Musk House is a contemporary styled property that is well appointed and very comfortable. Tastefully decorated, the house is set in established gardens which leads down to a small creek. The open planned living space is warmed by a Coonara style wood fire while the warmer months are no problem with a reverse cycle air conditioner. The kitchen has everything you might need to self cater including all pots, pans, crockery and cooking utensils and a dishwasher. There is olive oil, salt, pepper & sugar provided. There is also plunger coffee & coffee pods for the Nespresso coffee machine. There is a smart TV in the lounge room where you can watch free to air channels or access all the various platforms using your own log in details. (WiFi ID & password available at property) There is a Queen size bed with an en-suite bathroom. A small balcony off the bedroom is a lovely spot for your morning coffee while watching the bird life frolic in the garden. There is a sun room at the front of the house with a lovely day bed just perfect for an afternoon nap or perhaps just to read a book or magazine. Musk House is located in the small hamlet of Musk, which is just a short distance out of town. Some of the regions major attractions are located in Musk. Passing Clouds winery is just around the corner, as is the incredible small goods farm called 'Istra' where you can purchase all your bacon, sausages, salami and other products directly from the owners at reduced prices. You will find a compendium with all of this information on the desk. A great selection of eateries, such as The Farmers Arms,Bistro Terroir, Bar Merenda are just a short drive away. The Daylesford Hotel has the best balcony overlooking town & also a large beer garden for alfresco dining. Various bars and specialist shops and galleries line the Main Street so enjoy a browse at your own leisure. Take the mineral waters too at the famous and historic Hepburn Bathhouse and Spa or try various treatments at one of a selection of day spas all located around the township. Musk House is also pet friendly so feel free to bring that other member of the family with you. Please be mindful of other guests and ensure that you clean up after your dog in the garden ( doggy bags are supplied) The small garden area, accessed via the back door or through the French doors from the sun room is fully fenced and secure for your dog. The gate across the driveway adds extra security & there is some secure fencing in this garden area which should prevent your dog access to the very rear of the property which is NOT fenced. Please be sure to check this fencing to be confident it will contain your pet before letting him/her free to explore. I ask that you clean up after your dog in the garden areas. Please do not leave your dog in the house unsupervised. Musk House is a lovely 'home away from home' so relax, rejuvenate and re charge those batteries.

The cottage is peaceful with lovely gardens and interesting art to enjoy inside. Martin the host was very accommodating and friendly. We spent our 50th anniversary there with our dog and it was quite safe for her to roam. Stayed three nights and will do it again. Thanks again Martin. Cheers
Musk house is welcoming, surrounded by gorgeous trees and gardens with lots of places to relax. Incredible place from which to explore the region- full kitchen and great host.
We enjoyed our stay in the Musk House very much. Need to mention that our two dogs loved it.The house has a wonderful feel, great reflection of local area. Awesome wood burning fireplace, specious outdoor undercover deck. Equipped kitchen with all one need away from home. Bedroom has a balcony, great for having a cup of coffee, glass of or just birds watching. Very short drive to Daylesford.Flexible and accomodating host, pleasure to deal with. Did not want to leave and wanting to return
Musk was the perfect place to stay, we had our dog and it garden was fenced, the cottage was close to The Lake House where we were treating ourselves to the best meal . Daylesford is beautiful and the walk around the lake is a must. Martin was a wonderful host answering every question immediately

I enjoy coming back here as so close to the city but in the country and close to lovely villages. Love the logfire and a good updated movie dvd option.

Thanks for your review Anna. You are always welcome at Musk House. As usual the place was spotlessly clean. Glad you enjoyed going old school & enjoyed some dvd watching 😆
Musk house is a charming little home away from home, with all the necessities you need for cooking and a comfortable stay. Communication with Martin was easy and reliable, and the bowl of breakfast goodies he left was a welcoming touch.
