The Barn at Weatherboard
The stay was wonderful, inviting and picturesque. Just a walk away from scenic trails to the top of a hill and beside a stunning lake, we loved the cute cozy cabin and look forward to coming back soon! Thank you again for your hospitality and warmth Sarah & Geoff.

Gold Fields by Tiny Away
Great stay, Phil is very friendly

Ellenslie
Doreen’s place is absolutely gorgeous! If you are heading to Ballarat, look no further. Great location - walking distance to Sovereign Hill, 5 min drive from central shops and restaurants. Massive space, especially great if you have kids. Our 4 year old loved the kids area with books, toys. Our family was very comfortable and we had a very comfortable stay.

A Cosy Home Away From Home
We really enjoyed staying at the Cottage. Very well presented. Great experience booking and communicating. It was perfrct for our family of 4 as a base to visit Soverign Hill. Only tiny thing worth noting is there is only one 2 1/2 seater couch in the cute front lounge, so if you have 4 or more guests you can't all sit in the lounge to watch TV. We could squish 3 on the couch and brought one of the 6 dining chairs from the adjoining kitchen in for extra seating which wasn't quite as relaxing. Tiny issue as it is a gorgeous cottage, large open space in the kitchen and bedrooms and beds were perfect. Also really comforting to have off street parking. And a lovely coffee shop only 200 metres away. Really enjoyed ourselves and highly highly recommend Thank you.

Loviziah Cottage an old soul with new bones
We felt at home and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The added extras aren’t always provided but we definitely appreciated them here - tea and milk, the pantry with glad wrap, the laundry with detergent, the bathroom and hair dryer. Neat and tidy with lots of charm 😊

Balconies Lakeview Apt
Great location and friendly staff, would come back here again

Lakeside Suite 3
Had a wonderful stay, the place was everything as described, spacious, very clean and well equipped with everything you need, and we especially liked that it was so close to Lake Daylesford. The balcony backed out onto the lake and was the prefect spot to relax and watch the sunset. Something to note for anyone with mobility issues, this suite (3) can only be accessed by a slightly steep flight of stairs which proved to be a little difficult for my elderly mum, would’ve have been great if this was included in the details beforehand. There also seemed a slight problem with toilet seat (wasn’t fitted properly) and some information contained in the ‘information file’ in the suite contradicted with the details (check-out times) that was provided. However overall, we had a fabulous stay, it is a gorgeous place and would definitely recommend!

Lakeside Suite 2
Booked this property for my parents to stay on their wedding anniversary. They were very impressed with the property and loved their stay. It had everything they needed and was in a beautiful location. Communication was prompt and booking was very easy. Would recommend!

Family Apartment on Main, Steps to Sovereign Hill
Very happy with our stay, had everything we needed. Very clean, easy to find, excellent communication and instructions from Linda, very friendly and responded promptly

Lakeside Suite 4
The lakeside suite was serene. Tidy clean and quiet with a beautiful view of the lake. The lakeside suite is walking distance from Vincent Street and the lake is easily accessible. The decking could do with a little bit of TLC and being on the lower level we could hear our neighbours above us. Nonetheless, our stay was lovely.

Luxury on Webster – Upscale 2BR Close to Hospital
We have stayed here on several occasions, and will be back. Great location with off street parking, close to the lake and the city

Lakeside Suite 1
Beautiful outlook over Lake Daylesford, fabulous large balcony to relax on. Easy to walk around the lake, and up to the restaurants and shops. Spacious bedroom, bathroom and living space. Super comfortable and clean.

Ryans Ranch Retreat
Our two visits 'bookended' a two week holiday in Tasmania, via Ferry rides with car. We very much appreciated being able to visit and stay at Christines accommodation.

Lake Orchard Villas - House 3
We had a beautiful stay. Accommodation was spotless and resembled photographs. Angela was helpful and accommodating as we changed our dates last minute. We would definitely return. Thank you.

Stephanie’s pet friendly 2 bedroom Cottage.
I'd highly recommend Stephanie's country cottages to anyone looking for a peaceful bush getaway. A friendly and gracious host, we felt right at home straight away and the cottage was lovely and comfortable. The garden is a fantastic place to do some star gazing, then have a copy fire to warm back up. Just loved it. Thank you for having us Stephanie!

2 Min Walk to Sovereign Hill - Pizza Oven & Wi-Fi
it was great location and clean. thank you

Château Rosemund - '...your home away from home’.
The location of this property is excellent — within a 10-minute drive to all the local restaurants and Lake Daylesford. The interior is simply yet comfortably furnished, making it a great option for a short family getaway. If you’re not bothered by being close to the main road, it’s not an issue. For families considering a longer stay, having a dryer would make it even more perfect.

Oak Cottage - Daylesford - 200m from everything
Great location easy walk to the main area. Only a small house, but served our needs. Even though it was a cold weekend, the heating was able to get the house warm. Would stay again!

Bidwell, a charming hideaway near Lake Daylesford
Had a fabulous stay at this gorgeous little cottage. Close to the lake and a stroll into town to cafes and restaurants. Located in beautiful peaceful surroundings with secure fencing for my dog. I enjoyed sitting on the porch watching the little wrens hopping around. I felt right at home staying at Bidwell Cottage and left feeling so relaxed. I hope to come back soon.

Linton Retreat with Spa (Hot Tub / Jacuzzi)
Absolutely the best Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in! This cottage is an absolute gem! Tucked away in a peaceful spot, yet so accessible. The place was immaculate, beautifully styled, and incredibly cosy. The spa was the perfect touch to unwind at the end of the day making the whole experience that little bit more luxurious and special. Every little detail had been thoughtfully considered, and it made us feel so welcome and relaxed from the moment we arrived. Can’t recommend this place highly enough!
