We had a great time staying at Texada Art Retreat, we ended up forgoing visiting the hot springs because we were having such a good time relaxing in the hot tub at the property! After a stressful few weeks working, this was just what we needed to unwind. Would highly recommend the property - close to everything you need in town, very clean and easy to find/check in. We hope to stay again!

Loved our stay! The only grimaces we had were the bed wasn’t properly made on arrival & there was sand in the clothes iron provided, but only minor things. We would love to stay again!

Communication with the property managers was prompt and helpful. The space itself was on the smaller side but still very functional, it is fitted out with heaters and electric blankets so staying warm wasn’t an issue, the location is good and we followed recommendations from the owners to take a nearby trail which made for a really nice walk in nature while exploring local history, would definitely recommend. The hot tub was also probably the main selling point to this accomodation and it did not let us down as it was constantly hot and ready to go. The downsides to the stay were very minimal but I will write to inform future visitors + the owners: the kitchen isn’t exactly made for cooking but does have all the necessary accessories to prepare basic food, I will suggest bringing a bread knife if thats your thing, we picked up a special loaf from the Sunday Market and struggled with the knives at the house. We also found it wasn't as private as we expected when initially booking, the owners did inform us that the property has two other cottages, and although they are pretty far apart, the trees surrounding the hot tub where we stayed are deciduous so there were no leaves on them during our stay and we could easily see others around and they could see us if used during the day, there isn’t really fencing separating the property either, at one point there was a dog in out backyard area while we in the hot tub. The booking also said there would be drinks on arrival but there was not. I didn’t follow any of these up with the owners during the stay as we were quite busy coming in and out to explore the local area, again not major issues, but potentially some things that could be done better in the future. Overall great stay, and would recommend it to anyone staying in Daylesford for a few days.

Beautiful & peaceful location, quite and didn’t see other quests. Management were very helpful.

Hot tub was perfect, easy to access and well screened for privacy. Outdoor area small but nicely decorated and very inviting. Loved the view from the windows - trees, plants and birds. A very enjoyable and relaxing weekend, thank you 💚

Second time we've stayed at this property and once again it left us feeling deeply relaxed.

it's a peaceful getaway.

Great spot for a quiet getaway

I wouldn't hesitate in recommending texada to any of my friends. A beautiful place to stay, just a short walk from the centre of town

Beautiful, peaceful and clean properly. Very comfortable.

Everything was perfect

very small and cosy, hot tub is amazing

great location and ideal for a break outside summer, no air conditioning nor an AM Radio to listen for weather alerts make this place a good place to avoid in summer

Is a very clean little place but was very disappointed as the discription of this property is false. It does not back on to wombat state forest it backs onto someone back yard ( forest can be seen if you climb a tree and look a kilometre into the distance. The large plasma tv is not large at all is only the size of tv you would have on kitchen bench and gate leading to private back yard is broken and can't be used. After calling owner to complain that there was no drinks on arrival as promised plus all the other list of things wrong I was told they don't have a maintence man so pretty much bad luck and if look in the distance you can see forest. Was really excited for this little get away with my husband and new born baby but left feeling disappointed and stooged.

Hot tub

Lovely place to stay, however not much room for our dog. As it is advertised as a pet friendly residence, the out door garden area could've been better facilitated for pets.

Just loved this little cottage. Old styled on the outside, beautiful and modern on the inside. It was so neat, clean and very cosy. It had everything we needed and more. The patio on the outside with the Spa was magical and very private. Totally recommend this property, and will definitly be back again. Thank-You Cherie :)

A perfect last minute mid-week escape from grey melbourne town. Thank you Cherie for your flexibility with the checkout time and your warm welcome. Cosy, clean and completely quiet.

Neat, spotless yet still relaxed getaway, very close to town but on the edge of the countryside. Thank you for your flexibility with our arrangements we had a great time- highly recommended

Simple, nice decor and had everything you needed for an overnight stay.

Lovely and quiet little cottage for two. Excellent value for a stay that is only a few minutes walk from the heart of Daylesford. The owners are also lovely to talk to and very accommodating. Recommended.
