels like our home away from home & we can’t wait to return.

Three of us went to Daylesford for three nights. The home was cosy and beautifully clean and all three beds were wonderfully comfortable . We were warm as toast and everything we needed was there. Location with views of the lake was spectacular, and a coffee shop just down the hill. Thank you so much.

We adored Rodney and Denise’s property. It had the most perfect lake side location with direct access to the walk around the lake. The views from the deck in the morning were sublime and the rooms were all beautifully decorated. It truly was a wonderful home and even better than the photos! Rodney and Denise were excellent hosts and easy to communicate with throughout. Would highly recommend and we hope to stay again!

A great getaway and a return visit to one of our favourite spots on the lake at Daylesford. 'Lake Daylesford Cottage' is a perfect location to enjoy the peace and beauty of the area but close enough to the town to also enjoy the cafes and shops. This is our fourth visit to this cottage I think, and we hope to return again later this year. Highly recommended.

All was very good except the beds they are all very uncomfortable, too lumpy, too hard. I would have expected a coffee machine - at least a POD machine. We stay in many AirB&B’s or Stayz and most have coffee machines. Great property with views of the lake and nice lawn running down to the walking track that circles the lake.

This property was was the perfect place for our annual girls weekend. Location is stunning, beds comfy, kitchen has everything you need for meal prep and so many books! The hosts left a list of local places to check out (we didn’t get to them all but gave it a good go) and easy to communicate with. We have booked again for next year we loved it so much!

A lovely place to stay, warm and cosy, with a very homey feel. We three ladies had a fabulous weekend, even though it was foggy, damp and a bit cold out.

I couldn't fault this property. Very smooth check in and out process. The cottage itself is so beautiful, the lake views are perfect. Having the open fire during winter was great. The cottage has all the amenities you require. Clean rooms and a spacious ensuite! Our dog had a lovely time, the spacious fenced backyard was perfect for him. Walking distance to local shops and walking tracks, including the lake circuit. Good options of books and DVDs for entertainment. Would happily stay again!

We have stayed at this cottage on a number of occasions and love the view of the lake - it has direct access to the lake walking track and is also only a short walk to the lake coffee shop - we travel with our dog so the large backyard is perfect for it to play in - we hope to return again in the future.

Lakeside dream

Lakeside dream

Beautiful tranquil pet friendly cottage. Comfortable bed, very cozy & homey cottage. Amazing location. Only cons were poor mobile reception and lack of internet reception on the phone around the lake area compounded by that there is no wifi at the property. Whilst i do not feel a smart TV is necessary for a holiday, a non faulty one is....channel/source mode constantly jumps spontaneously which made watching the Australian Open finals very difficult as the TV would do its own thing & we couldnt change the channel back or keep it steady on the one channel. However the hosts were very good with communication and helpful. Rodney & Denise made the place very welcoming & thoughtful so am sure the TV issue will not be a hard issue to rectify in the future. Our pooches had a glorioua time which so direct access for beautiful walks. We had a lovely time & would look forward to rebooking.
