Holiday houses in Axe Creek

We had such a wonderful stay at Olivia’s place! The home was spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated, we especially loved the floor-to-ceiling window in the master bedroom with stunning views of the lake. The spacious deck was perfect for relaxing, and we were lucky enough to enjoy both a breathtaking sunrise and moonlight reflections on the water. The kitchen was incredibly well-equipped with everything we needed, and we really appreciated the thoughtful touches, fresh free-range eggs, butter, and bread waiting for us in the fridge. Our kids absolutely loved their time on the farm. A real highlight was visiting the pet cows and bulls with Liv and feeding them carrots, such a special experience! Malmsbury town is just a short drive away, and the bakery there is a must-visit, the pies are delicious! Thank you, Liv, for an amazing weekend. We hope to return again soon!

We had a wonderful family getaway at Ann’s place! It was the perfect escape from the city—peaceful, scenic, and full of charm. The cottage offered stunning views, and we loved being surrounded by so many animals. The kids especially fell in love with the dogs and are already missing them! The location is also ideal, with easy access to Hanging Rock and the lovely towns around the Macedon Ranges. We’d absolutely love to come back again!

Genevieve did everything possible to make our stay a great experience. I booked this as a surprise birthday getaway for my partner, and without me having to ask, Genevieve added a bunch of little treats to celebrate. Everything was super clean, and the little things like turning on the towel heater was a great touch for our stay. Both my partner and I had the best time, using the fire pit to toast marshmallows gifted to us by the hosts, and enjoying the beautiful sunrise with a cup of tea overlooking the most peaceful landscape. I highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a nice getaway, it is so worth the money.

I'd highly recommend Stephanie's country cottages to anyone looking for a peaceful bush getaway. A friendly and gracious host, we felt right at home straight away and the cottage was lovely and comfortable. The garden is a fantastic place to do some star gazing, then have a copy fire to warm back up. Just loved it. Thank you for having us Stephanie!

Jasmin’s listing was exactly as pictured, and worked really well for a group of four. There were lots of great touches, such as fresh eggs, as well as heaters in the rooms. This house was really centrally located, an easy walk to the Daylesford Main Street. Overall a great option for a weekend in Daylesford!

Stayed for two nights with family as attended the red hot summer festival. Clean & comfortable space, lots of room on the couch for all of us. Comfy beds & pillows. Walkable distance to the Jockey Club (approx 20-25mins). House situated at the back, so fairly quiet. Thanks for having us & we will definitely use again in the future.

Perrin’s Place provided a perfect family getaway. Conveniently situated in central Daylesford, the property has been landscaped on a steeply sloping hillside enhancing the spectacular views at both sunrise and sunset. Attention to detail in the gardens was a highlight including the ambience the extensive outdoor lighting and furniture provided. Each room was tastefully decorated and luxury linen provided. The heating (coonara and ample supply of chopped wood), split system and electric heater, plus cooling controls made the stay very comfortable while unexpected bonuses included a large tv, incredible sound bar, multiple channels and a portable speaker to listen to music or the news. All bathroom and kitchen amenities were well stocked. Andrew was helpful and communicative. Highly recommend Perrin’s Place for an unforgettable stay in Daylesford.

Absolutely 5 stars! The photos really don’t do this place justice—even after reading that in other reviews, I was still genuinely surprised by how beautiful it was. The pantry was well stocked, with thoughtful items that seemed to have been left behind by generous guests—so we added a little something too. The fireplace was all set up, which made it super easy to get started and added a cozy touch. The back balcony was the perfect spot for breakfast, with a beautiful view while watching our dog run around the yard. Dog bowls were even provided! Highly recommended

Had a great stay at this cottage during the Chillout Festival. At that time, obviously, there were a lot of queers partying in Daylesford, including the immediate neighbours, who we assume were also guests in town for Chillout, so we didn't mind the noise. I assume without a major festival on it would be a lot quieter.
