Olive Grove

We had an enjoyable stay, but there were a few hiccups. — The house was bright and spacious and the grounds were lovely. Those who stayed in the cottage and the upstairs bedrooms were very happy.

Beautiful property, we loved our stay!

Great place. May come back again in spring for next trip.

Great house for a group stay but perhaps a little more management attention needed to the property — Location was quiet and picturesque, large living/dining/kitchen room with lovely views. Large outside deck.

Such a beautiful place filled with such warmth. Plenty of space for everyone to enjoy, the house was ginormous . Lots of different breakout zones and had a removed studio. We enjoyed the nature and wildlife, loved seeing little birds at the window and the 2 x alpacas roaming around. Absolutely loved our stay here, thank you 🙏🏼

Large house with many bedrooms, as others have said showers could be unreliable at times. Great location out of town in beautiful surroundings. A little maintenance is needed but otherwise a great place to stay!

The water was often cold to shower

Quiet location, serving the purpose required — Plenty of living space for a large group

House is in a beautiful farm. Big enough for a big number of families. House is clean. Heater is not very warm, maybe because house is too big. Hot water only run couple mins.

Exactly as described. We had people in every room and all felt like they had a private space. Great entertaining area and very good heating considering the cold weather and size of the house. Unfortunately the rubbish bins were full and we had intermittent issues with hot water for showers and washing up, but other than that we were very pleased with our stay. The hosts were very responsive too.

Fantastic house for a group, beautiful surroundings, all the amenities you would need.
The team at Discover Daylesford were very responsive and eager to help with any queries.
Highly recommend!

We stayed 3 nights, and overall the house was fantastic. It’s spacious with plenty of rooms, making it perfect for families or large groups. There are loads of bathrooms and toilets, which is definitely a plus.
However, we did run into a couple of issues during our stay. The hot water service wasn’t quite large enough to allow everyone to have a hot shower, which was a bit of a challenge. We also experienced some trouble with the gas ducted heating and unfortunately, we had to endure one cold night.
That said we notified the team about the heating, they were very responsive and addressed the issue immediately, which we really appreciated. Despite these setbacks, we still enjoyed our stay !

A must go place if you have extended family or friends. It was such a fascinating place for both adults and kids too. We all thoroughly enjoyed every moment in this place. Very proactive communication and clear instructions was hands on. Greatful that you extended our stay as complimentary due to power outage on Friday night. Glad we had wood fire. We only could stay only 2 weekend nights this time but ,will definitely come back and stay longer next time. Rooms and are pretty good

Things to address(1)As it was cold we struggled on Sunday morning with out hot water and no one was able to shower. If its in summer its fine but winter time its a real struggle.(2)No vaccum cleaner and we have to clean the whole house with normal broom even the carpets (3) Barbeque was pretty dirty with all grims from the people who used last and was not properly cleaned. (4) Lots of ants crawling through the ensuite bathroom window in the first floor. {suggestion: Accessible washing machine would be great}

A great stay!

all good at country side. just hot water is limited.

Lovely setting and venue. The Olive groves are lovely and the heritage train passed by which was fun to see. Passing Clouds winery nearby is excellent. Had a little issue with the heating system which Sam on the afterhours number was very friendly and helpful – talked us through an easy fix.

A bit stingy on the firewood for what we had paid but overall really enjoyed our stay.

The place is beautiful and private, but also a short drive to town if needed. The rooms were clean, except one room with ants! Luckily there is an (almost empty) insect spray that we used. Big enough for us, plenty of room to run around and explore. We had one rainy day, but that did not dampen our vacation. Great place!

Beautiful home. Great facilities. Amazing space

The house was big enough to accommodate a large group.
plenty of amenities and so much more.
it was perfect and only a short drive from town.
would definitely come back to stay again.

The views are magnificent, the house itself is well set and spacious. but there were multiple issues,
1. Hot water was a major issue due to the fact it was literally none existent. 3 out of the 12 guests successfully had a hot shower over 3 days.
2. Ducted heating, our guests spent over two hours trying to troubleshoot this issue. Phone calls to after hours support instructed the guests to turn power off then on, clean the filter which was absolutely filthy and still didn’t completely solve the problem. They spent over 2 hours of their vacation time on this issue. The bedrooms were freezing.
3. Open fire gorgeous but minimal firewood provided. The theory is they are trying to be sustainable, and we could purchase more wood if needed, which made us feel the owners were being cheap.
4. There were significant problems with ants.

