A lovely spot in nature

We really enjoyed our stay here. Was lovely waking up to the sound of birds and the sun peeking through the trees. The amenities inside were great and well thought of the only issue was the hot water running out quickly and the showers going from hot to cold Would recommend this place

Beautiful country retreat

A great place to stay with beautiful views. The property was clean, well maintained and look better than the photos. The house was well stocked making our stay really enjoyable. We would definitely come back. Only comments are that more firewood would have been great.

Bush weekend

Stunning house with everything you need, just 10 mins from Daylesford but a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city. View out to trees from every window. Very comfy couch, kitchen well equipped. Nice and cosy on a cold weekend.

House was clean, beds were comfortable and plenty of t owels supplied. Our only complaint is that the gardens were very unkempt ( we do realise that it is a bush setting ....but still . Weeds overgrown small branches etc, but we were looking forward to game of bocce because we could see one in the pictures, but the court was full of weeds and leaves ( no rake in sight). Apart from those things - we did enjoy our stay in your area. We had nice lunches in a few of the local ea teries.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you found the house clean and comfortable and enjoyed exploring the local area. We appreciate your comments regarding the garden and bocce court- being a bush setting it can be a challenge to maintain, but this has been passed on to our team for attention. Thanks again for staying with us!
