Beautiful property - the perfect Daylesford getaway.

Such a beautiful property, no expense spared. Felt very homely.

Lack of curtains/blinds around the house. The front of the property that faces the road has shutters, however nothing to cover the glass door, which defeats the purpose of the shutters as you can still see right in from the road. Felt a little bit eerie like someone was watching at night. Also need instructions for the spa.

It was nice but unfortunately not exactly what we were expecting for the price point.

The house was beautiful, clean and had lots of comforts.

The advertisement and pictures are very misleading. As we were two couples travelling together we were after a 2 bathroom property, which is what The Orchard is advertised as. We were very disappointed to discover on our arrival the property is in fact one complete bathroom located downstairs with two bedrooms upstairs and the second ‘bathroom’ was DETACHED from the house consisting of only a spa bath and toilet. I feel it’s very misleading to advertise this property as two bathroom given the location and lack of shower in the second bathroom. It was a lovely property but didn’t accurately accommodate our needs for a 2 bathroom property. It was also very disappointing that on our 2nd night and only full day at the property we had no power from 4am to 11am, this was very disruptive and very unpleasant as what was meant to be a lazy cozy morning at this property was not possible as we had no power and were unable to even make a basic cup of coffee or toast at the house. This was also very disappointing and dampened our stay.

It felt like a beautiful movie set location

The whole vibe of this place was just correct. The vinyl records was so much fun to go through

Even though the refrigerator is a total vibe, the freezer space was tiny and I really struggled. If you had a couple of before and you are there for the weekend for drinks, you need to have an esky for your eyes because all you can fit is one bag of ice in the freezer and nothing else.

Ill-considered access to bathrooms.

Secluded and private. Kangaroos in the backyard to wow my overseas visitors. Resident kookaburras. Pleasant garden.

House seemed to be set up for large parties rather than accommodation in that there were very large tables with lots of chairs, but house only accommodated 4 at most. Bedrooms were upstairs while bathrooms were downstairs, and only one of the bathrooms was in the house. The other was not really usable on a practical level. It was detached from the house and had no privacy; just big open curtainless windows. A bedroom and bathroom upstairs and a bedroom and bathroom downstairs would have worked better. Property was too far out of town for walking. There appeared to be a bottle of wine to greet us, but no card explaining that this was so. So we didn't touch it.

5 star stays, great location and cozy house.

The location is excellent, the property with private river and gardens are amazing. The bath hub is beyond expectation. By the way, kangaroos are gathering in front of the bath hub in the early evening. It's such a great view. The house is cozy and the fireplace is easy to handle. Overall it's an excellent stay experience. 5 stars.

The master bedroom balcony is locked. Maybe it's the same key, I forgot to try. The morning view there must be great. The shower can be replaced to a mixer rather than hot and cold switches. It's hard to manage the water temperature and amount, especially for kids.

So beautiful and peaceful and very, very relaxing. Loved the fireplace, so clean and fresh and the beds were so comfortable. so many options both indoors and out to escape and enjoy a good book. The perfect getaway!

This was the perfect spot to snuggle away for a few days. One of the best places I have ever stayed!

Everything! This was hands down the most charming place I have ever stayed. The moment I arrived I felt immediately relaxed. It was immaculately clean with everything you could ask for. I can’t wait to stay again!

Beautiful property with slight issue

I certainly can say that the Orchard is an absolutely beautiful place. Property: Never seen any place that uses Aesop room spray - that was a great touch. Kitchen facility and tools were fantastic too. Also there were a lots of sitting spaces inside and out.

As other reviewers mentioned, there were a lots on centipedes inside at night. I thought someone was high maintenance, but it's not really the case. There were loads of centipedes. It is easy to put it down to just ''country living" but I had to pick up more than 50 and take them outside every evening during our 4 nights stay. They kept coming back every hour, and it wasn't very relaxing in the end. I think this can be avoided by sealing the entrance doors properly. They have 3 doors that have so many insects coming in under the door and floor that it must be easy to seal the gaps somehow. By the way, I didn't mind spiders and frog came inside. I am just mentioning the centipedes because I would love to stay The Orchard again as long as this fixed.

Superb

the land size and layout of the property

couches were not compfy, the bathroom leaked water from the bottom of the shower screen outside through to the kitchen then at nights millipedes would be covered in the bathroom. internet kept dropping out and had to resign in Netflix.

Very relaxing and beautiful place to stay

Beautiful and quaint - really nicely furnished and decorated. The (extra) detached bathroom was very cute but we did see people walk across the back - lucky we weren’t in the tub then

All part of nature, but there were spiders and spider webs in quite a few places around the house - not just hard to reach places like ceilings but window frames, towel rail, stair case etc

Beautiful house and location

Beautiful house in a wonderful location. Super quiet and peaceful. The decor is lovely and nothing the owner hasn't thought off to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The beds are very comfortable and the seperate spa house next to the house is very nice too. It is only a few minutes drive from the centre of Daylesford yet it feels you are completely remote.

Due to its rural and beautiful nature setting one can expect a few insects here and there however the house unfortunately was full of spiders, flies and dead flies. We had to spray for quite a bit to try and get rid of all the spiders. The various outdoor areas for relaxing and entertaining could have done with a tidy up as well as it just all looked very dirty which could have been solved with a leaf blower. It was also a bit of a surprise that there was no bathroom upstairs where the bedrooms are. This is not obvious from any information provided about the property and it would be good for the property manager to disclose this as it may inconvenience certain guests significantly.
