    Fabulous location, walked to town and the Lake House and around the lake. Beautiful view of the lake. Comfortable seating and beds. Kitchen looked to have anything you could need. Given its age it is a quirky little building with tons of character.

Company info

Hi I'm Vanessa from GuestBuddy, I will be administering reservations and looking after guests on behalf of the owners of Dawn. I have been working in accommodation management for about 2years and have had hospitality business for over 10 years. I live in Ballarat - I recently moved after living in Daylesford and Musk for a year. I love visiting Daylesford and Hepburn its a beautiful region and there is always a good excuse to be found to take a day trip up to the region! I really enjoy hosting and looking after guests, and I look forward to looking after you too. I have just listed Cara and cant wait for your to enjoy the property at your next holiday in Daylesford. Contactless self-check-in is offered to all guests and a 24/7 guests phone number, along with our office number, and direct email is provided to you after booking.

Property info

Cara's 2 queen bedrooms can each be split into single beds, and is popular with families, couples on holiday together or four friends seeking an adventure in Daylesford. Each Ensuite features a shower, vanity and toilet, and the step-down to the bathroom has handrails to assist guests who may need mobility support. The dining/living flows to the full kitchen, with picture windows and French doors onto a deck that offers gorgeous views of the lake. Imagine the smell of freshly brewed coffee while listening to your favourite tunes as you cook up a delicious breakfast! You can even grill up some ribs while watching the game on a large, flat-screen TV and stream movies with the complimentary WIFI. Heating and cooling are comfortably covered by the split system, panel heaters and wood fire. We provide guests with a firewood starter kit for thier needs upon arrival. The lake is one reason why this town has become a tourist destination. The tranquil waters and scenic views of nature are just what anyone needs to escape from the hustle-and-bustle that comes with city life. Those who come to Cara quickly find themselves escaping into their own little world

Neighborhood info

Daylesford - Hepburn - A Perfect Getaway Daylesford is the perfect weekend getaway, but if you really want to spoil yourself, take an extended break and stay for the week to truly get a sense of what a cosy B&B home away from home can offer. You, your friends or your family can indulge in the natural springs, the trendy hangouts and enjoy the nature treks too. You can find many unique and interesting things to do all within walking distance of most of our properties, or take a short drive around town to find the local treasures. With wineries, breweries and a string of local pubs there are plenty of venues to celebrate special moments or relax in style or comfort - take your pick. For the adventure, check out the local walking and bike trails, hire a canoe, take a game of golf, or even hire a hot air balloon. The organic foodies, and arts and crafts lovers will appreciate the Daylesford markets or the 7 day Mill Markets which often feels like a trendy historical village where you are sure to find items you too had from your childhood, it's a great place to take the kids before heading off to the chocolate mill for coffees and hot chocolates.
