A Great Property
My wife and I recently stayed at this property and the first thing that we noticed on arrival was the cleanliness of the cottage and gardens. The property is well fenced and very dog friendly. Our fur baby had a great time exploring. The location is great, everything was provided (even breakfast) and Ian was an excellent host. It is located only about 20 mins from Daylesford in one direct and about the same in the Ballarat direction making it a good base. Another bonus for us was that there was an EV Electric charging station only 2 mins from the cottage. We would definitely stay there again.

The "Cabin' was a compact and cosy property with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Ian was very responsive with information on how to access the property, making sure there was heating and light on for our arrival. This was much appreciated after a long drive into cold, evening temperatures. The house is within a short walk of local shops and restaurants, with a great view of the lake from the outdoor area. We enjoyed our short stay and would happily recommend the property to others.
