Harvest Cottage
Catherine and James were very friendly, and accommodating during our stay. I can see that a lot of thought has been put into curating the beautiful cottage. With it being only 20 minutes from Daylesford, and 20 minutes from Ballarat., It was a perfect Inbetween spot for day trips, and accommodating other activities. Would definitely love to stay with him again in the future!

The Mia Mia, Newstead
We were lucky enough to find Mia Mia while we were waiting to move into our new house so we had a lengthy stay. It was lovely to have such a homely place that was peaceful and comfortable. Fire for the colder nights, very comfortable beds, functional bathrooms, kitchen and laundry and we particularly enjoyed all the bird life around the home. A very easy walk into town to grab the necessities, a coffee or a pub meal. Thank you so much for your hospitality Bronwyn and Kieran.
