Family-friendly holiday rentals in Daylesford

Loved my stay. Perfect for purpose little idyllic spot. I’m a fan of tiny homes and this is a very similar size accomodation. The bed was really comfy and the bedding was pristine. Kitchen is a little dated but completely functional and Jennine has thought of everything her guests may need. The bathroom is beautiful and modern with decent water pressure allowing for a nice shot shower. The bath and the garden were amazing. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to use the bath as I had a lot of work to do during my stay. I did feel a little vulnerable sleeping beneath that huge Manna Gum tree but I did know that was going to be the case prior to my booking. But I could never have predicted the spectacular storm and power cut and sleeping under that tree! I must admin to being a bit worried about it. Jennine was proactive, and she messaged me where to find emergency candles. Couldn’t have asked for a more accomodating owner. Very happy I chose this peaceful place. Thank you Jennine.

This was our third time staying here and there’s a reason we keep coming back! It’s gorgeous and so peaceful - would definitely recommend.

I had the pleasure of staying at Lady Marmalade a beautiful home, and I must say it was an absolutely delightful experience. From the moment we walked in, I was struck by the stunning decor, thoughtfully curated and stylist, yet warm and inviting. Every room was well-appointed with attention to detail, make the space feel like a true home away from home. One of the standout features was the thoughtful little touches like the high-quality toiletries and homemade marmalade and other food goodies left out for guest, a lovely surprise. Overall, this home is a true gem, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and comfortable getaway with a personal touch.

Dave & Cherie’s place is a beautiful home in a nice and relaxing location!

Deniz as a host was helpful and responded quickly. When asked, Replaced the hot water kettle and floor standing fan along with some kitchen accessories almost immediately via her property manager !! Appreciated acceptance of a late checkout without additional charges as a friendly gesture. A stay at Deniz’s apartment would be highly recommended!! We truly enjoyed our stay for the 6 nights we were there. Thank you once again for everything Deniz !!

Thanks Michele, we loved our short stay in your cottage. It had everything that we needed and more. It was in a beautiful area and it was so peaceful, which is what we were hoping for. When we are back in the Hepburn region we will definitely look at booking again. Thank you, Leanne

Had a great stay. Comfortable and pretty quiet. Nice to be able to park off the street, in the garage. Everything was easy to find and well organised. Thank you!

We booked this stunning Daylesford house for our best friend’s 40th — and WOW, what a weekend! The vibes were immaculate, the house was beyond gorgeous, and we spent three days laughing, grazing, and sipping Prosecco like queens. Perfect for a girls’ getaway and milestone celebration!

Beautiful place to stay! The house was spacious for 5 people with a beautiful outdoor area as well. The town is walking distance so heaps to do around the area. Geraldine is friendly and super easy to communicate with! She left us a welcome pack with some treats and snacks that were greatly appreciated!! Would definitely be back.

Great location, near shops and the house was so beautiful. Only issue we had was we found it difficult to get hot water despite following the instructions left. It also gets a bit hot in the rear rooms in summer but nothing a few open windows cant fix. Thanks for allowing us to have a wonderful weekend.

We had a great stay at Daylesford Country Retreats. The accommodation was just as described and as per the photos. The beautiful scenery around the property made our stay so peaceful. We will definitely be coming back again. Thank you for having us!

Perfect spot for a small group country getaway. Great location with gorgeous views from the front porch, plenty of outdoor spaces, and a fire-pit that would be lovely in winter. The main cottage was very cute & cosy while the studio was spacious and airy. All very clean & comfortable with plenty of amenities, rustic touches, and good kitchen/bathroom facilities. Close to town (short walk downhill to shops) but still secluded with lots of greenery. Emma was a great host, gave clear instructions & was quick to respond to messages.

Anne's place is great, we had a excellent stay. Very comfortable and clean place.

Lovely old miners cottage. Great bed. Had everything required for a relaxing stay. Short walk into Daylesford. Nice extra touches.

This holiday was like an historical immersive experience/ museum. We loved it. The furnishings, the crockery, the knick knacks and the record collection were all excellent We played Trivial Pursuit , whilst listening to Rod Stewart, Rikki Lee Jones and the Beach Boys. What fun. Loved not having a telly. The sky was clear, filled with stars and magnificent Thx Jenny A really special place to stay

Lovely secluded accommodation in a beautiful country setting. Excellent communication with Mary. Thank you. We enjoyed our stay.

The Unit was spot on! Close walk to city centre (3 minutes) if you can’t be bothered walking that far there is a place to eat across the road, lots of thing to do within walking distance, train ride, market on a Sunday, lots of restaurants, cafe’s, shops, museums! Quick walk to the Wombats garden. Wineries within driving distance (great wines!) Thanks Renee & Izzy! We enjoyed our Easter trip away from Geelong..

Exceptional host, easy communication

very peaceful property, felt like we had the grounds entirely to ourselves and Andy is a very responsive and kind host.

We had a fantastic stay at Corvah House in Castlemaine with our extended family, including young children. The house was beautiful, spacious, and well-equipped, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing weekend. The highlight was definitely the pool—an absolute lifesaver on a hot weekend! With ample grass area outside too, the the kids loved it which meant we could relax too. Donna was an excellent host—her communication was fantastic, making everything smooth and stress-free. We’d highly recommend Corvah House to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in Castlemaine.

This place was absolutely spectacular. Beautiful noise, beautiful views and wonderful service from the house keeper.

We loved the place great for the family and kids . It feels like our own home. Thank you Emma and Rose. We will definitely be back

We had an unforgettable stay at Noonanmeena, a stunning passive house set on 20 picturesque acres in Redesdale. The property is beautifully situated, backing onto the Coliban River, with easy access to Redesdale town center, just a short drive away. It's also conveniently located—only 25 minutes from Heathcote and 20 minutes from Lake Eppalock. The house itself is fantastic—spacious, comfortable, and perfect for families. Whether we were relaxing on the deck or taking a dip in the pool, watching the sunset was an absolute highlight. John was an exceptional host—welcoming, accommodating, and great to communicate with. Thank you for making our long weekend truly special—we can't wait to return!

Easy & early check-in, beautiful home & entertaining pool/spa/sauna, looked exactly like the photos and hosts were very kind and quick in response. One of the best Airbnbs I’ve stayed in! Highly recommend :) Will be coming back.
