Short stay

Property cute and cosy. Needed some essential items like tissues and paper towel. Some more wood needed as the weather was cold and windy. Didn’t think we should have to pay for extra wood. Otherwise quite satisfactory. Good location. No ABC or SVS tv coverage which was very disappointing.

Cottage stay

Place was OK but for some reason it was impossible to get an accurate tax receipt for the stay. Manager was unhelpful then became outright rude. Soured the stay.

Owner needs to do some maintenance

Unfortunately the mattress had completely collapsed, was incredibly uncomfortable, with displaced springs, and you had to cling to the sides to prevent yourself rolling into the middle. The middle sunk a good 9-12 inches from the sides of the mattress when you lay down, and sleep was thus very difficult. I note previous comments about the soft bed from guests, and the owner replying there was nothing wrong with the bed, but that is not true. In addition, the roof leaked, and we awoke to water dripping from the beam just beside the bed. Cleanliness could have been better - windows had mould, and skirting boards etc were dirty. This is a pity, as the cottage was obviously set up with love and care, and could be just perfect with a little maintenance.

Quite, central location

Quaint little cottage. Could have been clearer in description. Stated 1 bedroom and 1 living room giving the impression of a separate bedroom when in fact a fully opened one room incl kitchen/meals, sitting area, bed and bathroom ( toilet seperate). Lovely garden at the back + small fire place in sitting area.

Lovely anniversary getaway

Catherine was a delight to deal with and even had the heater on for us before we got there on a very cold night. The cottage is immaculately clean and in a great location within walking distance to the centre of Daylesford. The only downside to our weekend is that the bed was way too soft for our liking and we kept rolling into the middle. There were also 2 dogs on nearby properties that barked and whined almost constantly, particularly at night.

Gorgeous cosy cottage in a lovely part of Daylesford

This cottage is the perfect option for a couples' (or solo) winter weekend in Daylesford and Hepburn Springs. It's small (so very easy to heat with the Ned Kelly stove or the reverse-cycle unit!) but has everything you could need, including a very well-appointed bathroom, laundry and kitchen. It's in a quieter part of Daylesford behind the botanical gardens so you don't hear any traffic - just the birds singing. And Catherine is lovely to deal with, plus she has endless recommendations of local places to eat and drink!

Cosy and comfortable Daylsford cottage base

Despite some initial communication issues regarding arrival time and check-in process we enjoyed a cosy, comfortable and quiet stay in the cottage and found it a good base from which to explore Daylsford and surrounding places of interest. Guests should be aware that check in codes that you may receive from Stayz are not reliable and neither is their description of a 'bedroom'. In fact the cottage has a studio style layout which is nonetheless cute and comfortable.

About the host

Hosted by Catherine de Saint Phalle

My name is Catherine and I'm a novelist. I arrived in Australia in 2003 and am an Australian citizen now. Born in London, I am bilingual. My parents were French, but also part Spanish, Russian and English.

Why they chose this property

Because I fell in love with it. I used to live in Melbourne, but I left to live here full time. I love the country, there is something sacred about nature here that seems to welcome you and shelter you. I write here better than anywhere else I have lived.

What makes this property unique

It's quiet and full of charm, but so close to the Little Smoke down the hill. Daylesford is a lovely town, vibrant and warm. One can dream here, but also be part of the community. People are helpful and friendly and never make you feel you are a stranger. I can say this first hand, because I have a bit of an accent.
