"The bed was so comfortable, the room was clean and had all you need for a bed and shower. The shared court yard needs some love and you could hear other guests out there talking until late but would stay again. Good location"

I was greeted with a friendly smile and that theme continued throughout my two night stay. Having to catch up on some business was made very easy with access to high speed internet without the need to purchase or log in to a third party. Very comfortable and clean - very good value for money in my opinion.

I travel a great deal for work, so stay regularly at Hotels. The Novotel Forest Resort was one of the best I have been too! Booked at the last minute (day before stay) and with a special request for ground floor as my child was in a wheel chair, we arrived to the most spacious room with disability railing and shower chair in the bathroom alongside a two person spa. The receptionist was amazing as i had queries regarding wifi and an extension chord- both sorted within a minute.

On arrival I was given some helpful tips on where to eat and visit. I was in room 16 which was facing the rear of the property and very quiet. The bed was comfortable and there are a number of lovely cafes and restaurants within walking distance.

Fantastic big room that was clean and fresh, and the decor attractive. The bed was so comfy, with multiple pillows to use. The breakfast pack was a bonus. So nice to stay somewhere that allows for more than one cup of tea and coffee each during the stay.

Great stay with clean new suites.
The coffee pod machine was a welcome from instant coffee
Would have been good to arrive to find some cookies or something.

Fantastic staff! Couldn't be more helpful. Offered milk, muffins and chocolates upon arrival. Great place to stay for families who don't want the noise in town as its 5 mins out of Ballarat. Rooms are dated but clean and comfortable. Very reasonably priced to stay.

Our host confirmed our time of arrival by phone the day before and met us on arrival which was fantastic. She was very hospitable and we instantly felt welcome. The Manse is a beautifully restored house located a few minutes walk from the Main Street so was very quiet.
Located in a lovely garden setting, the front entrance had stunning stained glass and a wonderful foyer. The stained glass was also on show on the landing of the stairs.

The apartment was clean and welcoming. I received a text about checking in which included things to see and do as well as places to eat within Daylesford which was a very nice gesture.

The walls were thin but I expected that from the reviews online. But you get what you paid for. The staff were helpful when picking up the keys. The property was well maintained. The room was very well kept and so conveniently located to the town centre.
Best for those looking for a good rest and recoup.
