Leave the car behind and discover the very best of Daylesford on foot. Whether you’re sipping cocktails at Winespeake, sharing pizza at Luna, enjoying breakfast at The Larder, dining at Bistro Terroir, Betel Boy or Koukla, catching a film at the historic Phoenix Cinema, or picking up local produce from Blakes Family Grocers and Daylesford Cheese & Provedore, everything is effortlessly within reach.

Beyond the township, you’re only minutes from the iconic Mill Markets, The Convent Gallery and less than ten minutes from the renowned Hepburn Bathhouse & Spa, where mineral-rich waters and indulgent treatments await.
Yet despite being right in the heart of town, Albert Cottage remains wonderfully peaceful and private. Tucked behind its charming façade, this beautifully restored 1856 double-fronted miner’s cottage offers a warm and inviting retreat where heritage charm meets modern comfort, creating the perfect place to relax after a day exploring Victoria’s renowned spa country.
Sleeping up to six guests and welcoming your four-legged family members too, Albert Cottage is perfectly suited to couples, families or groups of friends seeking a memorable Daylesford getaway. The flexible bedroom configuration makes it easy to accommodate a variety of group arrangements. The master bedroom features a luxurious king bed, while Bedrooms Two and Three can each be configured as either a king bed or two king singles, making the cottage equally suited to couples travelling together, families with children or friends enjoying a weekend away.
Inside, timeless period features blend seamlessly with contemporary comforts. High ceilings, light-filled living spaces and thoughtful modern conveniences create an atmosphere that feels instantly welcoming. The fully equipped kitchen features a Nespresso coffee machine, gas cooktop and electric oven, making it easy to prepare leisurely breakfasts before heading into town or relaxed dinners using fresh local produce. Ducted heating throughout keeps the cottage cosy during Daylesford’s cooler months, while complimentary Wi-Fi and smart entertainment ensure every stay is as comfortable as it is relaxing.
After a day of indulgence, retreat to the spacious bathroom and sink into the luxurious double spa bath, perfectly sized for two. Pour a glass of local wine, light a candle and let the stresses of everyday life simply melt away. Outside, the private courtyard provides another inviting space to gather, complete with a barbecue and outdoor dining for eight guests—perfect for leisurely breakfasts, long lunches with local produce, or warm summer evenings under the stars.
Discover Daylesford from the very heart of it all.
