Black

JessiRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

We had the pleasure of staying here for my partner’s birthday. The place was clean and beautifully presented. We especially loved the steam shower and the indoor jacuzzi. The hot tub water threw us off a little at first, but after the host explained it, it made sense. I feel the bed could be improved—I didn’t find the pillow and blanket as comfortable as I would’ve liked. On our first night, there was a blackout while we were showering, but thankfully the emergency line was helpful and the power came back quickly. We also really enjoyed the fireplace and had fun starting it ourselves, including the one outside. Note: there are no towel racks, so we moved the one from the room closer to the bathroom for convenience. Although the kitchen is quite small, we still managed to cook a simple steak and mash dinner. We also loved the toilet—it kept us warm, and we appreciated the air freshener spray, which most Airbnbs don’t have. All the little thoughtful touches didn’t go unnoticed. Thank you

Daylesford Longhouse - House of the Year 2019

AngeliqueRating, 5 stars3 months ago

Wow, rarely are we lost for words but not even the gorgeous photos could prepare us for what this would truly be like. As soon as you step into the longhouse you just feel different, the air smells beautiful and the nature sounds are so peaceful. Everything is so well designed and thought of. It feels like a hidden oasis and perfect place to relax. Most of our communication this trip was with Trace who greeted us and showed us around the property. The hosts are extremely helpful and have a lot of pride in their house and what they do. We’d recommend checking the website and booking one of their classes during your stay. I’m running out of space here to write but we absolutely couldn’t fault our stay here which was for our honeymoon. The outdoor bath and sauna are a highlight as well as the luxurious linens and views as you wake up in the morning. I’d recommend bringing some produce up with you and making use of the amazing kitchen equipped with everything you need.

Brooker Tiny Home: Rural Luxury

MelissaRating, 5 stars3 days ago

Had a lovely stay at The Tiny home. We stayed mid June so cold weather as expected but some beautiful walks through the forest that backs onto the home, the fire place made for a very cosy stay, everything we needed was supplied in the home. Georgina had great communication. We brought our little border collie who loved the area, we were aware of lots of wildlife but beautiful to see. Very much a place to switch off, minimal internet and no tv but didn’t need it.
