Great luxury choice for a Daylesford getaway. — Fabulous location next to Wombat Hill Botanic gardens and sensational cafe. Gorgeous place. We loved the views, beds, spas and gas fires. Excellent, responsive service from property managers.
July 2026
We had a lovely weekend. The house was peaceful with lots of space and privacy. Being surrounded by nature and backing on to the Botanical Gardens made the weekend very relaxing.
Will definitely stay here again.
July 2026
We stayed as a group of friend. It had enough space in the living areas, nice kitchen/ dining, TV in every bedroom. Great views all around.
The driveway was steep, but fine to manoeuvre. Excellent heating in the middle of winter, will stay again.

We had a fantastic family weekend here for my dad’s 80th birthday. The house was perfect for an extended family stay with lots of different spaces, brilliant location next to the gardens and a short walk to town, a well supplied kitchen and plenty of bathrooms 😉
Would definitely stay here again.

The perfect house for a weekend away with friends. The view was sensational. The house was very quiet and private with enough space for us all. Only wish we had been able to use the outside deck and table setting but the weather didn’t allow it.
May 2026
It is a very private place with a great view, and since there is a park right next to it, it is also good for morning runs.
April 2026
We had a great two nights here, perfect location! The house was cosy, clean and didn’t feel cramped with ten of us staying.
March 2026
Stayed with a group of 8 friends for a long weekend. House was a great size for our group, with plenty of shared space in the dining/living area and outdoor deck, with bedrooms separated upstairs if someone wanted some piece and quiet. House is a short walk from town, backs onto the botanic gardens which you can access through the side fence, and is in a very peaceful location with beautiful views. Thanks for a wonderful stay!
January 2026
Beautiful place with million dollar views. Clean and nicely presented. 10 mins walk to the Daylesford town center. I will certainly book again.

A beautiful house nestled amongst the gardens. It had everything we needed and wasn’t too far from the Main Street.
Beds were comfy and the heating worked extremely well!
It was the perfect little walk through the gardens to the Wombat Hill Cafe.

A nice, cozy private place with easy access to the botanical gardens next door. Beautiful sunset views and comfortable king beds. Highly recommended for a big group getaway. Thanks to the hosts for being flexible and maintaining prompt communication throughout the stay.

We had a lovely stay at Discover Daylesford Such a peaceful spot to relax and unwind. You feel tucked away but are so close to the vibrant town. Location is brilliant, property backs onto the stunning botanical gardens. The home definitely needs upgrading, and a really good clean. The external we quite untidy and the garden definitely needs some love. We where hoping to enjoy the view but the hedges haven’t been trimmed in some time so you cannot enjoy the view you went for unless upstairs but that’s the whole point of the big balcony downstairs for family’s to enjoy. The patio upstairs and outdoor furniture really needs a clean. All in all a good stay but unfortunately the place needs some love and for that price you would definitely expect it to be a little more well kept. A real bonus would have been if it was a little more kid friendly with a fence around the property and a rail for the stairs for the elderly because getting up there is quite hard for them with that many stairs
November 2024
The house was so lovely with amazing views from the bedrooms! The Discover Daylesford team were also super friendly and responsive! I would definitely stay here again!

My family and I recently enjoyed a delightful two-night stay at Discover Daylesford, and it was everything we had hoped for and more. The accommodation was exactly as described – cozy, comfortable, and filled with character that truly reflects the charm of Daylesford.
The check-in process was smooth, and we were impressed by the cleanliness and attention to detail in our cottage. It was clear that great care had been taken to ensure everything was immaculate and ready for our arrival.
The cottage itself was spacious for our family, with ample room for everyone to relax and unwind. The kitchen was well-equipped. The beds were comfortable, ensuring a restful night’s sleep after exploring the beautiful surroundings of Daylesford during the day.
Overall, our experience at Discover Daylesford was exceptional.
Thank you to the team at Discover Daylesford for a wonderful stay.

An exceptional retreat, nestled in serene seclusion, offering a very private atmosphere perfect for fostering family closeness. The added delight of leisurely strolls through the park behind the property enhances the overall experience. Undoubtedly, a cherished getaway that leaves us eagerly anticipating future visits.
January 2024
The house was large enough for our group of 7, and the bedding arrangement was flexible (on request). Great outdoor area. The house looked tired compared to the photos and there were a few maintenance issues with windows that wouldn’t open and toilets/sinks that didn’t flush. Overall, still a lovely stay.
December 2023
Comfortable beds! — The secluded area
November 2023
Loved our stay here! Perfect for a girls weekend. Large, king sized beds. Walk up and through the gardens to get to Wombat St (Cliffys, Beppe & Sunday market) and also an easy stroll to the Main Street. Be mindful if you have lots of cars the parking can be tricky, and there are quite a few stairs up to the property. Thanks for letting us stay!

Great location & the place was beautiful. So lucky to spend my 30th birthday here 🙂

Our adult family group had an enjoyable, relaxing weekend. The house is well set up for larger groups to enjoy, great fa — The house was warm thus welcoming on arrival on a cold day. It is in a peaceful setting, has lovely views, and lots of space. The facilities are set up well for a group, with plenty of comfortable seating for all of us to relax in – something many properties overlook. Generous number and good sized bathrooms to cater for all too. Great communication with the hosts who make themselves easy to contact.
July 2023
The house was beautifully situated on Wombat Hill with accommodation ample for a large family. The house had wonderful views and a very peaceful and quiet setting. Daylesford is a lovely town and provides a good base for day trips to many other small towns in the Hepburn Shire. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Perfect property for our girls weekend away! The secluded location on the edge of the botanic gardens is perfect and wonderful to walk through the gardens to the cafe in the morning for breakfast.

We enjoyed our stay at the house, but were disappointed that there was no outdoor hot tub as described.
Heating did not work at times and there was no cleaning products to maintain cleanliness during our stay.
Otherwise it was a lovely stay.

12 of us hired this amazing house for a long weekend. We had such a wonderful stay the property is magical. You can sit out on the front balcony and enjoy the view with a morning coffee. The back of the house is perfect for a afternoon bbq, it’s sheltered from the wind and gets plenty of sun. The property has all the bells and whistles you need to really enjoy yourself. Ant and Sam were excellent communicators and made sure we had everything we needed. The check-in process was super easy. The house was big enough to easily accomodate 12 of with 4 toilets and 2 huge bathrooms.

December 2020
An amazing property with breathtaking views. The photos can’t do it justice. It’s an amazing accomodation for 2-3 families with all the necessary amenities. The house is located in an amazing spot on the edge of the garden so you can take a wander through a beautiful green space and end up at the wombat cafe. Every area of the house is thoughtfully put together from the front deck with the views of the infinite vistas to the backyard with space to sit down with a book or just enjoy a drink in the evening among pretty lights. The rooms are comfortable with adequate baths.
A special mention to Ant & Sam for their prompt responses, local tips and help when we needed it on the property. Ant made sure we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday through his personal touch.

This place is stunning, the photos do it no justice. Customer service was impeccable would definitely stay here again:)
