Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Daylesford - Hepburn Springs

Our long weekend in Hayle Shed was cosy and very comfortable. Jenni and Jennie’s eye for detail has resulted in a wonderfully quirky and original space containing all that was needed for an enjoyable stay. We appreciated the extra thoughtful touches and all the handy local information provided. Hayle Shed is fabulously positioned near the town centre for nearby eateries and shops and right next door to the Sunday Markets. We would highly recommended this absolute Daylesford gem. Thanks Jenni and Jennie!

Rachel’s a lovely host, and the place was so cosy and well located, just a couple of minutes from the main street and shops.

Perfect for a rainy long weekend! We were given the perfect amount of firewood/kindling for our stay. We were kept very warm (which was much needed this weekend)! It was super relaxing listening to the rain pouring in the roof of the cabin. During the day we explored Convent Art Gallery & the Mill Market. At night we enjoyed choosing from the provided DVDs what to watch! Perfect place to switch off :)

It was great to arrive and find a couple of lights on incase we arrived late. The house was easy to find and the key safe was in a great location. As we walked inside the long passage had some doors running off to 3 large bedrooms and a shared bathroom, the main bedroom had an ensuite that had a very large bath tub in. The beds were soft and the linen was very clean. The house is large and has a beautiful back garden area with a large bird feeder. (take a small packet of bird seed and put in the rotating wheel). The views from the balcony are of nice bush land. The house has a very large common area and the kitchen has everything that you need. Thank you Deb for a loverly house. Warm regards Gary

We really enjoyed staying here. It’s a beautiful and characterful home set in nature. Lots of lovely walks nearby and great coffee shops in town.

Had a lovely week at Gangas place. Was quiet, peaceful and extremely comfortable. Generously furnished for extreme coziness with a well equipped kitchen to cook for yourself. Located on a beautiful quiet road with the general store a short stroll away made for a great experience and reset from city life. Would highly recommend.

We had such a lovely and chilled time here. It was really keen, cosy and in great spot. Matt was really responsive and the place was warm and lights on when we arrived which was appreciated.

A perfect place to retreat - and not too far from Daylesford town centre (note: I'd recommend driving and not walking - it's not very scenic). The house was very well equipped, in good working order and very clean and had beautiful Salu bathroom products and Marimekko linen. Even though this property is dog friendly, could not smell or even hint that an animal had been present. Fireplace and spa were definitely the highlight. Even though the property is shared with perhaps 1 or 2 other units - couldn't hear our 'neighbours'. Would def stay again.

Clevedon Cottage was a cosy, beautiful cottage conveniently located within walking distance to everything we wanted to see in Castlemaine. Considering we stayed on the long weekend in June when the Jazz festival was on in town, it was priced exceptionally well, and had a lot of thoughtful touches inside that you wouldn't get elsewhere. I highly recommend for anyone planning a short stay in Castlemaine.

Perfect location! We went to a show at Her Majesty's Theatre, just a 5 minute walk up the street. Lots of eating options in the close vicinity too. The apartment is exactly as Lauren describes it, the photos don't lie. The front bedroom does get a bit of noise from the street - well it did on Saturday night, I suspect it might not be too bad during the week - but that is also in Lauren's description so it was no surprise, and I took earplugs which did the trick. The king size bed in that room is VERY firm, but that too was in the description, so again was no surprise. The 27 stairs to the front door could be an issue for anyone not able bodied. There is a carpark available to use around the back, but you do need to walk back to the front of the building anyway, so we chose to park in the street. No issues. It's free parking on Sunday, metered on the other days. Would definitely stay again if visiting Ballarat, and would recommend to friends or family. It's a lovely house.

I had a great stay at Michelle's apartment has everything you need!

A beautiful, clean, spacious apartment that was well equipped, central and homely. My partner and I had a lovely time and wish we could have stayed longer!

We loved our stay in Jane’s cosy, warm and well appointed property. It’s close to all the restaurants and shops, but removed and quiet. We especially loved the welcoming food items and the laundry! We would not hesitate to return.

Linda was absolutely so helpful while in Ballarat, she had an amazing response time and ensured that I was able to message her anytime I needed, the place was spotless and had everything that I needed:)

Chante was an absolutely amazing host, The Penthouse was squeaky clean, Kitchen was beautiful and had all you need - Coffee/milk/sugar/coffe machine all the cutlery you might need. The spa is amazing, the bed and couch are super comfortable, and Chante was kind enough to allow us an early check-in upon request. She was very responsive and friendly as well , would absolutely recommend this place, The only thing you might find a bit odd is the smell due to the spa being in the open but use the Exhause fan on top of the spa that helps alot, My only recommendation would be adding some sort of Air-freshner, Other than that this place was absolutely Fantastic. 💯

So impressed with Lisa’s place. Was just like staying at a friend’s house. Funky and comfortable decor, everything clean and functional, kitchen fully equipped including dishwasher, great tv and lots of games and books for kids and big kids. Couldn’t fault it. Oh and the beds are very comfy and it’s nice and quiet. This was our first trip to Ballarat and the location was a great base- we would love to stay again!
