Cottage vacation rentals in Mount Cole

We had a beautiful stay. Accommodation was spotless and resembled photographs. Angela was helpful and accommodating as we changed our dates last minute. We would definitely return. Thank you.

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 really enjoyed our time at Neil's accomodation. It was quiet and very close to the start to many hikes.

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!

Prue is a great host and the cottage had everything we were after, would stay again :)

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

A beautiful home that the photos don't do justice.

Beautiful property and a brilliant location. What was a lovely surprise for me was the abundance of bird life every morning and evening. So beautiful! I’d definitely book this property again if going to Creswick.

Such a beautiful eco home with the most gorgeous of vistas. Waking up each morning to the beautiful views are worth the trip alone. The house has been built so thoughtfully and remains temperate and comfortable no matter the weather. Instantly feeling at home in the plush couch and comfy bed. It was a serene getaway for my pooch and myself to read and get some R&R. We didn’t get to explore the surrounds as we were snug where we were, but there was a whole book full of maps and ideas from Janet. So sad to see the fires rip through such a beautiful region and the scars remain but feels like a blessing to see this house and gardens still standing. Thank you for having us.

Really enjoyed staying in this little gem, close to the shops and cafes but nestled amongst the trees. Would stay again

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!

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

Lovely accommodation in a beautiful area. We came up for a wedding that was located at the Grampians park station. It was a 10minute drive from the location which was perfect for us. Comfy beds and useful amenities. Loved seeing the wedged tailed eagles flying so close outside the window.

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.

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!

We absolutely loved our stay at Minna and Peter's 'Le Shack' The location was just perfect, with birdlife and roos viewable from the deck and windows. Everything was very clean and the bed was super comfortable. There was a small air conditioner which we barely used (a couple of the days were quite hot) and leaving the windows open at night was enough. It felt secluded but so close to Daylesford and lots of amazing places to visit. We didn't want to leave. Thank you so much Minna and Peter.

Old Dadswell Town greets you with humour and serenity, with Roo’s at your door, birdlife a plenty and stunning night views of the stars, Jenny, Max and Kelly (the dog) were amazing hosts so welcoming and the accommodation was so lovely, we sat out on the deck watching the world chatting to the other guests and star gazing. A much needed battery reseat.

Lovely place to stay if visiting the Grampians. It is very far from amenities (shops etc) but we came prepared and once there the views are stunning. My daughter loved seeing all the animals on the farm.

We have stayed here before in April of 2024. March 2025 proved equally as pleasurable. You cannot beat Kangaroos/wallabies visiting you at the house daily and putting in an appearance in the back garden. It particularly impressed my sister who was visiting Melbourne from UK. There's more! A bottle of wine with lunch or dinner on the back deck, watching all sorts of birds in the trees. Local walks, mountains to climb, restaurants to visit. Art and Craft shops are also in the main street. The old bakery beckoned too, the bread was straight out of the oven. They do a full breakfast as well! Even a drive to Port Fairy is a good trip out for the day. There is so much more but that would be for you to explore and find out. As a thought, you could also do NOTHING and totally enjoy just being in that wonderful peaceful cottage surrounded by the sounds and smells of the countryside.

A wonderful 2 night stay at the cottage. Very clean & tidy with a unique country charm you’d expect in a property like this. A great location to explore local wineries and walking tracks. Barry was great to communicate with too. Thank you

Great host, excellent communication and all the amenities you need! We enjoyed every moment of it from the cute cockies at the window to antique decor around the property. Bedrooms are spacious and can cater to big families. The property is off the main road but still so close to the main attractions and walking distance or a short drive to town

This cottage is a peaceful haven — soulful, serene, and full of thoughtful touches that make you feel at home the moment you arrive. Soft light, natural textures, and thoughtful design come together to create a restful space in a beautiful bushland setting. The deep bathtub was pure bliss — perfect for letting go of stress and soothing away aches. Hosts Ari and Chanelle were warm and attentive, kindly reaching out when I left something behind. I highly recommend this special place and hope to return soon.
