Holiday rentals with lake access in Ballarat

This place is inspiring. It feels like an Enid Blyton novel and filled us with joy. It was eclectic, cosy, and welcoming. This would be a wonderful space for a writing retreat, or just spend days in the rocking chair reading and daydreaming.

Beautiful property and surroundings, peaceful and private, cozy place to stay and great hosts.

The property is very well equipped for families who want to cook, relax and sleep well! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The neighbours were a little noisy but not disruptive. Thank you for thinking of everything a family could need in a holiday property!

We really enjoyed staying at the Cottage. Very well presented. Great experience booking and communicating. It was perfrct for our family of 4 as a base to visit Soverign Hill. Only tiny thing worth noting is there is only one 2 1/2 seater couch in the cute front lounge, so if you have 4 or more guests you can't all sit in the lounge to watch TV. We could squish 3 on the couch and brought one of the 6 dining chairs from the adjoining kitchen in for extra seating which wasn't quite as relaxing. Tiny issue as it is a gorgeous cottage, large open space in the kitchen and bedrooms and beds were perfect. Also really comforting to have off street parking. And a lovely coffee shop only 200 metres away. Really enjoyed ourselves and highly highly recommend Thank you.

Great place to stay, Helen was amazing to deal with, would definitely go back again.

Would highly recommend to anyone. Thankyou for a great stay in your beautiful home.

Absolutely gorgeous house! Catherine is an amazing host! I travel a lot to Ballarat for work and will certainly will be rebooking again! Highly recommend! 🧚‍♀️

We felt at home and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The added extras aren’t always provided but we definitely appreciated them here - tea and milk, the pantry with glad wrap, the laundry with detergent, the bathroom and hair dryer. Neat and tidy with lots of charm 😊

my stay was great. the unit was clean and tidy. modern amenities and the communication from our host was helpful and informative.

Great location and friendly staff, would come back here again

Had a wonderful stay, the place was everything as described, spacious, very clean and well equipped with everything you need, and we especially liked that it was so close to Lake Daylesford. The balcony backed out onto the lake and was the prefect spot to relax and watch the sunset. Something to note for anyone with mobility issues, this suite (3) can only be accessed by a slightly steep flight of stairs which proved to be a little difficult for my elderly mum, would’ve have been great if this was included in the details beforehand. There also seemed a slight problem with toilet seat (wasn’t fitted properly) and some information contained in the ‘information file’ in the suite contradicted with the details (check-out times) that was provided. However overall, we had a fabulous stay, it is a gorgeous place and would definitely recommend!

Booked this property for my parents to stay on their wedding anniversary. They were very impressed with the property and loved their stay. It had everything they needed and was in a beautiful location. Communication was prompt and booking was very easy. Would recommend!

Very happy with our stay, had everything we needed. Very clean, easy to find, excellent communication and instructions from Linda, very friendly and responded promptly

The lakeside suite was serene. Tidy clean and quiet with a beautiful view of the lake. The lakeside suite is walking distance from Vincent Street and the lake is easily accessible. The decking could do with a little bit of TLC and being on the lower level we could hear our neighbours above us. Nonetheless, our stay was lovely.

We have stayed here on several occasions, and will be back. Great location with off street parking, close to the lake and the city

Beautiful outlook over Lake Daylesford, fabulous large balcony to relax on. Easy to walk around the lake, and up to the restaurants and shops. Spacious bedroom, bathroom and living space. Super comfortable and clean.

We had a beautiful stay. Accommodation was spotless and resembled photographs. Angela was helpful and accommodating as we changed our dates last minute. We would definitely return. Thank you.

I'd highly recommend Stephanie's country cottages to anyone looking for a peaceful bush getaway. A friendly and gracious host, we felt right at home straight away and the cottage was lovely and comfortable. The garden is a fantastic place to do some star gazing, then have a copy fire to warm back up. Just loved it. Thank you for having us Stephanie!

it was great location and clean. thank you

The location of this property is excellent — within a 10-minute drive to all the local restaurants and Lake Daylesford. The interior is simply yet comfortably furnished, making it a great option for a short family getaway. If you’re not bothered by being close to the main road, it’s not an issue. For families considering a longer stay, having a dryer would make it even more perfect.

Great location easy walk to the main area. Only a small house, but served our needs. Even though it was a cold weekend, the heating was able to get the house warm. Would stay again!

We loved other little family vacay in Daylesford. We booked the Airbnb very last minute in which Anthony & Andrew were very accomodating and allowed us to check in within two hours of booking. They were extremely friendly, helpful and easy to communicate with. The cottage was very cute and so close to the main shops. Highly recommend!

Absolutely the best Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in! This cottage is an absolute gem! Tucked away in a peaceful spot, yet so accessible. The place was immaculate, beautifully styled, and incredibly cosy. The spa was the perfect touch to unwind at the end of the day making the whole experience that little bit more luxurious and special. Every little detail had been thoughtfully considered, and it made us feel so welcome and relaxed from the moment we arrived. Can’t recommend this place highly enough!

Beautiful location, peaceful and relaxing. Loved everything about it especially all the extra details that are put into this property. Thank you Janine for being so accommodating and very responsive. Absolutely love my stay.