I would not recommend Olive Grove in its current condition. The owners need to use some of their profits on some well overdue maintenance.

A wonderful space – we were 13 adults and the large lounge/kitchen area was perfect for our gathering. The grounds are lovely too, we did a couple of walks around the grounds and old railway track.

The Place was a lovely place.
We just had 3 little problem
1 internet has no password this stopped us using as a monitor for the baby as it will not connect.
2 the last bedroom has no central heating 1 of the children froze the first night the vent is there but not connected just taking in outside air it was 8 deg outside that night.
3 there was a bad odour coming from the bedroom next to the front door when we were leaving my wife used the ensuite and said that the toilet water had all drained out allowing the sewage smell to come into the house we weren’t using this ensuite as a baby was sleeping in the room.

Was a lovely, quiet and large property to spend quality time in.

However, the house must of been un-occupied for a little while and was quite dusty and every bedroom had cobwebs or deadflies around.
We had to vacuum the spaces before we could occupy especially as we have kids.

Overall was spacious and worked well for all our families.

Stunning homestead only 5 min drive outside of Daylesford. Had the whole property to ourselves. Gorgeous surrounds. Plenty of room for everyone. Great amenities to ensure our stay was free of any hassle! Great responsiveness from the property managers.

positive. 1 very spacious, floor plan works for our extended. family 7 adults, 6grandchildren.
2.pristine linens, fluffy towels
3 beautiful grounds family loved outdoor chess.4 excellent response from management.
negative. I wanted to give 5 stars , just a few disappointments.
1. no operation manuals, if you operate only online pdf information out there. The only hard copy instructions on fridge cleaning expectations of guests even though cleaning fee included.
2 No towel rails in any bathroom

Was great for a big group! Plenty of room!

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Olive Grove, and it was nothing short of a magical escape into the heart of Musk. Tucked away on 18 acres of pure serenity, this property is a testament to the beauty of country living.The seven spacious bedrooms and five stylish bathrooms was perfect for our large group, each room felt like a private sanctuary!

Excellent property with plenty of space for a few families (with kids). The rooms were spacious and the grounds were stunning – lots of play space for little ones and a beautiful spot to relax for the adults. The house was very well suited and comfortable for our group and just a short drive to Daylesford. We had a wonderful stay.

Fantastic place for a weekend get away

We had our whole family together for a weekend and absolutely loved it. Great with young kids, though we had to watch the littlies on the stairs. Space for kicking a ball, they loved the lake and watching the birds. There is enough space inside too without feeling on top of each other. Close enough to Daylesford for a coffee run or a cafe for coffee. We had a great time.

Perfect house for a large family gathering. Plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms and privacy, as well as large open-plan areas for family meals etc.
The kids loved running around the olive grove and the oldies enjoyed a wine in front of the open fire. The kitchen was perfect for catering for our family group.
The property location is perfect for a country escape. Only 7 mins down the road to Daylesford and close to the regions attractions.

Our experience at this house was overall a major let down. We booked a 3 nights stay for 13 guests at olive grove over the long weekend. Upon check in we noticed a unpleasant smell wafting from the back bedroom area. This consequently forced 2 of our guests who were allocated to sleeping in that room to seek alternative accommodation in the Daylesford region, this was another hidden expense that had not be expected nore planned for. Amongst the smell we noticed the house had a ant infestation in the kitchen, bathrooms and most of the bedrooms on the upper and lower levels of the house. We had read in previous reviews ants had been an issue in other guests stayed, so as a precautionary we reached out to discover Daylesford prior to our arrival that we had hoped this would not be an issue for us on our stay, sadly it was. We were compensated for some of our stay due to inconvenience but I would say this property needs maintenance considering the high price point.

Great place to stay with a large family group. We would stay there again, as it was very comfortable and private.

Beautiful place, it’s a great option for a weekend getaway.
Unfortunately vacuum cleaner didn’t work and it’s difficult to manage with 10 people on board.
Highly recommended
Thanks Discover Daylesford

Lovely house on a nice property with beautiful views and sunsets. Suited our large family, esp having the separate studio for a couple with a baby. Very close to Daylesford to get food and supplies.

Did have an issue with lots of ants in various rooms, although the property manager did offer to send someone to exterminate them (we used bug spray in the end). TV in the living room didn’t have channel 7 so we weren’t able to watch the footy, which was disappointing (couldn’t cast either). The split system running in the studio did have a loud piercing sound, so the ppl sleeping in the room opposite had trouble sleeping both nights (so maybe pack earplugs). Other than those few issues, would consider staying again.

