Serenity was in a beautiful bush setting with easy access to walks in forests and along creek and also a good walk into Daylesford centre. The house was very comfortable- good beds, comfy sofas, good dining area and kitchen well equipped including a great large fridge. Bathroom clean and functional but old style and limited sink space for a larger group. Great warmth from the fireplace and split systems but gas space heater wasn’t working. Would recommend

Initially we had trouble gaining access as the wrong code was supplied. However the host was responsive and good communication and rectified problem. We got in within an hour. The host was responsive,location, and the property is aptly named. However, the floors had not been washed. They were extremely dirty filthy. I was taken back. I had to sweep them twice and clean. If i could upload the photos i would. I did contact the host after but he said we should have contacted him earlier so our stay could have been better. But we only had a few days and it was our time away and it was supposed to be cleaned before arriving. We paid for cleaning? We left the place alot better. I even swept the deck for the next people as well.. I had tried a number of times to reach out and send our photos. He was only interested so he could tell the cleaners for the next people not offering anything to us. I have kept photos.

Such a tranquil location with bushland surroundings from the front porch. Perfect to relax outside on a warm day & on the cold night we sat in the back lounge room on comfortable couches with the fire going. I have rated everything 5 star…my only suggestion is to turn the hot water temperature up as the shower lacked any pressure. Also only a small thing but there were a lot of scented diffusers in the house…I think we counted 9 in total.😂 As a hayfever sufferer we relocated them under the porch outside for the stay. To be honest the house didn’t need them as it was super clean & definitely not stinky. Thanks for the stay we absolutely loved our relaxing getaway.

Very lovely home with all the modern comfort and technology for our family of 4. Enjoyed the two lounge spaces to watch different movies on Netflix. The owner was easy to converse with and was great to go on a long walk in to the surrounding area and see the springs. Beds were comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed the ambience of the house.

The stay was great, thank you for having us. We enjoyed our time. The main living room was a great entertaining area for our group of friends to catch up over food, or lounge on the couch watching Netflix in front of the huge flatscreen. It was also beautiful waking up to the gorgeous view overlooking the bush.
