We enjoyed our stay in Daylesford at Tara cottage. We travel with our dog and the amenities were good. My only criticism is that the cottage has a steep uneven set of steps to enter with a rather rickety hand rail. It had been raining and was rather muddy around the front door. I didn’t feel safe going up and down the steps to the road where our car was parked.

We stayed with our pooch at Tara Cottage and had a lovely stay. The cottage was modern inside and had everything required for a short stay. There was a nice view from the back windows of the township and Wombat Hill. The back garden was large and good for our dog to explore. Unfortunately the imitation log fire was not working, but heating provided by reverse cycle AC. Tara is in a good location - about a 10 minute stroll to the main shopping strip.

This cottage was cosy and felt like we were in the country despite being a short walk from the shops and cafes of Daylesford. It was very clean and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the view and watching the birds. We would certainly recommend it!

The property needs a little maintenance attention,especially the lawn and garden,however the inside was clean and inviting.It would have been good to receive more than one shampoo and conditioner for two nights and two people.

On arriving to the cottage we were overcome by the smell of strong tobacco...we received a text message from the owner shortly after our arrival, she was very apologetic advising that the previous people had been smoking in the house. We had booked for 2 nights but left after one night as the smell was really awful. 🙃 Not the property owners fault but would have been nice to get a full refund for the inconvenience of having to leave after only stayng the one night.

My partner and I (and our beautiful dog Sasha) really enjoyed our stay at Tara’s. It was cosy & inviting and very close to the town centre. Highly recommend Cliffey’s for breakfast. We were disappointed when we were told the fire place wasn’t operational and Sasha would have loved investigating the lovely garden without a leash as the garden wasn’t gated. But overall we really enjoyed our stay.

Needs updating & some repairs

Needs updating & some repairs

We were disappointed with Roadside parking & having to carry luggage & food etc down the very uneven steps/pavers to the front door! Would be quite dangerous at night or if wet! Front security door didn't lock. Kitchen does not have any cupboard or Pantry area to put groceries/Food items away if you are staying for more than a couple of nights.(as the existing cupboards are full. Crockery needs to be replaced. Living area ,Bedroom & Bathroom were fine. The view from the back porch is lovely but again, the paved area where the chairs are requires attention. We were unable to locate an information book about the Unit requirements & for Emergency No's , Hospitals etc. Located in quiet Street with short walk to City centre.

Christmas at Tara Cottage

Christmas at Tara Cottage

The cottage is well located within easy walking distance to the town and the lake. The inside of the cottage is as described, very clean, has a functional kitchen, great bathroom, a lovely view and a comfortable bed. It is important to read the description very carefully as the fenced area for dogs is approx 2m x 4m - it is not the whole of the back garden. I misunderstood that. The large sloping back garden is open down the bottom and leads into the neighbours and then onto the road. Also there is no front gate and no off street parking. Another point to remember is that like most of Australia, it is very dry in summer, hence the garden (including the fenced area) is not like the photos. I would have uploaded photos of the fenced area if this were possible, but I don’t think I can do that. Suffice to say the fenced area was overgrown and full of prickles - I didn’t put my dog in there. Also the size of the enclosed space is too small for a dog to do ‘zoomies’ or play fetch. My message is that if your dog can be off leash without wandering off, no problems as it can wander around the back garden. I do think the best times to stay would be autumn and spring. But if your dog is like mine - full of curiosity - it cannot be off leash when outside - unless kept in the small enclosed area. We stayed one night instead of 3. We arrived Christmas Eve around 5pm and were back on the road heading home at 8am on Christmas Day. The overall rating of 3 stars is because I think there needs to be a qualification on ‘dog friendly’ and the enclosed area could be kept in better repair.

Absolutely loved staying here with my wife and 2 fur babies. Perfect location (5-10 minute walk into the heart of Daylesford.) Everything you need is supplied in Tara cottage. Could not ask for much more. We really didn’t need to bring anything. Would love to stay again in the future. Terrific.
