Big house, it’s bigger than the pictures and was perfect for our large working group. Plenty of separate space for everyone to have their own space.

Porcupine Country Retreat Ten Mins from Daylesford

JaneRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had a peaceful summer long weekend at the house - a much needed break from our regular routines. We enjoyed the well curated furnishings. We loved the pool, the hammocks and the open views to the paddocks and trees.

Peaceful setting to wind down for a few days after a busy few weeks. Just the two of us. Was a lovely space to relax, self cater & spread out. Friendly local pub a few kms away or drive into town for shopping & eats.

LiaRating, 5 stars3 days ago
Garry's place was neat and just what we expected. It met all of my families needs and we were extremely satisfied. My family felt comfortable staying here, we especially loved the air-conditioned comfort over a very warm weekend! Garry was very easy to deal with and responded to any questions I had. Would highly recommend for anyone to stay.

We had an amazing stay at this accommodation! Everything was perfect – from the clean and comfortable rooms to the well-equipped facilities. The house was great, and it really felt like a home away from home. The location was also fantastic, making it easy to get around, we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and will definitely be back on our next trip!

Luxury with views & a pool

SaralaRating, 5 stars5 days ago
The house was perfect- we booked on a whim and the kids wanted a pool- which was absolutely beautiful and came with pool toys and a great recliner seat! Although not heated, we thoroughly enjoyed our time in and out of the home. Laundry with great facilities made it easy to dry off in our time between pool vs indoors. The side lawn with a cubby house, coupled with 2 outdoor lounge areas was a major plus. We each had to work a portion of our holiday so the great home office set-up was a huge plus point! Master ensuite was VERY luxurious. Great couch for the whole family to lounge on, with 3 TVs (1 with games!) to utilise meant kids didn't fight. The house is located in an Uber Eats delivery zone which made meal time super convenient. Linen& towels were v clean. Overall, we'd love to return and enjoy this beautiful home. Thank you for great, speedy communication, and for hosting such a lovely stay for us.

Heather and Ned were extremely friendly and made us feel right at home! Nested in the middle of greenery, it was the perfect escape for us over Christmas with some beautiful kangaroos to accompany in the evening

Great one for the girls and large families

RhiannaRating, 5 stars19 months ago
This house that had most things you need for a relaxing stay in the countryside. There was lot of heating options for those cold nights including electric blankets on the beds downstairs, portable heaters and 2 fireplaces. The location was in a quiet spot, picturesque and not a too far of walk from town. The house would suit 2 families or even a friends weekend away. We brought our small dog and Rhonda was very understanding accomodating of this. Lastly, Rhonda was great to deal with and definitely would recommend this stay.

We were looking for a silent retreat and we found it. Very close to the shopping centre and other areas like Daylesford, we visited Bendigo. Nothing was too far away. Judy's home was comfortable, cool, and clean; we would certainly stay again. Thank you Judy

Grandma’s Cottage

NaomiRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Grandma’s Cottage was such an amazing stay. The host, Naomi was so friendly and checked in on us to make sure we were taken care of. The property had a lot to see and enjoy. I loved petting the chickens and collecting eggs. It would be a great place to take a small family for the weekend. We loved the place so much that we are hopping to come back in winter.

Olive Grove couple's getaway with amazing views

timRating, 5 stars6 days ago
Where to begin? The property itself is stunning, the studio is just beautiful, everything is exceptionally clean, smells good, the decor is amazing, the linen, the views, it really is just a stunning space to get away for a little while. The surrounding land has space to take a walk, read a book, have a dip in an awesome salt water pool, surround yourself with animals and see some Kangaroos in the morning. Paul and Janet couldnt be better hosts, everything was easy, they were incredibly helpful, very friendly - i really cant put into words the level of care that has been put into this space and how comfortable Paul and Janet made me feel. They leave you to your business, if you need anything they are there with a smile. Anyone looking for a bit of a preaceful getaway, look no further.
