Family-friendly vacation rentals in Hepburn Shire

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.

This is a beautiful house in the peaceful neighbourhood that has a close proximity to all you need in Daylesford e.g. supermarket and town area. We highly recommended! Andrew is also proactive and provided a clear instructions and communication for our stay.

We had a lovely stay. Check in was easy. It’s a cosy, clean and comfortable space. We loved all the wonderful art around the property. We also enjoyed the jacuzzi on the deck. It was a short walk into town and just around the corner from the Mill market. We could hear our neighbours easily but they weren’t there for the whole weekend.

Thanks Michele, we loved our short stay in your cottage. It had everything that we needed and more. It was in a beautiful area and it was so peaceful, which is what we were hoping for. When we are back in the Hepburn region we will definitely look at booking again. Thank you, Leanne

We booked this stunning Daylesford house for our best friend’s 40th — and WOW, what a weekend! The vibes were immaculate, the house was beyond gorgeous, and we spent three days laughing, grazing, and sipping Prosecco like queens. Perfect for a girls’ getaway and milestone celebration!

Jennifer and David’s house is a fabulous place to stay in Daylesford! The house itself is modern, clean, spacious, has excellent amenity, and special bonus features including pool, spa and sauna! Communication was easy, always prompt and informative. Will be back. Highly recommend!

Prue was super lovely and made our stay smooth and peaceful. The space is perfect for a couple plus pooch! We all felt very welcome. Location was very central to all of the beautiful Daylesford attractions. Thank you Prue!

Spent 2 nights La Boheme. We really enjoyed our stay here. The place is in the middle of nature with plenty of wildlife. The highlight was definitely the regular kangaroos bouncy past the house. The location is perfect with plenty to do and plenty to see.

Great location, near shops and the house was so beautiful. Only issue we had was we found it difficult to get hot water despite following the instructions left. It also gets a bit hot in the rear rooms in summer but nothing a few open windows cant fix. Thanks for allowing us to have a wonderful weekend.

Kathy's place is wonderful. Plenty of yard space for the dogs with some farmyard animals. The welcome basket and platter of tasty foodstuffs was lovely. Thanks Kathy!

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!

Emma’s place is a dream! Dream location, dream property, dream communication. The property is so magical, the gardens are gorgeous and the house has so much character. Such an amazing place stay. We would HIGHLY recommend!

This is our second stay at Andy and Pauls place. It was just as awesome as our first stay. The place is clean, warm, comfortable and well thought out. We felt right at home within the beautiful surroundings of Daylesford.

Our stay was beautiful and so cozy. Thank you for having us stay. Really quiet and super quaint. Highly reccomend

This property was so clean. Very nicely presented and had everything we needed. Access was a little difficult for mobility issues and small car, just due to the parking space and slope the property sits on. Very comfy, I fell asleep on the couch more than once, and the space is fantastic for kids and dogs.

Barbara and Brad’s farm was a beautiful place to stay for the Ballarat marathon weekend. It’s a bit like a motel- we had the 4 person suite which was 2 double beds sharing a bathroom and kitchenette. There was another family of 10 that had booked the rooms next door. The main kitchen, fire pit and garden is shared so if there’s another large group you will definitely see them. The rooms were super clean and thoughtfully renovated, Barbara has clearly put in lots of thought with double glazed windows, split heating/cooling, filtered water in the taps, noise insulation (we couldn’t hear the other groups at all) etc. the garden is also beautifully landscaped and overlooks the sheep docks and mountains. Very serene and peaceful. The kitchen is also super well stocked with bbq we used to make burgers, fridge, stove, microwave, plates, mugs utensils etc for cooking dinner. There is also nespresso machine with pods as well as lots of tea and hot chocolate, milk. 25 mins from Ballarat.

Staying in farm was a great experience. Claire & Alistair are amazing hosts. Alistair told me some amazing stories from his experience, took us to show his farm and some really beautiful views from the property. Highly recommended.

What a lovely little place to stay. I wouldn't say it was dead in the middle of town however wasn't too far out or a short walk. The townhouse was cute and comfortable. Was greatly priced as well. Would recommend and would happily stay here again.

The house and outside surroundings were absolutely stunning. The kids had so much space to play and loved meeting and feeding the friendly animals. Sarah was a fantastic host and we would love to return one day in the future.

A lovely place for a girls weekend away. Four King sized beds! Great heating. Fire. View. Comfortable! Walking distance to ammenities. We will be back!

This was our (10 High School Friends from the 1970’s) second stay at Cathy and Peter’s property. Didn’t disappoint. Beautiful peaceful place, beautiful surroundings, fantastic home and cottage, clean with everything you need. Felt very at home. Thanks Cathy and Peter. Can’t wait to come back again.

Vincent’s house was such a cozy and beautiful home. It was perfect for our group of 13 adult and kids. It was in great order and very warm during the very cold weekend we stayed. You have everything you need in the house and it is very spacious. Vincent was very responsive and friendly to deal with. We’d love to be back again during the warmer months.

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.

We had a lovely stay. Took in the views from the many locations on the property. Fire pit in the afternoon was a treat for a Uke strum and sing along. Could have stayed for a week! Thanks David. Was great to meet you on arrival and hear the history of the property. It's a special place!
