Comfort Cottage

We just loved this cottage and it was beautifully appointed with everything anyone could need. A perfect position, with a view over the lake and the walking track right out the back. Very warm and cosy for a gorgeous winter getaway. I would highly recommend it and we plan to go back again when the weather warms up.

Beautiful Waterside Cottage

We just enjoyed another lovely girly weekend away in Daylesford staying at the beautiful Waterside Cottage. We never tire of the gorgeous location - best lake view in Daylesford from the sunken lounge and back decking. Even on a cold, wet, wintery day, the outlook is unbeatable from this warm, cosy cottage. It is equipped with everything you need, and finished with the highest quality of furnishings and beautiful decor! Tony and Jen, (the property managers/owners) provided great communication and went out of their way to make sure you have everything you need to settle in and enjoy your stay. Make sure you check out this little gem- you will not be disappointed!

Perfect for a weekend getaway

I’ve stayed at this property 3 times now. Twice with a group of friends and once with my partner. Each time I visit the cottage I have an amazing time. It is beautifully furnished and backs onto the lake. I couldn’t have asked for a better location. It’s only a short walk to the town centre where there are plenty of great restaurants and cafes. I can not rate Waterside Cottage highly enough!

Beautiful cottage by the lake

Lovely property with stunning view from the deck of the lake. Well appointed kitchen and the most comfortable lounges I have ever sat on! If your 6'3 like me just watch out for the door way to the kitchen, cracked my head a few times! Tony was great to deal with also
