Bella Vista Bendigo ~ heated pool, outdoor fire
We had a great stay here! Alisa was super responsive, gave very clear directions and couldn’t have been more helpful. The place itself is excellent - plenty of room for big groups (we did it feel at all cramped!) and the bedrooms were beautifully appointed. As someone who enjoys cooking I was delighted to find a really well equipped kitchen with plenty of space and all the utensils I needed! The pool was so warm and inviting, we made so much use of it. Loved the extra touches like the cheese and fruit platter, marshmallows (we didn’t get to toast them - my little boy gobbled them up too quickly!) and helpful pointers about local cafes and restaurants. Highly recommended. If we ever have to host another large group in Bendigo we will be back without hesitation. Keep up the great work, Alisa!

Gold Dust Hepburn - Swimming Pool & Valley Views!
perfect little spot in Hepburn, Sharee was flexible and the place was so easy to check in to, even at 8pm in the dark (they left the lights on for us) bedrooms are get, multiple bathrooms and overall just a spacious environmental!

Great house, very cosy, lots of spaces for the kids to play, and Julie was so kind to drop over some extra toys for the kids which they loved. We also loved how easy it was to access the walking tracks for the kids on their bikes. We will stay again for sure!

Casa Linda - in the heart of Daylesford
Fuss free check in to this comfortable cottage and easy walk to shops and restaurants (can recommend Taj Mahal, Cliffy’s, Koukla and La Luna). Short drive to Hepburn Springs and Castlemaine for more adventures. Had a blast playing Trivial Pursuit and enjoyed breakfast on the verandah and reading a magazine in the private backyard. Carlos provided information before check in re heating (there was ample for cosy cooler nights) and appliance use. Highly recommend the home and host. Thanks Carlos!

Cosy Retreat on Forest- Please read guess access
Had a wonderful stay at this beautiful house! The property was recently renovated with a touch of luxury that made it feel extra special. Communication, though fully automated, was clear, prompt, and incredibly helpful. Getting into the house was a breeze with the keyless entry system—super convenient and no need to worry about carrying keys around. The location was perfect—everything we needed was just a 4-minute drive away, which made exploring and running errands so easy. Overall, the home was stylish, comfortable, and in a great spot. Would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a hassle-free and upscale stay!
