Clergy Cottage

Great little cottage, the church didn’t seem to be in active use so it was even more private than we thought

This loft like apartment setup was adorable and filled with some great features that cater to many needs. My only wish was the hot tub was a true hot tub, the prescribed setting of 35c is a bit to cool for my taste in 9 degree weather. That said it was a peaceful and relaxing stay

Such a lovely, quiet place to stay! The location was in a great spot – with a lovely view, close proximity to walking trails and was private.

A beautiful cosy getaway. Very serene. So glad we visited in winter, breathtaking. With the fog and the rain we still had the roos, the frogs, the cockeys and a crackling fire and spa to create a perfect getaway. Clean, well appointed, gorgeous location and with history… Just amazing to be able to experience. Thank you for creating a perfect and special experience.

Lovely, clean space. Perfect for a weekend getaway.

We loved our stay. Location was picturesque and the place was warm and cosy during a couple of cold days. It was spacious and relaxing, inside and out.

Beautiful little spot. I’d say it was a little expensive given how small the house is, sharing the property with the larger church so a lack of privacy and that there is nothing to do close by. Nonetheless, very cute house, lovely hosts, nice spot that’s very peaceful. Thank you very much for our stay.

Lovely place, very relaxing and quiet. Couldn’t fault the place or the hosts.

The place was absolutely lovely, had all the amenities for a great and relaxing weekend escape.

Lovely and peaceful place to stay

Nice spot for a weekend away!

Clergy House is just as described. It was beautifully appointed, private and comfortable.
Due to location be prepared to cook at the cottage which is well provided for.
We barbecued and used stove and oven.
The spa was lovely and the outlook from the cottage gorgeous.

A beautiful historical town with accommodation to match. Very relaxing

Overall an amazing get away spot. Amazing house and the spa and wood fire is the highlight. Make sure you are self relia — Very boutique

Can’t recommend enough, we had the best most peaceful time and can’t wait to come back!

Amazing place to stay. beautiful location, quiet with top class facilities and amenities. highly recommend the Clergy as a place to stay. Spa is stunning way to relax.

We enjoyed our stay. Quality accommodation in a peaceful and scenic setting. After a long day the spa was wonderful for relaxation.

Lovely, peaceful stay in a very spacious cottage.

Amazing place! It checks all the boxes for a quiet, relaxing weekend away. Bed was super comfy, fire place is great and the space is amazing – everything has been thought of. We watched kangaroos and bird life go past from the comfort of the fire.
Two hot tips – if you like the fire roaring all weekend then you can pick up more firewood at the service station which is walking distance. Also the spa drops from time to time, keep an eye on it.
The town is also extremely cute and is worth a wander around! Can’t wait to go back!

Beautiful, relaxing and quiet weekend away! We throughly enjoyed the open fire and the spa.
No issues keeping warm in the cooler weather with more than sufficient heating!

There seemed to be no one at the church which shares an outdoor area which made it super private. I feel if someone was staying there that we would be imposing too much though.

Lovely and clean and couldn’t be happier with our weekend accommodation!

We had such a beautiful stay at clergy house in Taradale. The home is full of charm, thoughtfully renovated while keeping its original character intact.

The setting is quiet and scenic. We especially loved the spa and wood fire, the well-equipped kitchen, and the small touches throughout that made the stay feel extra special.

It’s a perfect place to unwind, reconnect, and enjoy the slower pace of the countryside. Just a short drive to Castlemaine and Daylesford too if you’re looking to explore. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a serene stay.

This accommodation is perfect for those seeking rest and relaxation, as the surrounding area is very quiet. The small town of Castlemaine is about 15 minutes away, and Daylesford is approximately 25 minutes away. Since there are no supermarkets nearby, we recommend doing your grocery shopping in advance.

We loved our stay. So relaxing and you get everything you need. It was a gorgeous property and the spa was great.

The Clergy Cottage was a perfect spot for a weekend get away. Quiet, private and easy to get to. It had beautifully appointed amenities, and lovely surroundings for a winter walk. The fireplace, and spa added to the ambiance and made for a lovely, restful and relaxing weekend. Highly recommend a visit!

Scenic, peaceful, cosy honeymoon retreat — It was easy to get to, very convenient to our event and absolutely cosy and adorable.