Beautiful large house and surrounds. Clean and spacious inside for our 7 adults. Very effective central heating and generous amount of firewood provided. Lovely weekend thanks!

Spent a couple days at Olive Grove with extended family and found the residence meet all expectations and requirements. The house a was well appointed and comfortable for such a large group. The idyllic surroundings was just the icing the cake.

Wonderful place to stay with such beautiful surroundings. We were there for work but hopefully will be back to explore the surroundings more as it seems like such a beautiful place. We will be back!

Its such a beautiful place, beautiful scenery, nature and a pleasant place to stay. We were wowed right at first sight and what a great place it is/was. We wished we were staying longer.

Planning to visit again because we didn’t get enough of the place.

We had a beautiful stay with extended family. The property is stunning and bedrooms are lovely!

The place was beautiful, the views of the olive groves were spectacular. The kitchen sink was stained, for over $3000 for a weekend, I would think that they kitchen sink would have been sparkling white, but it was stained brown. Not enough toilet paper for 15 people. Heavier doonas on beds, (blankets) , it was quiet cold during the night. Heater vents may needs a dust/clean. Spider webs behind bed heads, and the sofa in the back sitting room. Other than that, it was a great stay, the property is gorgeous. There was a nespresso/delonghi coffee machine, but no coffee pods.

The house, and location was beautiful!!

But we were very disappointed for the amount we paid how dirty and the bugs that was in all the rooms.
No tea,coffee or sugar in the small house.
Not enough toilet paper, and nothing was even left for us as a welcome gift.. for the amount we paid you guys could do a lot more.

We were very disappointed as this house was for me and my whole for my wedding as we got married up there. We mentioned this at the time of booking and you guys didn’t even leave a note or anything.

We paid way to much for this house.

lovely location, house was so big everyone was able to have down time on their own, everything was good the only thing that was a down fall were all the bug that would come into the house and randomly pop up. but other that a great place for big families 🙂

Beautiful location, enough space for a big group. 14 of us enjoyed the venue without any problems. But the garden and pond area wasn’t accessible due to heavy weeding. It would’ve been better if lawn mowing was done prior to our arrival. Also, guest wifi has proper signal only for living area and other areas wifi signals very weak. As we had couple of friends working online we had some issues with the wifi. Laundry facilities are there but no dryer. Other than that place was beautiful and nice location for a holiday.

Excellent and highly recommendable — Such a beautiful house and well presented

Beautiful house and some great family memories made here. Heaps of room for every one to retreat to themselves. Needs maintenance and there are things listed that are not available to use (coffee machine has no frother, no pods.) No Tea or sugar and no salt. Feels like the cleaner was in a rush, dead flies, showers not cleaned, leftover rubbish from previous guests in the kitchen. Location is perfect and the gardens are beautiful! Very homely, and the hosts created a seamless check in 🙂

Olive Grove was perfect for our family gathering of 15 adults for Mum’s 80th over the weekend. The weather was stormy which meant staying indoors, but that didn’t diminish our experience too much. The living/dining/kitchen space was large enough to cater for a large group and not be under each other’s feet, with enough secluded spaces for those wanting some quiet time. Beds were comfy with nice linen and plenty of pillows. Cooking is a breeze in the large kitchen and the new BBQ was a hit for big breakfast cook-ups.
The Cottage was perfect for Mum as she could escape the activity of the main house but be only a few steps down the verandah in her self-contained space.
We’d love to come back in finer weather and utilise the outdoor dining and spaces a bit more. Mum suggested having Christmas there!

An incredible stay! So cosy and the home itself had a lovely warm and generous feeling. Great for large groups, we all felt like we had our own little nooks throughout the house to just chill and large general areas for us all to gather. Very well designed! Restful and amazing views. Will stay again given the chance. Thank you team 🤍

I highly recommend this stunning large modern home and surrounds. We were a group of 13 and were easily accommodated. We loved the massive kitchen and both the huge indoor and outdoor dining tables. The Olive Grove is beautiful and the views from the house were a real standout. A few things that would have enhanced the experience are a coffee machine in the kitchen and a new BBQ (the current one is old and rusty and barely usable). Also, the garden around the house needs a bit of an update, especially the chess pieces which are unusable.
I would definitely stay there again.

