Eliza chose to stay at Martin on Main for another break. She know why we love it - so peaceful, but in the middle of everything. We love having repeat guests. They chose a great weekend - the Easter Carnival and Music Festival and lucked it with the sublime weather. Of course we'd love to have them back again or recommend them to you.
Quiet area with lots to do close by - we spent time in Daylesford and at Hanging Rock - did lots of walking.
House was perfect for us and owner was great to deal with.
We really enjoyed our 3 night stay at Cosy & Warm, a very cute cottage in a beautiful bushland setting and only a short stroll to cafes and shops. Everything was provided for us and was lovely and clean.

A pleasure to host you! I hope that you enjoyed some rides on your e-Bikes. Thank you also for leaving the place neat and tidy - my cleaner could barely tell you'd stayed. You are wonderful guests. Welcome back anytime!
We loved our stay in your quaint cottage. It was cute, small, but very compact with everything we needed on hand. Exceptionally clean and loved the location.
Highly recommend to future travellers.

Glad you liked our place too and appreciated the effort we go to.
MoM was a wonderful winter escape! Cozy and warm, very welcoming. Check in was a breeze, the welcome guide was very informative. The beds were perfect for a long winters night. And sitting by the window reading while local wild life hopped by to say hello was the perfect way to spend a frosty afternoon. The town is small and charming, we ate at the local pub and picked up morning coffees just across the street. Plus, just a very short drive to Trentham and its Farmer's Market. 5/5.
quiet setting..close to local pub..great coffee at post office..short drive to trentham ..

Dear Catherine, thanks for choosing to stay at our place again. It is a little secret in the centre of everything in the middle of nowhere, with everything you need.
Cosy winter stay over a cold weekend where we woke up to an icy frosted landscape - quite beautiful! The great fire and heaters kept us warm and we had some great first walks and local pub meals. Really quiet and lovely place to stay off the main tourist path.

Dear Amelia, thank you for such a lovely review! What a special experience to wake up warm and cosy to a frost of -4 to -6.C see the landscape from a different perspective. A lovely time to experience some walks. Yes MoM is a peaceful place, slap band in the centre of everything in the middle of nowhere! Somewhere to reset and recharge!
