Cottage vacation rentals in Darley

Nice little cottage in the bush. Freezing cold when we arrived (no surprise, it's winter), but the fire eventually warmed the whole house up.

A little oasis perfectly situated next to the Botanic Gardens! Heaps of space for a couple, plus a beautiful veranda out the back. The spa was a treat! Would stay again.

Lady Marmalade has quickly become a favourite for our annual girls trip. It’s cozy, close to the shops and a beautiful house. We look forward to our visit every year. James is a great host and very friendly and responsive.

Stunning cottage, would definitely stay again, perfect for a romantic quiet getaway

My partner and I stayed at this lovely cottage for a couple of nights and were absolutely blown away. It was spotless and beautifully organized when we arrived, with a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that made it feel like the perfect getaway. The views from the cabin, combined with the lush greenery all around, created a peaceful and relaxing setting. The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed, and the surrounding area offered plenty of scenic drives and amazing places to explore. The host was fantastic, friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout our stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended!

My husband and I wanted a relaxing getaway for our anniversary, and Poet’s Lodge was absolutely perfect. The space is beautiful, complete with an indoor fireplace, and the location couldn’t have been better—within walking distance to Cliffy’s Emporium, The Hot Chocolate Company, and the charming Vincent St. We also loved having halal dining options at Taj Mahal Restaurant and the convenience of Coles nearby. Our only regret was staying just one night! We can’t wait to return. Thank you, Angeline & Richard, for creating such a thoughtfully curated retreat ❤️

Beautiful little area, easy to find and clear check-in instructions, the spa was the perfect temperature, very clean and the perfect distance from town to be walkable but also nice and quiet and very private. The only issues we had was a lack of sponge or cloth to wash the dishes with but aside from that it was well worth it, I highly recommend

Our stay in Daylesford was very nice. I'd imagine during autumn and spring the local flora would be stunning. As it was a dry summer it looked like it needed a shower or two! Our residence was in a great location and we felt it was a very private spot. Quiet and peaceful except for one thing. The night life is very active! We assumed possums were having a field day at night running around.

Fantastic view, sunset a highlight! Amazing hosts, super friendly! The BEST farm dog we’ve ever encountered! Super peaceful setting, bbq and fire kept the Autumn weather at bay!

This was my third stay and it just keeps getting better. The converted shed is absolutely stunning – rustic, full of character, and incredibly well put together. The wood fire creates such a warm, cozy vibe, and the quality of the space is second to none. It’s the perfect country escape – peaceful, beautifully styled, and in an ideal location. Clearly a lot of love has gone into creating this space. One of my favourite Airbnb stays, and I’ll definitely be back again.

Great place especially with the fur babies and they were welcomed! Stephanie was a great communicator and always on hand if you needed something ! Very private regardless of the number of cottages on site! We will be back ❤️

We absolutely loved our time here. It was peaceful and beautiful, and Stacey was a perfect host. Would absolutely love to come back. Thanks!

Great little cabin, short drive from townships of Hepburn and Dayelsford. Emma was excellent with communication.

We can’t wait to return. We all absolutely loved the house and everything has been so well thought of. The views, the peace, such a restful place and we had everything we needed and more to cook great meals. Comfy, warm and Castlemaine close by. Thanks for sharing your your home Regards Susan

We had a great stay at Tanglewood, we were visiting family on the area. Lovely place well kitted out very peaceful and tranquil and a good size. Roslyn is lovely and a great host. We would definitely recommend and return

I loved my stay at this beautiful studio. It felt relaxing and calm. The views were beautiful as were the gardens that Nicola has created on the property. I highly recommend a stay here.

Mistwood is just off the main street but feels a world away given it’s down a steep drive and surrounded on by natural bush land. The house is very comfortably, cozy and homely with everything you need for a long weekend. My only issue was the weather was so bad all weekend I didn’t get to use the outdoor bath! Nicole was an excellent host too.

Lovely old cottage, quiet and private. Very comfortable bed, in fact there was a choice of different bedrooms. Nice gas log fire in the lounge kept the room toasty warm (and it was very cold outside). Column heaters in each bedroom which are easily moved around to where-ever they're needed. Also a reverse-cycle air conditioner in lounge. Breakfast provisions consisted of eggs, milk, butter, cereals, bread, vegemite and a Nespresso coffee pod machine. Lots of crockery, cutlery, pots and pans, but as in just about every short-term rental, needs a good, sharp cooks knife. Full size fridge, along with a dishwasher and induction stove, kettle and toaster. A great place to stay for a few days to look around Kyneton and surrounds.

This was a lovely little cottage. Heaters were on and the place was lovely and warm. The kids loved the toys that were supplied. Perfect spot and great value for money, won’t look else where next time would just book here again. Thanks again

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It’s very cosy and clean. There’s everything you need in the kitchen. There were even games and colouring books for the kids. There are farms around you so it’s perfect if you want to escape the hustle of the city. Just a quick drive to all the sights in the area. Kylie is a very friendly and helpful host, always responded quickly. We would definitely come back.

The most beautiful home! Felt so warm and cosy and the perfect location for a girls night away. Beautiful linens and amenities! Will definitely book again!

A beautiful place to stay in the centre of town! Close to the theatre and many places to eat and drink. A comfortable, warm cottage with everything we needed and more. Check in was seamless and communication excellent. Would highly recommend.

Tanya's beautiful cottage was cosy and homely. Private. All amenities were above and beyond. Prosecco on arrival was amazing! The most comfortable beds and linen. Excellent communication. 5 star!!

A warm place that felt extremely calm and cosy to get away from the city. We extremely enjoyed the gate to the Botanical Gardens. We went there so many times- especially this time of the year with the roses in the greenhouse season. We haven’t seen flowers that huge with so many varieties and colours. We loved sitting outside under the sunshine with a nice cup of tea. We will definitely come back.