We had a wonderful weekend at The Olive Grove. Our family and friends were impressed with the beautiful surroundings, the comfy beds, the spacious kitchen/dining/living spaces and the view from the 2nd floor deck. The property would definitely benefit from a new bbq though. It was unusable, which was a shame as we had planned a catered bbq for the Saturday night.

great getaway for a big group — nice linen, comfy beds, well appointed kitchen, heaps of space

A magnificent property close to Daylesford with scenic views and ample room for our large extended family (13 people, including 4 young children ). Minor issues with being a bit cold (not helped by awful weather) and lack of a manual/compendium on arrival, however once settled in we had an great time and were quite warm, comfortable and relaxed during our stay. It’s a beautiful property.

The property is absolutely incredible, lovely big modern rooms and outside is beautiful too. You really feel away from it all. we loved the open fireplace and couldn’t recommend it enough.

Great location and house. Very spacious.

Great place for a large group. We really enjoyed our stay at the Olive Grove.

The entire stay at the property was marvelous! An amazing location amongst the orchard and close enough for a quick stop into town. The communication with the host was prompt and helpful with a strong sense of hospitality. Would definitely recommend for a relaxing Retreat.

We had a fabulous stay in this gorgeous holiday home. We loved exploring the property and enjoying family time by the large open fire. The views of sunset were spectacular! We would love to come back!

Great location. Perfect for a large group.

The olive grove was the perfect stay for our group. Well laid out in picturesque location.

Such a great stay! Beautiful accommodation and surrounds. Perfect for us 11 adults, 2 kids and 3 babies. So spacious and even more beautiful than the photos. We didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend!

What a sensational place! Perfectly placed just out of Daylesford, beautifully decorated and appointed.
Fantastic communication and easy checkin.
The grounds are glorious and even though the weather was bad we could spend time around the open fire.
Beds are extremely comfortable and there are plenty of pillows.
The table was set for our arrival with fresh flowers, a very nice touch.
I would highly recommend and will definitely be back.

We had a lovely stay at Olive Grove and would love to stay again. The house was beautiful with plenty of room for the whole family. We enjoyed bbqs on the deck with beautiful views, not only from the deck but inside as well. The big open fireplace was very cosy and the large kitchen was great to cook in.
The grounds were lovely, great open spaces for the kids to run around in. We didn’t feel the need to go anywhere as the house had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend away! Thoroughly recommend for groups or families.

We had a fantastic time here.
The house is massive and well appointed. It was great to stay in a house that sleeps a lot of people and has the accessories to match (big kitchen, big dining table, lots of dining chairs, large lounge, lots of bathrooms)

Overall fabulous with a few tweaks it could have been amazing — The house and location was amazing and very peaceful. I always cook up a batch of scones for afternoon tea for the Chillout weekend and the Cooker in the home was EXCEPTIONAL. Beds were comfy with high quality Linen

Simply amazing!!

A fabulous venue, both the house and its property. Really well set-up with plenty of space for our 10 adults + 2 toddlers. Great entertaining areas inside and outside. Excellent facilities throughout and large, very comfortable bedrooms for all. We arrived on a hot afternoon to walk into a very comfortable environment. Communications beforehand and check-in could not have been easier. We’re very likely to return for more family celebrations.

Will strongly recommend this place to our friends. The lookout of the lake is so beautiful, we stay beside it every evening and had so many beautiful pictures. The house is very clean and really worth it’s price.

Beautiful, abundance of space, neat, clean and surplus of amenities makes this an absolute delight. The property is well maintained too.

Great location, spacious, clean, quality appliances and comfy beds. The grounds were well kept and we enjoyed walking around the olive trees, lake and gazebo. Daylesford is less than 10 minutes drive away and quiet location as house is set back from the main road. Only downside is the lack of a coffee machine, although tea bags, sugar and instant coffee are provided.

beautiful, clean and perfect location close to town.

What a beautiful house Olive Grove was perfect for a large family gathering with multiple couples had all the modern comforts and luxuries of home for catering to a larger group. Kids really enjoyed exploring the property, would definitely recommend for family getaways and would stay again.

Lots of room, beautifully furnished and great spot for a girls weekend

Absolutely brilliant stay.
The house itself was immaculate and the surroundings just stunning.
Thank you Ant and Sam for helping to make an amazing weekend that won’t soon be forgotten.
We can’t wait to stay again! 🙂

Thank you very much for letting us stay at your beautiful property. We booked very last minute and it was presented well and was still very warm and welcoming. A very relaxing vibe and very homely which was much needed for a bit of R&R

Beautiful house, easy check in and would definitely stay again.
