Hazel House Ballarat

4.69 out of 5 average rating, 32 reviews6 days ago

We had such a lovely stay at Hazel House. The home is beautifully decorated with so many thoughtful touches that made it feel welcoming and comfortable from the moment we walked in. The lounge was especially cosy—I spent hours happily reading my book there—and the outdoor BBQ area was a great bonus that we made good use of. Sarah was a fantastic host—super responsive, friendly, and gave us all the detail we needed to enjoy our stay. The location is also spot on, just a short drive to Lake Wendouree. Would definitely stay again. Thanks for a wonderful getaway!

Lake Daylesford Villa2~ lake frontage pet friendly

4.9 out of 5 average rating, 40 reviews3 months ago

We found this gem on short notice as we wanted to spend New Years at Daylesford with our dog. It was just the perfect place for my husband, me and our fur baby. It’s located right near the shops and you get your own private access to the Lake so I was able to spend each morning going for a run. Such a beautiful place! Just be mindful of the insects but you are staying by the lake, so just bring some repellent and you’ll be fine. Thank you again for hosting us, Sally!

Little Poets @ Poets Lodge

5 out of 5 average rating, 4 reviews40 months ago

A must stay here and a must come back. Terrific location and an excellent property. The house and the 2 villas have everything you will need to make a fabulous stay. We , being 4 of us, ate , drank and slept our restful 4 days in the main house. Breakfast in the garden , lunch at the best Restaurants in town and sun downers on the front verandah. Dinner and a movie in the main dining/living room or dinner in the garden are obvious choices. Thank you so much for being excellent super hosts. We loved your property and the cleverness of the interior design and the rebuild of such a lovely old home. Also thank you for getting us into the Lakehouse Restaurent on NYE and the other fabulous restaurant suggestions. Our wives are coming back to go to the Eka Spa.

We are so glad we chose this property for our getaway! Kate was an absolutely amazing host — warm, proactive, and super responsive from the very beginning. The property itself is stunning and has so much to offer. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, and you can tell how much care has gone into making it feel like a home away from home. We instantly fell in love with the space and surroundings. Everything was just perfect for our two-night stay. We truly didn’t want to leave and cannot wait to come back again!

Goldie at Daylesford

4.79 out of 5 average rating, 66 reviews5 days ago

Our little family had a great time at Eloise’s place. It is very well located near the lake and close to the main strip, but also felt peaceful and secluded. The house was very comfortable and its elevation meant that the windows had wonderful views and light. We found the living area was surprisingly comfortable in the chilly mornings, especially with the space heater on. Finally, Eloise was very responsive and accommodating.
