We had booked a weekend at the cottage but had to make changes to our plans. They allowed us to bring the booking forward even though they don't normally take bookings on weekdays. It just meant we didn't get breakfast on day 1 but they provided bowls and spoons as we had breakfast provisions with us.. it was very clean, the bed was quite comfortable and there is a nice balcony with seating provided

Deirdre Australia

Tim and Brian are the most amazing hosts. You can see the pride they take in their home and hosting. The breakfast was amazing and the location is perfect. Everything was set up and timed perfectly, with compliance and extra effort put into keeping Old Chilli Covid Safe. Get that booking and make the trip!! It is worth every cent and moment

Faizan Australia

The home-made breakfast is fantastic, different on each day. Tim and Brian are very friendly, and of course the animals too. The room is clean and fresh. Loved the spa.

Doris Australia

The gardens were beautiful and it was very pleasant sitting on the back verandah overlooking the garden. The breakfasts were very tasty.

Francesca Australia

Delicious breakfast. Location is off the road and very peaceful.

Jim Australia

The breakfast was exceptional, kept us going through our hikes all day. It is quiet location yet only 500m to centre of town. The view to wake up to was lovely and relaxing and the spa bath was awesome

Andrew Australia

We loved everything about Old Chilli. Great location close to town but had an awesome country feel. Our hosts were very accommodating and were very knowledgeable about Daylesford and offered lots of suggestions on on things to do. Breakfast was included and was amazing. We had breakfast both mornings with another couple and chatted over breakfast for ages. Loved that nothing was rushed. Check out was 3pm which was an added bonus. The room itself was styled beautifully and very warm and comfortable. The views were amazing. Will definitely be back.

Susie Australia

Lovely hosts. The breakfast is delicious and the hosts did everything they could to make our stay enjoyable. Loved sitting out by the fire looking at the stars after dinner each evening!

Abbey Australia

we loved everything about our stay! the location is perfect, nice and close to the Main street of Daylesford, and so close to surrounding attractions and wineries. so close we walked to diners and lunches! Brian and Tim are very welcoming, they made the most incredible breakfast every morning and every detail had so much thought to it. The bed was so comfy and the house and room so beautiful. nice and cosy but with plenty of space to relax. Highly recommended!

Host Info

Host Review Score
Old Chilli is a purpose built B&B which offers privacy for our guests but also allows them to experience a taste of country life in the heart of Daylesford. We have tried to make the property as energy efficient as possible and grow a lot of our own fruit and vegetables and even produce our own honey. We are a friendly bunch with Alpacas, a Kelpie and we normally have a kangaroo or two hopping around the yard!
We are a Canadian and an Australian and we love to travel having lived in a few places our latest adventure was living in Buenos Aires for three months. We are learning Spanish and enjoy our life in Daylesford. We love good food and wine and Brian is a great cook who loves to experiment with different breakfast dishes depending whats in season.
We are a short walk to the main street, but overlook a paddock (for the alpacas) and bush land. We are off the main road so it is very tranquil and peaceful but if you need a good coffee a great cafe is just a stroll away.
