Summary:

Escape together to Kingsleigh, a charming and private one-bedroom retreat made for two, perfectly positioned on Central Springs Road with some of Daylesford’s best-loved attractions right at your doorstep. Set amongst 700 square metres of private landscaped gardens, Kingsleigh offers the best of both worlds—a peaceful space to slow down and unwind, while remaining wonderfully connected to the heart of Daylesford.



The Space:

Designed as an intimate escape for two guests, this single-level studio-style cottage has been cleverly arranged into distinct living, kitchen and sleeping zones, with a completely private bathroom. A comfortable queen bed provides a restful place to retreat at the end of the day, while the relaxed living area invites you to curl up together and enjoy a movie on the impressive 70-inch LG television, complete with Chromecast and soundbar. High-speed fibre Wi-Fi and a dedicated sit/stand workspace with a monitor also make Kingsleigh a great option for those looking to extend their stay or sneak in a little work while escaping to the country.



The kitchen has everything you need for an easy and relaxed stay, including a single induction cooktop, dishwasher and coffee plunger. Pick up beautiful local produce during your travels and enjoy breakfast at home before heading out for the day, or embrace Kingsleigh’s central location and leave the cooking behind altogether while discovering Daylesford’s renowned restaurant and café scene.



When it’s time to truly unwind, retreat to the bathroom and enjoy a long soak in the indoor spa bath—the perfect way to warm up after a crisp winter walk around the lake or relax before an evening out in town. The spa’s jets are fully operational, creating a wonderfully indulgent addition to a romantic Daylesford escape.



Outside is where Kingsleigh really comes into its own. Multiple doors connect the cottage with a private deck and the surrounding landscaped gardens, creating an easy indoor-outdoor flow. Fire up the gas barbecue, settle into the outdoor lounge with a glass of local wine, or enjoy a leisurely breakfast beneath the covered front outdoor area before deciding where the day will take you.



And there’s no need to leave your four-legged companion behind. Kingsleigh is proudly pet-friendly, with a secure, lockable private deck where your dog can safely enjoy the fresh country air alongside you. Pet blankets are also provided to help make travelling with your furry companion that little bit easier. Combined with the nearby lake and endless opportunities for beautiful walks, Kingsleigh makes an especially inviting Daylesford escape for couples travelling with their dog.



Comfort has been thoughtfully considered throughout, with split-system heating and air conditioning, a washer/dryer, dishwasher, private driveway parking and self check-in allowing you to arrive, settle in and immediately make the space your own.



Whether your perfect Daylesford getaway means slow mornings and coffee in the garden, browsing vintage treasures across the road, walking hand-in-hand around Lake Daylesford, enjoying long lunches in town or returning home for a spa and a quiet evening together, Kingsleigh gives you the flexibility to do it all.



Private, pet-friendly and perfectly positioned, Kingsleigh is a little Daylesford escape made for two.
