Discover magical ‘Musk Farm Studio’ in beautiful Musk, near Daylesford – a whimsical, enchanting retreat inspired and crafted by celebrated interior designer Stuart Rattle. Nestled in an idyllic rural setting among rolling pastures and verdant hills, this intimate getaway for two merges artful design, botanical wonder and quiet seclusion.
The self-contained cottage sits within the larger Musk Farm estate and offers guests access to the extraordinary garden realm of 15 distinct “garden rooms” – from the formal Tank Garden and Rosarium to woodland walks and trellised enclaves.
The design is quintessentially English in spirit, with touches of quiet fantasy. A central cast-iron fireplace anchors the sitting space, evoking warm afternoons spent lost in reading or conversation.
All three main rooms in the cottage boast large hexagonal windows, flooding interiors with light and framing views of gardens and sky. Doors also open to a private pebbled courtyard, complete with BBQ, secluded trellis garden and an imposing blue cedar. From here, guests can glance across the apple walk to the main Musk Farm house.
The courtyard invites quiet moments – a picnic under dappled light, early-morning coffee, or a meditative pause with the breeze and birdsong.
The kitchenette is modest but functional: small oven, hotplate, microwave, basic cooking utensils, and a Nespresso coffee pod machine.
For modern comfort: Smart TV, WiFi, heating/cooling, linen, towels and toiletries supplied.
House rules: no pets allowed, no parties or events. Smoking is prohibited.
