A bright and cozy Chalet-style lodge nestled away amongst 3 acres of gorgeous Aussie woodland. Sizeable yet homey, the Lodge boasts 7 bedrooms, making it perfect for a group looking to escape the metropolitan bustle. Enjoy watching kangaroos and other native wildlife graze through the eucalypt trees on crisp mornings or at dusk, after a long day of relaxing with housemates or colleagues. Just down the road from this idyllic property, the placid Lake Daylesford and its famous Lakehouse Restaurant offer a great starting point to explore a surrounding area full of cafés, eateries, curio shops and galleries.

Feel like staying in? The Lodge‘s spacious interior is ideal for entertaining groups. A beautiful, rustic table seats 17 in a dining room that sparkles with natural light from large windows overlooking the property. The adjoining kitchen, again well-lit with an outdoor view, has all the necessary appliances as well as a substantial 1200mm oven with a 5 burner stove top, making cooking for the group a pleasant experience.

After eating your fill, look to relax in one of the two living rooms. Like most rooms in the Lodge, these roomy lounges have several windows with a view of the open. Large, comfy couches and chairs sit cozily around a wood-fire coonara; an ideal alternative to gas or electric heating, perfect for creating a warm and hospitable space for group recreation.  

The wooden deck at the front of the house is the perfect place to enjoy this private property with your friends. Equipped with a verandah, outdoor table and barbeque, the deck offers a spectacular outdoor dining experience with the grass and trees within arms reach. Sit, eat and enjoy surrounded by the sights, smells and sounds of the Australian countryside while being just a doorway away from the snug Lodge and a good night’s rest.

The simple yet stylish bedrooms have fans to cool you on a hot summer night, with many also having windows to further connect you with nature. Bright, plain walls and light wooden ceilings keep these spaces open and fresh, with bedside tables and drawers for convenience. For those with small children and toddlers, a baby gate on the stairs makes a small but necessary contribution in welcoming families to the Lodge.

Feel free to use and enjoy this group-oriented space as your own private country retreat, far from the loud intrusiveness of the city.
