Cottage vacation rentals in Daylesford - Hepburn Springs

Peaceful and only 10mins from Daylesford. The access to state tracks is great for running and the home is set in a peaceful location.

Lovely quaint cottage for a restful getaway. We particularly enjoyed a soak in the spa with some wine after a long walk. Very comfy bed and thoughtful touches.

The perfect spot to stay in Daylesford. This immaculate house has a dreamy view across the valley. Immaculately clean, this property is spacious and has every amenity a guest requires for a beautiful stay. Close enough to town that we walked in for dinner but so quiet and relaxing. We have been to Daylesford several times and would definitely stay in James’s property again.

We had such an amazing experience staying at Amie and Brad’s! There was so much to explore on the property, and they had fresh bread, butter and eggs for us on arrival. Simply a perfect country escape!

We had a wonderful two nights in the Garden Loft at Poets Lodge. A beautiful and comfortable space that was ideal for a weekend getaway. Angeline and Richard were responsive and gracious hosts.

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

Great cute cottage Well set out and extremely user friendly and clean Spa was a nice touch ,we spent a lovely few days in a peaceful setting close to Ballarat if looking for more night life

We've stayed here before and thought it was impossible to improve on this space - how wrong were we?! Sandy and Rob have refined and improved this beautiful space creating greater comfort and sense of indulgence. From the generous breakfast supplies (enough for lunch!) and welcome champagne, to the luxurious steam room and garden hot tub, along with the perfect indoor-outdoor theatre room space to binge, read or play a board game, this is a space you can easily hide away in with no need to leave. That said, we do recommend the short stroll to the Cafe, bakery and pubs - the food is FABULOUS! You could travel somewhere else, but when you find a space like this, that ticks ALL the boxes, there's no need! Planning our next trip already...

What an absolutely magical space! The peppercorn tree and the ivy growing all around was so picturesque and calming. The converted shed was done tastefully and was a very intriguing and interesting home. Absolutely adored the niche touch of the real Ivy creeping its way inside the shed from outside. absolutely gorgeous!

Neal was a great host from check in to check out! All the thoughtful extras were appreciated. The cottage felt very welcoming and homely on arrival and throughout our stay. A beautiful base to travel within the Central Goldfields region. Neal's knowledge of the area and recommendations were appreciated as we were able to visit some of these places which we enjoyed.

We had a great stay at Daylesford Country Retreats. The accommodation was just as described and as per the photos. The beautiful scenery around the property made our stay so peaceful. We will definitely be coming back again. Thank you for having us!

Perfect little get away Emma - the host- took great care of us Bottle of wine for our stay Would message/communicate any problems within the area so we could plan ahead 10/10 service

We enjoyed a relaxing stay in Chewton Bushlands - with its relaxing & cozy lounge with wood fire, books & DVDs. The kitchen was well set up for eating in. The beds were comfortable. We were only a short drive from the charming Saturday market in Chewton & getting provisions in Castlemaine, exploring the excellent local bookstore & cafes. Finally we appreciated visits from the local wildlife including 2 wedge-tail eagles soaring overhead.

Our stay and studio 1 was amazing! Nicola was a great host, very responsive and friendly when we had requests but also respected our privacy. The studio is decorated Beautifully and we spent a long time admiring her furniture and how well it was put together. We stayed here over our wedding weekend so the photographer came to take some photos beforehand and she agreed they are going to be stunning, the old buildings and beautiful gardens are the perfect backdrop. Couldn’t recommend Nicola’s place more highly for wedding accomodation or just a relaxing weekend away in beautiful Castlemaine.

Really enjoyed this unique accommodation in Castlemaine. Loved the decor and attention to detail. Short walk down the street where we were able to enjoy all that Castlemaine has to offer. Peter helped make our stay easy to manage and quickly replied to any questions I had. Thank you so much for fantastic stay.

Lovely old miners cottage. Great bed. Had everything required for a relaxing stay. Short walk into Daylesford. Nice extra touches.

Apple Cottage is in a lovely peaceful part of Maldon, felt very much enjoying the country life but a short drive to town. We loved how cosy and calm the cottage decor and the beautiful short strolls around the streets into the town. Having access to a stove and oven was also awesome to heat the home cooked food we bought, definitely a place could relax and stay a few days! Enjoyed visiting the honey factory gift store just around the corner too!

This is a beautiful cottage with lots of little extras for a family. Centrally located,it’s only a 5-10 minute drive to almost any attraction in Ballarat. The house is private and quiet, and Deb is a fantastic host. We had stayed here a few years ago and were very happy to visit once again. If you’re looking for a family getaway Dunwoody should be at the top of your list.

Lovely quiet place surrounded by beautiful nature and rolling hills. The interior is beautifully decorated and equipped with everything you need for a weekend away. I loved the fireplace and the timeless furniture! The only thing that could improve would be that the shower pressure was quite low, and the hot water ran out very quickly! All in all though it was a fantastic stay!

Lovely, well presented cottage right next to Sovereign Hill. We enjoyed our stay.

Matilda’s Cottage was a perfect little spot that catered two nights before our wedding and our wedding night. While we are local, I highly reccomend utilising this cosy quiet accommodation. You are not far from gisborne vineyards and town centre and a short drive up the freeway into the Macedon ranges. Take a short drive continuing up benson rd you’ll grab a nice view of the valley. Thanks for having us!

Loved our stay at the Cottage. Perfect location, close to lots of parks and restaurants. Would recommend!

Excellent communication from Roger. Attentive host who checked in regularly and immediately dealt with minor problems. An excellent property and host experience.

Absolutely wonderful cottage, location and hosts. Vast property and very private. Paradise for a family with active kids. Host's kids built an awesome single track MTB trail around the property, there is a dam with a kayak and a rowing boat, tennis court, basketball hoop.. So so much to do. The cottage is compact and extremely charming. Everything is intentional. Really could not wish for a better experience. Hosts are friendly, responsive and very helpful. Cannot wait to come back.
