Holiday houses in Glenlyon

Staying at Rachel’s place was an absolute dream! From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. The space was spotless, beautifully styled, and filled with thoughtful touches that showed how much care Rachel puts into hosting. Every detail was perfect – from the soft linens and well-stocked kitchen to the welcoming note and local recommendations. Rachel was incredibly responsive, kind, and genuinely went above and beyond to make our stay special. You can tell she truly cares about her guests' experience. Whether you're visiting for work or a relaxing getaway, this is the kind of place you’ll want to come back to again and again. Thank you, Rachel, for an unforgettable stay – we can’t wait to return!

Hannah’s place was so beautiful. We had such a great weekend and felt very relaxed and at home. The fireplace was a highlight! Even though the weather for the weekend was awful, cold and raining, Hannah’s house was comfortable, and had all the amenities to keep us out of the rain and entertained. Hannah was a great host. Super nice and very responsive and even let us check in early. Hannah was also super happy for us to bring our pup, which made our weekend perfect. Really loved the whole weekend, can’t recommend Hannah’s house enough.

We loved our recent stay, it is very tranquil and secluded and just what we needed for our young family. Lots to do and very generous amenities provided. Beautifully styled, very spacious and well accommodated. The views are beautiful and waking up to Kangaroos on the property everywhere was a nice little touch of how lucky we are to be staying somewhere so remote, yet only 10 mins from Glenlyon and a bit further to Daylesford. As suggested by other reviews, the dirt road to the property entrance is quite long (about 5kms) and your car will get filthy, but all worth it for the seclusion the property provides you and highly recommend.

The Barn is a beautiful space, and Jordan has a great eye for styling (to be expected when it's what she does for a living!). The barn had everything we needed, the bed was probably the comfiest i've ever slept in, the kitchen, bathroom and furnishings were nice and clean, Bobby (the resident Golden Retriever) was the absolute sweetest! It's only a short drive from Kyneton's main streets and was the perfect location for us to both base ourselves for some day trips exploring, but also to spend a lazy afternoon and evening on the couch in the most cozy and enjoyable space. If we ever have a reason to return to the area, I would 100% stay again! With a wood heater and 2 reverse cycle units, it was also very easy to keep warm!

Wow, rarely are we lost for words but not even the gorgeous photos could prepare us for what this would truly be like. As soon as you step into the longhouse you just feel different, the air smells beautiful and the nature sounds are so peaceful. Everything is so well designed and thought of. It feels like a hidden oasis and perfect place to relax. Most of our communication this trip was with Trace who greeted us and showed us around the property. The hosts are extremely helpful and have a lot of pride in their house and what they do. We’d recommend checking the website and booking one of their classes during your stay. I’m running out of space here to write but we absolutely couldn’t fault our stay here which was for our honeymoon. The outdoor bath and sauna are a highlight as well as the luxurious linens and views as you wake up in the morning. I’d recommend bringing some produce up with you and making use of the amazing kitchen equipped with everything you need.

Rothesay Cottage is delightful, quaint and cosy, perfectly located to walk to the shops and restaurants. Would recommend for couples wanting a country getaway, Elizabeth is a fantastic host who communicated well, and offered everything needed for our stay, we will be back.

Our stay at The Fat Pony Lodge was truly wonderful. The house itself was stunning spacious, comfortable, and beautifully designed. One standout feature was the gorgeous stained glass window in the main living area, which added a unique charm to the space. The surrounding grounds made the experience even more special. Feeding the beautiful horses and ponies was an unforgettable highlight and brought a magical touch to our stay. We absolutely loved our time here and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable getaway.

We had a lovely stay. Took in the views from the many locations on the property. Fire pit in the afternoon was a treat for a Uke strum and sing along. Could have stayed for a week! Thanks David. Was great to meet you on arrival and hear the history of the property. It's a special place!
