Fantastic property with a fabulous host. Everything you could want for a Daylesford getaway. Really well equipped kitchen, local produce for breakfast to greet you. A cozy, wam house full of comfortable spaces with views of a beautiful garden through every window. Close to town and the lake for a walk. Thoroughly recommend.

Querky decorations and a little bit dusty in places. The lack of a separate shower was a bit of a drawback. Otherwise had everything you need.

Such a lovely home, lovely touches through out. A coffee machine would’ve been nice. Bath was a little difficult with the hand held shower.. but otherwise location and house was perfect.

This cottage was everything and more than we expected! The attention to detail, the coziness and period charm won us over as soon as we arrived. We would definitely stay again! It was just what we needed in the middle of this dreary Melbourne winter. Thank-you for sharing this beautiful space with us. Xx
