Stayed with a big group of girlfriends for the weekend. We loved the house, the big open fire, the property and land surrounding it. Damien is a wonderful host and left a gorgeous hamper for us on arrival. We booked in house massages and had dinner delivered through a caterer recommended by Damien. Can’t recommend more. Just wish we could have stayed longer!! Thanks Damien :)

Be careful how your GPS tries to take you to the property. Mine took me some back way on a very unsuitable road! Our host explained a more use-friendly way to get to the property which worked a treat so if you aren't confident ask before you go!

We received a lovely little hamper of local goodies on arrival. The house was beautifully designed and very unique. We loved sitting by the beautiful fireplace which, might I add, had the kindling and logs already set up for us to light on arrival. Our host was friendly and very helpful. We had a friendly visit by his beautiful cat who, I must warn you, will want to be admitted, patted, and fed...! We didn't mind though because we like cats.

Nothing, it was exactly what we were looking for.

We enjoyed the Retreat and surrounding areas, for walks and the peaceful ambiance. The retreat bedrooms were very comfortable and warm, at night we had a lovely fire to gather around to chat. During the day we arranged massages for all of us which added to the experience. Perfect for a girl's weekend away. The host Damien was very accommodating and made sure we were comfortable.

A beautiful, spacious, comfortable & clean house. We also loved the beauty & seclusion of our location (whilst still close to the township of Daylesford). Excellent customer service from the friendly property manager.

Some hand reilings on the steps at front of the house would be great.

We liked everything about it. It was perfect for our stay. Very quiet and relaxing. Our host was always prompt with our requests. Beautiful house, well designed. Beautiful inside and out. The 2 bathrooms handled our large group number. It was everything we needed and wanted.

Really not much to fault. Maybe some fresh milk in the fridge would have been nice.

Spectacular secluded location, lots of wildlife and beautiful scenery. The glass doors/windows make the views from inside absolutely amazing. So even on days when the weather doesn’t permit, you can still enjoy the serenity of the surrounds. Indoors, the beds are cozy and comfortable and the whole place is just set up perfectly to kick back and relax with a tea or coffee. It’s earthy and calming with lots of space for a fabulous group getaway. And you can book in house massage treatments to make the most of the space and relaxation. The hamper on arrival was a gorgeous little surprise that everyone got to share. There’s also a gorgeous little cat to make the stay a little more homely for the cat lovers haha. Overall it’s a beautiful place to stay. Damien was helpful and great with communication. I booked a treatment at Arinya and Sonia was beyond fabulous, undoubtedly the best massage I’ve ever had. And she went above and beyond to make me comfortable with my pregnant belly.

Great location and comfortable house. Beautiful views and well equipped kitchen. Had massages in house. Really lovely not having to drive to and from treatments