We absolutely LOVED our little vacay to the clergy cottage. The cottage was so beautifully designed, every single detail was thoughtfully deisgned from the beautiful countertops, the clever folding awning, flyscreens on all the doors/ windows, the zip tap.. so well appointed. The cottage backs onto a paddock and the views were so gorgeous with a friendly neighborhood horse, ducks and kangaroos. Castlemaine and kyneton are in close proximity for cafes/restaurants, but taradale has a cute little country drinking hole/ wine bar and you can grab a coffee from Ox pottery.

One call out is that you share the courtyard and outdoor areas with the owner who occupies the church (although they werent there when we were), not a big deal but wasnt listed in description. Highly reccomend

Beautiful accommodation. Wonderful amenities especially Hot tub and Fire.

Beautiful stay from the house to the scenery. Didn’t want to leave such a nice place to unwind and relax. Had an awesome time and couldn’t recommend it enough the house is very well thought out and cozy.

Clergy cottage was fantastic! The house was so well designed and thought out. It was very cosy and we absolutely loved the hot tub and fire place (we had a cold February weekend!). Everything was thought of and it was a true escape from the city. We loved exploring Castlemaine which is less than 20 minutes by car. We will be back!

Great place in a nice quite rural setting

My wife and I had an amazing time at this property. It was private, quiet, and the surroundings were picturesque. The only contact we had was with the neighbouring horse. The inside was clean from top to bottom upon arrival with easy access to the property. We found no issues with any of the amenities provided, unfortunately we were unable to locate the toaster and kettle that were listed and pictured. The hot tub was easy to use, clean, and very relaxing. The location of the property was great as it was only 15-20 minutes away from local towns like Castlemaine and Kyneton. We explored The Mill in Castlemaine, a collection of stores, antique sellers, and restaurants. We highly recommend the fresh coffee! Overall it was a fantastic getaway, we would definitely book here again.

The location and cabin were beautiful, made for a perfect anniversary getaway

We had a lovely stay at Clergy Cottage in Taradale. It was a beautiful and comfortable house in a cute country town. The Spa was great to relax in enjoy the ambiance. The house itself was super clean, had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Only a 15 minute drive into Kyenton for great restaurants and shops. Would definitely stay again! We had a great time.

Such a beautiful property. Had the most amazing weekend! Big thank you to the hosts. Would highly recommend.

Very peaceful area which was just what I was looking for! Beautiful windows in the cottage that you can look onto the fields and watch the horses! Having the stove set up and ready to light was a lovely touch. Thank you for a beautiful stay, looking forward to returning already!

The perfect getaway if you love peace and quiet with nobody around. It felt like a hotel suite in the countryside with super modern amenities. They thought of every detail to truly make our time away special.

Pros;
– Perfect for two
– Quiet
– Indoor fire with wood provided
– Comy robes
– Full kitchen
– Spa (just be sure to check temp doesn’t drop randomly, we had to check every few hours to keep putting it up because it kept trying to self cool)
– Beautiful scenery.
– We especially loved all the products provided in the bathroom.
– They even have a chilled filtered water system inside for drinking as well as a coffee machine.
– It was super easy to get a hold of the host and they were super attentive with helping us with an issue.

Cons;
– 3 nights wasn’t long enough

My partner and I very much enjoyed our time there, we would highly recommend it.

Thanks a lot team!!

We really enjoyed our stay in the cottage. It’s been beautifully renovated and a prefect size for a lovely weekend away. The kitchen is beautiful and such a feature of the cottage. We enjoyed a bbq and a relaxing spa. The spa was definitely a highlight and helped us feel very relaxed. Not sure if anyone lives in the church however there was no one there when we were there so it felt very private and quiet.
We were keen for some R&R so didn’t explore the area too much. And the cottage is a beautiful place to stay in and enjoy each others company. I would definitely recommend ☺️

We loved our stay here. A perfectly set up airbnb, with everything you need from a fireplace with provided wood to a fully stocked kitchen. It’s a lovely place to relax, cook dinner and use the spa, with provided bath robes.

The town is very small and lovely to walk around. It’s close to Castlemaine and Kyneton for great day trips.

Would highly recommend for a getaway from Melbourne, wish we were staying longer.
