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.

Nice view, private, clean and cute, all amenities provided for us and poochie. Very comfortable stay thank you!

My wife and I wished to go to a dog friendly venue as well as to celebrate our 55th wedding anniversary we had a good time and will consider doing it again soon.

Well appointed, clean, comfortable cottage. Good heater. Comfortable bed. Lovely view across Daylesford. Just a walk away to shopping, cafes and the lake. Nice, helpful host. Recommended!!

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.

Very clean and comfortable within walking distance to the main street of Daylesford. Great size yard, ideal for couples with dog/s.

Private and very quiet. Very clean and tidy. Close to the street and shops. Amazing view especially at night. Has everything a couple requires.

This cottage is perfect for a single or couple. It was very clean amd tidy and had everything we needed. Its also in a great location so close to the main strip. And the best part is its dog friendly!!

Very good place to stay at

Super dog friendly. And super nice for grown ups. Its differently only for a couple. The spa bath was great. The location is a bonus, walking distance to town. The kitchen has every thing need for a stay of a night to a week. Will stay again.

It was an enjoyable and relaxing stay

We had a lovely stay. Great location, very clean and Prue was a pleasure to deal with. We will definitely stay again.

We have been staying at Tara for many years and the cottage is always warm, welcoming and clean. The location is both an easy walk to the lake, and into town. Highly recommended.

We had an Enjoyable winter getaway at Tara Cottage. Great location clean and comfy thoroughly recommend it

Good

Beautiful quiet little cottage close to town with all required amenities - beautiful bottle of wine left for us and comfy warm bed ! Spa was lovely and cottage very clean ! Easy access and gardens beautifully kept. Excellent selections of dvds and games and fetch tv - coffee maker and outdoor settings. Would highly recommend !

We had a lovely overnight stay in Tara!! Such a lovely location and lovely and warm and clean!!! Dogs loved it too!!! Definitely will be back ❤️

Great accommodation. Cosy and clean. Close to cafes and shops. Highly recommend!

Perfect cottage for our two day break, good design for two people and was very suitable for our Cavoodle dog . We were visited by a friendly Kangaroo Gurri for a few hours until he went home to bed after dark . ie We have 80 kangaroos that visit us every night on the farm at home

Everything you would need was in this cottage. Wonderful stay. Nothing negative at all and would stay again.

Great place

Great little cottage that is close to amenities.

Lovely cottage for 2 and our dog close to the township comfy bed and a spa bath all the mod cons just gorgeous

Well appointed. Champagne was a nice touch. Will recommend to friends.

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.

We stay at Tara often and we love it. Great location and everything you need for a lovely Daylesford stay.

It was as advertised and checkin was an easy process

Engaged with locals, ate at amazing restaurants and puppies happy.

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.
