About this house rental
Perriman cottage is a rustic cottage only a 5 minute walk from the town centre. With bars, cafes, and a variety of restaurants close by, you needn't worry about who the designated driver will be after dinner and drinks!
The cottage offers 3 bedrooms, one with a king sized bed and split system, one with a bunk (queen size bed on the bottom and king single on top), and one bedroom with a king single.
The space
Named after the original title holder John Perriman, the cottage will please those who don't mind rustic charm. The original part of the house was built in 1864 and makes up the current kitchen and master bedroom. The front part was added around 1900. We have tried to keep as many of the original features as possible without modernising it too much. The timber wall paneling and timber lined ceilings are original, as well as the doors. The floorboards needed to be changed, however some salvageable ones from the original part of the house now make up the kitchen table and counter top. It's also worth highlighting that the bathtub contains some rust staining however it has been acid washed and is clean.
The cottage is connected to NBN and guests have access to wi-fi and TV with Netflix, along with all digital channels. Please note that the indoor wood oven and open fireplace have been decommissioned as they longer function properly (they smoke the house up). The backyard is large with a firepit and paved area with a simple outdoor setting to enjoy al-fresco dining.
What we love about this cottage is not only its 157 year history, but also the convenient location to all that makes the area great, the ability to see amazing stars at night, the large backyard space, and the crazy cockatoos! Bring along some wild bird seed, place it in the front yard and at around 3-4pm watch them flock as they pass over the house.

My two teens and I stayed at Perriman Cottage and absolutely loved it! The cottage’s history was fascinating and it’s been so beautifully restored. We really loved its charm and the HUGE backyard, as well as its proximity to central Daylesford. Jeff was a wonderful host and the cottage was thoroughly clean and well appointed. Would definitely stay here again.
