Kangaroo Creek Cottage
One of the best Airbnb places we have stayed. Malcolm and Marina were so warm and welcoming. From the transport to the accommodation, the fresh bread on arrival, to allowing us to feed the horses apples, we could not fault their hospitality. Communication with Malcolm was easy and fast, and he provided excellent local recommendations for food. The Airbnb was cosy, clean and secluded with ultimate privacy. We had a wonderful weekend and can’t thank them enough.

Honeysuckle Barn & Garden
Jennifer and Will were the perfect hosts. The barn and gardens are delightful and we enjoyed our stay very much.

The Barn, Kyneton Victoria
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!

Historical Stationmaster house of Woodend
A genuinely great stay. Doug clearly takes great pride in ensuring the house is prepared for a comfortable and enjoyable time. Walkable to the main strip at Woodend, the home is well laid out, well appointed and comfortable. Having stayed during winter, the central heating and wood fire made it a very cosy space to spend cold and wet nights. We would definitely stay with Doug on our next trip to Woodend.

Banksia Mt Macedon - Modern country retreat
Excellent base for a weeklong stay. Had everything I needed when traveling by myself, minus perhaps an ironing board. Even better than the photos - and very tastefully decorated and styled with quality linens, towels, toiletries, etc. Will hopefully stay again.

Enchanting log cabin in the woods
Felt like being in an oasis whilst only an hour or so out of Melbourne. Susan’s place was a sanctuary the perfect winter escape! The bed was so comfortable, we had a nightly fire, there were birds and kangaroos on the doorstep and the bath was deep and perfect for relaxing. Everything was so well thought out, we had the best stay!

Farm in the field
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing stay at this beautiful farm! The accommodation was not only stunning but also incredibly comfortable and thoughtfully designed. The peaceful surroundings and charming rural setting made for the perfect escape. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to relax and unwind in nature!

Brooker Tiny Home: Rural Luxury
We stayed at the Brooker Tiny home in May 2025. It was autumn, and we had clear and chilly nights which was perfect for lighting fires inside the fireplace, campfire and the sauna. Brooker was compact but designed so well that it was comfortable for two adults and a chocolate labrador- plenty of space for lounging, reading and relaxation. The sauna was amazing with the view of the forest. The peaceful surrounds had walking trails into the forest at your doorstep! All of us enjoyed our stay and wish we could've stayed a little longer next to the Wombat forest. Thank you for hosting :)

Your guide to Mount Macedon
All About Mount Macedon
Sitting approximately 615 metres above sea level, Mount Macedon is a short drive northwest of Melbourne, and a popular spot for bushwalking, picnics, and invigorating weekend getaways. This picturesque town boasts several heritage gardens, as well as wild and rugged bushland, with over 30 kilometres of walking paths that wind through the Macedon Regional Park, past towering eucalypts, pine trees, and tall mountain ash. If you’re a keen hiker, you can complete the full loop, which takes around seven hours and takes you up a steep incline to the renowned Camels Hump rock formation, or choose from a range of shorter walks, with options for all levels of ability. Keep an eye out for wombats, echidnas, and all kinds of bird life, including rosellas, galahs, eagles, and blue wrens.
There’s also a golf course and lots of opportunities for road cycling, with some challenging options for experienced riders. Or, after expending some energy outdoors, you can explore nearby wineries, as the area is known for its cool climate wines and locally-distilled gin.
The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Mount Macedon
Mount Macedon changes with the seasons and is a beautiful place to visit any time of year. In autumn, the trees are a striking blend of colours, and in spring, the mountain is decorated with a rainbow of daffodils, magnolias, wisteria, and rhododendron. Mount Macedon is also an ideal destination for a winter getaway with cool days and potentially a sprinkling of snow. You may wish to time your visit around the opening of the gardens, many of which are listed by the National Trust. Forest Glade is open all year, whereas the Gardens of Tieve Tara are usually only open during spring and autumn. The Garden Lover’s Fair is held every October in the Bolobek gardens.
Top things to do in Mount Macedon
Memorial Cross Reserve
At the top of Mount Macedon you’ll find the Memorial Cross Reserve, which hosts a heritage-listed memorial honouring Australians who lost their lives in war. After Melbourne’s Shrine of Remembrance, this is considered one of the most significant war memorials in the state of Victoria. There’s a picnic and barbeque area in the reserve, as well as a tearoom where you can enjoy a cup of tea and some fresh scones with a view.
Hanging Rock Reserve
Though there’s a Pinnacle Walk to the summit, there are also several gentler, pram-friendly walks available, and a café where you can stop for refreshments. The area has plenty of areas for picnics and barbeques, and trout fishing in the dam is also popular with families.
Mushroom spotting
In winter and autumn, the national park is a renowned spot for mushroom spotting. Not many people know about the wide array of mushrooms that grow in the forests of Mount Macedon — in the dry, open woodlands on the northern and western slopes, as well as in the thicker forests and cool gullies. There’s a huge diversity to explore — but unless you have specific knowledge, or are with a guide, it’s wise to look rather than touch. Bring some firewood, picnic, and a hot thermos for a barbeque after your walk.
