We just loved this cottage and it was beautifully appointed with everything anyone could need. A perfect position, with a view over the lake and the walking track right out the back. Very warm and cosy for a gorgeous winter getaway. I would highly recommend it and we plan to go back again when the weather warms up.

Perfect for a weekend getaway

I’ve stayed at this property 3 times now. Twice with a group of friends and once with my partner. Each time I visit the cottage I have an amazing time. It is beautifully furnished and backs onto the lake. I couldn’t have asked for a better location. It’s only a short walk to the town centre where there are plenty of great restaurants and cafes. I can not rate Waterside Cottage highly enough!

The house is right on the lake and I can’t really describe how beautiful the property and decor is- it’s a very special place. It’s obvious that Tony and Jenny spent a lot of time and energy thinking about making it a home with such delightful little touches like Aesop hand soap, Dyson fans, DVDs and books galore, picnic blanket, candles (the list is endless). There was also a lot of treats awaiting us to snack on.

Home away from home!

Home away from home!

Beautifully appointed accommodation at a spectacular location overlooking the lake - absolutely EVERYTHING we could possibly need was right there at our fingertips. And the beds … SO comfortable! Leave your hectic lifestyle at the front door and be sure to pack your walking shoes - one step out of the back gate and you're on the walking track around the most beautiful lake. Highly recommend Waterside Cottage.

Gorgeous Cottage with Lake views

Gorgeous Cottage with Lake views

We loved this cosy cottage. It had a beautiful uninterrupted view from the back deck. Fully equipped kitchen made it easy to self cater. Short walk to the main shops in Daylesford and even closer to the independent supermarket Tonnas. We enjoyed walking around the lake and surrounds. The owner was really friendly and approachable. Highly recommended!
