Avignon - located near Daylesford

It was a really lovely stay. The house was perfect, we had everything we needed

An amazing weekend away from the hustle and bustle of the city. I organised this weekend for my dear friends Hen's Weekend, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Avignon is a beautiful scene as soon as you pull into the driveway. Very handy to have the kitchen fully stock with pots, pans, plates and glasses.

Close enough to Daylesford to enjoy all of the shops and Day Spa's.

Already planning another girls weekend away here for my mother and sister, and would also love to bring my partner and 2 dogs up here for a romantic getaway.

Thankyou Avignon for a beautiful weekend to remember, I cant wait to come back for another relaxing break.

Being unfamiliar with the area I booked Avignon as it read short drive to Daylesford. This cottage is a 20 minute drive from Daylesford in quite a remote location - it would have to be at least 10km from a shop of any kind.

The cottage was nicely decorated but very cold on arrival and takes the wood fire to warm it up. If you run out of fire wood in the book it says you might have to bring your own?? Lucky when I ran low I went out and after a good look around found some under a big tree! The driveway was muddy and as I had my 2 dogs this was a problem. Due to the above I found the property to be over priced. I did like the property it just wasn`t what I was looking for.

We spent 2 nights at this property in the middle of winter. Unfortunately we ran out of firewood on the first night and there was no wood stack. The door handle on the outside of the main bedroom door dropped off and my sister was locked in the room whist I was out getting supplies . She was quite distressed when I managed to open the door. There are no breakfast supplies and there was no salt or pepper . Rather disappointing for a $500 charge .

We loved Avignon, it had everything we needed. Great kitchen, the owner supplied just about everything you need and the bedrooms were lovely and comfy. The pot belly fire was fantastic and warmed the whole house day and night. The garden was great - the kids loved exploring outside and playing with the resident goat who was very friendly and loveable. We will definitely be returning to Avignon. I highly recommend this house for a weekend getaway to relax and unwind.
