Nestled between Cornish Hill and babbling Smith's creek with uninterrupted views, you have found the most perfectly laid-back country home to unwind in for couples, girls' weekends, families, friends, international guests and your favourite pet.
The most beautiful of places to stay in Daylesford and Hepburn Springs with 2 beautifully appointed bathrooms, powder room and 3 separate living spaces including a spacious cook's kitchen, the winter den with board games, leather sofa and toasty wood fire and a second lounge room with huge comfy leather club chairs, tv and stereo.
Each gorgeously styled bedroom has original art, it's own collection of hand selected furniture and curated pieces and luxurious King beds layered with bespoke and handmade french linens and textiles from Major-Minor, Manteau Noir and brocante market finds.
All linen and towels, cooking essentials, teas and real coffee are provided while the spa bath, luxury Aurora Day Spa toiletries, benchtop coffee machine, BBQ, vintage record player and wood fire will make your stay the perfect getaway.
Relax in the grand rooms with high Victorian ceilings, baltic timber floors and antique french glass and panelled doors. A central hallway separates the beautifully appointed bedrooms from the stylish living spaces where antique turkish rugs adorn the floors and lush leather sofas and armchairs are layered in handmade cushions and throws.
Our cooks' kitchen for those who love to entertain offers a mix of old world french and spanish cookware and modern utensils, coffee machine, french press and stove top espresso, good knives and a sharpener and our favourite cooking books.
Cook up a memorable feast or enjoy an intimate breakfast at the grand dining table. Take some Eames cushions out and recline on the beautiful sun drenched north facing deck or have a bath in the old claw foot that overlooks Smith's Creek natural spring.
You're merely a short stroll to the Sunday Market, an extravagant food platter at nearby "CLIFFY'S" deli, a picnic in the the wombat gardens or a delicious french meal experience at Bistro Terroir. Swim in the lake, relax in a rejuvenating spa and indulge your inner aesthete with a walk to the Convent Gallery.
