Communication between myself and host was fantastic. Property was cute but could do with some improvements. Complimentary drinks were not provided and was told it wasnt a special occasion. If you dont mind possums banging on the roof nightly you will be ok. The town surrounding the property is behind in the times but overall it was very relaxing.

The property is close to town centre and overall good. With little upgrades it can easily become great. The roof is made of metal sheets and birds over night are disturbing. This can be easily fix with some birds spikes from bunnings. It would also be great if the TV s will have chromcast or apple TV or wifi.

My partner and I were looking for an out of the way place where we could rest before start the new year running. The property we stayed in gave us the privacy and peace we needed to recoup from a hectic year and concentrate on ourselves. Situated in beautiful central Victoria, the location gave us a chance to explore this magnificent state and visit area we would otherwise avoid.

My partner and I had a wonderful getaway. Very nice accommodation and very quiet area.
Located super close to the amazing mill market and just a 20 minute walk into town, everything is easily accessible.

Had no problems or complaints about staying at this property. Clean house with everything we needed already there, and had a very warm clean hot tub. Would definitely go back.

We had a great time staying at Texada Art Retreat, we ended up forgoing visiting the hot springs because we were having such a good time relaxing in the hot tub at the property!
After a stressful few weeks working, this was just what we needed to unwind. Would highly recommend the property - close to everything you need in town, very clean and easy to find/check in.
We hope to stay again!

Loved our stay! The only grimaces we had were the bed wasn’t properly made on arrival & there was sand in the clothes iron provided, but only minor things. We would love to stay again!

Cosy getaway
Communication with the property managers was prompt and helpful. The space itself was on the smaller side but still very functional, it is fitted out with heaters and electric blankets so staying warm wasn’t an issue, the location is good and we followed recommendations from the owners to take a nearby trail which made for a really nice walk in nature while exploring local history, would definitely recommend. The hot tub was also probably the main selling point to this accomodation and it did not let us down as it was constantly hot and ready to go.
The downsides to the stay were very minimal but I will write to inform future visitors + the owners: the kitchen isn’t exactly made for cooking but does have all the necessary accessories to prepare basic food, I will suggest bringing a bread knife if thats your thing, we picked up a special loaf from the Sunday Market and struggled with the knives at the house. We also found it wasn't as private as we expected when initially booking, the owners did inform us that the property has two other cottages, and although they are pretty far apart, the trees surrounding the hot tub where we stayed are deciduous so there were no leaves on them during our stay and we could easily see others around and they could see us if used during the day, there isn’t really fencing separating the property either, at one point there was a dog in out backyard area while we in the hot tub.
The booking also said there would be drinks on arrival but there was not. I didn’t follow any of these up with the owners during the stay as we were quite busy coming in and out to explore the local area, again not major issues, but potentially some things that could be done better in the future. Overall great stay, and would recommend it to anyone staying in Daylesford for a few days.

Lovely getaway
Hot tub was perfect, easy to access and well screened for privacy. Outdoor area small but nicely decorated and very inviting. Loved the view from the windows - trees, plants and birds. A very enjoyable and relaxing weekend, thank you 💚

Lovely and quiet little cottage for two. Excellent value for a stay that is only a few minutes walk from the heart of Daylesford. The owners are also lovely to talk to and very accommodating. Recommended.

great location and ideal for a break outside summer, no air conditioning nor an AM Radio to listen for weather alerts make this place a good place to avoid in summer

Just loved this little cottage. Old styled on the outside, beautiful and modern on the inside. It was so neat, clean and very cosy. It had everything we needed and more. The patio on the outside with the Spa was magical and very private. Totally recommend this property, and will definitly be back again. Thank-You Cherie :)

Lovely place to stay, however not much room for our dog. As it is advertised as a pet friendly residence, the out door garden area could've been better facilitated for pets.

Is a very clean little place but was very disappointed as the discription of this property is false. It does not back on to wombat state forest it backs onto someone back yard ( forest can be seen if you climb a tree and look a kilometre into the distance. The large plasma tv is not large at all is only the size of tv you would have on kitchen bench and gate leading to private back yard is broken and can't be used. After calling owner to complain that there was no drinks on arrival as promised plus all the other list of things wrong I was told they don't have a maintence man so pretty much bad luck and if look in the distance you can see forest. Was really excited for this little get away with my husband and new born baby but left feeling disappointed and stooged.
