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!

Beautiful cottage by the lake
Lovely property with stunning view from the deck of the lake. Well appointed kitchen and the most comfortable lounges I have ever sat on! If your 6'3 like me just watch out for the door way to the kitchen, cracked my head a few times! Tony was great to deal with also

Beautiful cottage, stunningly styled. They provide everything you need and more. We loved looking out onto the lake through the floor to ceiling windows on a cold rainy day whilst reading a book on the couch.

Perfect location, charming house
Beautifully situated on Daylesford lake, cosy and charmingly decorated home, back gate straight onto the walking track, short walk to the main street...the only downside was that we didn't stay for longer! Would definitely stay here again.

Heaven
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!
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
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!
