    It’s quite expensive but a lovely indulgence for a couple of days.

    The cottage lacks for nothing. It was well equipped, comfortable and warm. Great outlook over the lake. A perfect home.

    Beautiful location on the lake. Lovely modern bathroom and small but well equipped kitchen. So relaxing and peaceful - we had a wonderful stay. We were only 2 people but we each had our own room with double bed and lovely bed linen. The house has good heating so you can be assured of being comfortable. The host was very helpful which we really appreciated. We would highly recommend.

    Mood Lighting meant it was very dark, making night time reading difficult and a bedside lamp in the third bedroom would have been good otherwise excellent in all other respects.

    Host was very helpful and we enjoyed the goodies left. House was very clean and the outside balcony, BBQ and backyard overlooking the lake was very peaceful.

    Was a bit cold in the bedrooms, the heater didn’t quite reach that end of the house/vents wouldn’t work in bedrooms. No driveway or proper parking, just grass/mud which was hard to navigate without stepping in mud, car mats are filthy!!!

    Great location, great view of the lake, lots of charm. Comfortable beds, great shower pressure, had all the facilities we needed.

    The property is in one of the best pockets of Daylesford, and truly connects straight into the lake. The view is magic and honestly breathtaking in Autumn. It can be enjoyed whether you're braving it out on the deck or staying cosy in the lounge/ dining room. The house has every little thing you could possibly need- the kitchen is particularly well appointed. Tony was lovely to deal with. Entry was easy and the property was very clean and scented beautifully. The linen on the beds is divine :) really lovely, fresh-smelling and luxurious. We had a great stay, thank you Tony.

    Only one little down side cottage has a deep stair that goes into the kitchen from front bedrooms. During the night when going to bathroom it is easy to trip down the stair as you don't see it. So a nightlight there would help. Other than that everything was great.

    Loved the lovely lake view and nice deck. Back garden and gate back onto lake track so you can access lovely walks. House was very comfortable and well set up with lots of things like gladwrap, oil, spices etc. A nice goody basket was left. Great communication with the owner.

    The bathroom is small and somewhere to put clothes would be good, but not a big issue.

    A great location right on the lake, walk out the gate and you are on the walking track. So nice to sit on the deck or in the lounge room and see the lake and surrounding trees. The cottage is beautifully appointed and decorated and you feel relaxed and at home straight away. The food basket was a nice touch and plenty of comfy blankets and pillows.
