The Timber and Stone Retreat
About this house rental
Nestled in a quiet little pocket in the quaint township of Malmsbury sits this unique accommodation. It offers a 2 bedroom escape with lovely open plan kitchen and living area, luxurious bathroom, with French doors that open out to a lovely Alfresco dining area. The landscaped gardens and trees also create an additional aspect. The Wood fireplace creates a warm and relaxing atmosphere in the cooler months, making it a perfect place to just relax and unwind. Summer time offers a cool air-conditioned space to escape the heat. Comfortable Queen size bed in the main bedroom and a double/single bunk in the second bedroom allows it to sleep up to 4 adults, with the option of a 5th being a child for the top bunk. About the home The house is constructed using lovely old salvaged timber trusses, together with unique arched windows, of which were imported from Italy and salvaged from an old Villa. Travertine stone covers the main living area and bathroom floors, with high quality wool carpet in the bedrooms. It boasts a very rustic charm with all contemporary conveniences. The home is a blend of old and new with a soft palette creating a relaxed and cosy atmosphere. Outside, we have used local Castlemaine stone on the pillars and water ponds, and the garden is established and passionately maintained. It sits amongst a private 10acre property, offering privacy and serenity. The north facing Alfresco area can be enjoyed day or night. Read a book on one of the many little garden benches tucked away in various pockets of the garden. Features The kitchen/living area features large open space with great wood fire, large farmhouse style dining table and comfy leather sofa and lounge chairs in front of the fire. Lots of natural light fills the rooms, with all windows looking out to picturesque garden views. It also features a lovely little reading corner to unwind with a good book. There is a fully equipped kitchen with large double freestanding cooker, which may entice a keen chef to cook up a country cooked meal made with produce bought from one of the locally held farmers markets. Nespresso coffee machine, farmhouse style sink and concrete benches and microwave are all features of the kitchen. The Main bedroom offers a comfortable queen size bed with lovely linen bedding. High Quality sheets, pillows and quilts are all supplied. Electric blankets are also on the beds if required. The second bedroom offers the same quality linen and pillows with a double bed and a single bed bunk arrangement in that room. The bathroom is a luxury escape featuring a deep modern freestanding bath. Travertine stone in the shower and a lovely brick feature wall all add to the charm. Quality bathroom products are all at your disposal to enhance the relaxing atmosphere. Underfloor heating in the bathroom complete the picture. Only 10 minutes walk to the township of Malmsbury, you can experience the local living and fresh country air. With a short 10 minute drive you can be in Kyneton, 15mins to Castlemaine and only 20 minutes drive and you’ll be in the famous township of Daylesford, just to mention a few.

Just beautiful. Really relaxed here even having cooked breakfast and laying on blanket outside for hours just flicking through provided books.
Bed was comfy. Bath was lovely.
Hooks in bathroom would be helpful for towels and esp hand towel.
Cupboard door under bathroom sink broken. A mirror somewhere else in house would be helpful. We had a wedding to get ready f and also wardrobe would be good. We absolutely loved it here though. We’ll come back

Thank you Vanessa for our stay in your French Farm House inspired home. It reminded us of our time in Provence. The food supplies was unexpected but very much enjoyed. Good location for our Macedon Ranges escape. Thank you ... David & Terri

We may as well have been in an estate house in the French countryside. The ambiance was perfect. We never left the property. PS No sound system so we brought our own.

Wonderfully comfortable with a blazing fire to keep us warm during the cold evenings along with a split system. Comfy beds and great amenities with crockery pots and pans and a massive oven cooker. Can’t recommend highly enough. Amazing rural outlook and the stars at night, awe inspiring!

Such a beautifully presented and equipped cottage. We felt like we’d been transported to Tuscany or the South of France. Breakfast provided, luxury bath products and enough magazines, books and DVDs to never want to leave but the quaint village of Malmsbury is just nearby and well worth spending time in.

We had a perfect autumn weekend at this beautiful villa. Every detail to make for a relaxing stay was thought of. We enjoyed the log fire on the cold night we arrived with plenty of firewood on hand, the reverse cycle heating also did an amazing job when we chose not to light the fire the next night. The breakfast basket was loaded with fresh produce, orange juice and plenty of milk in the fridge to use in the coffee machine and an absolute stack of coffee pods. This was much more than we expected! The bed was very comfortable and you feel total privacy. We enjoyed lunch on the Sun soaked terrace and took a few happy snaps in front of the beautiful autumn foliage at the front on the villa. The accommodation is even lovelier than the photos as we felt total escape and relaxation as soon as we arrived with all the thoughtful details. Vanessa was a wonderful host, fantastic communicator and we feel very grateful that we were able to stay at this beautiful place. Would love to stay again!
