About Morton House Morton House is a beautifully updated two-storey country retreat in Glenlyon, set on a fully enclosed half acre just 10 minutes from Daylesford.

Ideal for families, couples or small groups, Morton House blends comfort, character and practicality, with three bedrooms, a sun room for reading or games, a fully stocked kitchen, an indoor wood fire, outdoor fire pit and plenty of secure fenced space for dogs to roam.
The space Downstairs, the main living and dining area is set up for long lunches, movie nights and quiet evenings by the fire, with a Samsung Frame TV, Sonos sound bar, wood fire and heating/cooling for year-round comfort.
