So lovely

We absolutely loved our stay at Karlens Retreat. Warm, cosy, sun drenched beautiful kitchen, comfy beds, lovely decor, gorgeous little wood fire and beautiful surrounds. Very tastefully and thoughtfully designed and felt so lovingly restored. . Quiet and relaxing, we felt immediately at home. Quick 2 minute drive to Daylesford and Hepburn Springs central. There are some winding steps down to the front door which are widely spaced but not too steep (for those with mobility issues there is a side gate which we did not open but may be accessed with owners permission?) Highly recommend!
