Holiday rentals with lake access in Daylesford

We absolutely loved our stay at Geraldine’s gorgeous home. It was warm, spacious, and inviting—perfect for our trip to Ballarat during the tournament when the weather outside was anything but kind. The beds were comfortable and warm, and there was plenty of room for everyone to relax. The house was spotless and clearly very well looked after, with thoughtful family memorabilia throughout that added character without feeling cluttered. The kitchen was well-equipped, so we didn’t need to second-guess whether to bring basics like salt, tea, or coffee. Geraldine had everything covered, including a beautiful welcome basket and a generous supply of cleaning products. All in all, this cozy, welcoming home made our stay truly memorable. We’ll definitely look back on our time here with great fondness. Highly recommend!

The house was beautiful, even better than what we imagined from the photos. Would definitely love to visit again. Parking during daytime was an issue being on one of the busy roads in Ballarat but otherwise it was perfect.

Doreen’s place is absolutely gorgeous! If you are heading to Ballarat, look no further. Great location - walking distance to Sovereign Hill, 5 min drive from central shops and restaurants. Massive space, especially great if you have kids. Our 4 year old loved the kids area with books, toys. Our family was very comfortable and we had a very comfortable stay.

This was our second time staying at Richard's lovely country property. The kids loved the open space, and playing with their remote control boat on the little dam. The gardens and surrounds were lovely, with easy access to Daylesford and Hepburn Springs shops/ pubs etc, and the communication and instructions from Richard were excellent!

Absolutely loved my time (4 nights) at Cardigan st. Comfy couches, glorious shower, wonderful location and everything you need. Really appreciated the flexibility Traci gave me around bed choice (based on my bad back.)

We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb! Simon and Ru are amazing hosts-were very friendly and helpful!The place felt very homely and comfortable, making it easy to settle in. It was incredibly well-equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing trip. The neighborhood was lovely—quiet, safe, and convenient for exploring the area. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would definitely choose to stay again on our next visit. Highly recommended!

Well provisioned house in a great location. Thank you.

Absolutely excellent property. I stay at quite a few Airbnbs for work and I can easily say that this is a standout property and host. A whole bunch of little details; like arriving on a rainy day to find the host had specifically turned the heater on for us already, providing a fresh loaf of bread (and condiments) and bottle of milk, excellent well appointed bedrooms, great bathroom ect the list goes on. I don’t usually leave reviews this detailed but this one is an exception. Will definitely be trying to book this one next time I’m working in Ballarat. 5 stars in every category easily.

Perfect location for a little getaway!! Nice and close to plenty of public transport options to get into the city. The apartment was spotless and well presented. Will definitely stay there again!!

We had a lovely two-night stay at Kurt and Nanette’s place in Golden Point, Ballarat. Kurt greeted us on arrival and was warm and welcoming, which set the tone for a great stay. The heater had been turned on beforehand, making the space feel cozy and comfortable on a chilly Ballarat afternoon. The bed was very comfortable, and we truly appreciated all the thoughtful touches. There was a generous selection of treats provided, everything we needed for a relaxed and enjoyable visit. The space was spotlessly clean, well-appointed, and perfect for a short getaway. We would highly recommend it and would be very happy to stay again.

Deniz as a host was helpful and responded quickly. When asked, Replaced the hot water kettle and floor standing fan along with some kitchen accessories almost immediately via her property manager !! Appreciated acceptance of a late checkout without additional charges as a friendly gesture. A stay at Deniz’s apartment would be highly recommended!! We truly enjoyed our stay for the 6 nights we were there. Thank you once again for everything Deniz !!

The Melbourne lifestyle apartments were amazing and very lovely inside with amazing views of either Yarra river or Docklands. We loved our stay and would definitely stay again. Thanks for having us

Place is very good and exactly what the description says I would recommend staying there!

Siobhan's place was a great spot to base my Melbourne trip. The place looked as described and was well kept. Siobhan is a great host who was very responsive and the check in and checkout was very easy. There was lots to do within Port Melbourne that was walkable and public transport into the city was convenient too. I had a great stay!

The lakeside suite was serene. Tidy clean and quiet with a beautiful view of the lake. The lakeside suite is walking distance from Vincent Street and the lake is easily accessible. The decking could do with a little bit of TLC and being on the lower level we could hear our neighbours above us. Nonetheless, our stay was lovely.

Very easy check in/ check out process, apartment was spotless and in great location

My mum, sisters and I had the most beautiful stay at Julian and Susie’s! The cottage was absolutely perfect and so cosy, not to mention how stunning the surrounding gardens/views were. We enjoyed every moment and hope to book another stay there again! Thank you Julian and Susie for being wonderful hosts and making our stay one to remember.

The house is clean and peaceful, beautifully located by the lake. It’s especially delightful to take a stroll at sunset. I really enjoyed my stay and hope to visit again in the future.

Thank you Neal for a lovely 2 night stay. The accommodation was very cozy with the fire going on arrival and a good supply of wood to keep it going. Newstead is a quiet town where you can go walking along the Loddon River and the house is in a very quiet and private setting. We really enjoyed the little extras such as chocolate and biscuits etc. I would definitely recommend staying here as it is only a short drive to Maldon and other beautiful towns.

Great place especially with the fur babies and they were welcomed! Stephanie was a great communicator and always on hand if you needed something ! Very private regardless of the number of cottages on site! We will be back ❤️

Great place close to Sovereign hills! The house is exactly like the pictures and really clean and cozy. Beds were also super comfy with heating under the beds to keep you warm and toasty! No complaints about this place at all. Very good! Thank you Linda! My family had a really comfortable stay.

a perfect place to stay whilr exploring the local area. lovely hosts and a lovely cottage!

Great place! Comfortable beds, beautiful bathroom. Kitchen had everything needed to prepare meals. Would book again when staying in Ballarat!

Elbert’s place was fantastic, amazing get away from the city - Elbert had the fire going and the pizza oven all set up and ready to go. The Cottage is cozy and warm in the winter weather, we would highly recommend a weekend getaway at Elbert’s Cottage. Thanks for a wonderful Stay
