Perfect relaxed property for a group share. A group of 10 friends thoroughly enjoyed our stay, both cooking ‘at home’ and going out locally. A good 20 minute walk to the centre of town, so easy to access cafes and shops. Right near the interesting Mill Markets. Beautiful front garden that would be well shaded for a summer meal outside. Adrian is a great host.

The house is very old and consists of a number of separate areas where small groups could meet but with a very large common area near the main kitchen where the full group can be together for important moments such as meals/celebrations etc.The kitchen is very spacious with an excellent arrangement of items to make any meal option very easy as well as an external BBQ.Three bathrooms each with toilet made for a very comfortable stay also.Our visit was near end of winter and the heating option is excellent with the whole house readily heated along with individual control for all bedrooms and common areas.Although they can be noisy there is an abundance of birdlife attracted to the trees/gardens - Cockatoos, Kookaburras, Rosellas (mostly Crimson), Ducks and the occasional Magpie.The Host (Adrian) was excellent with very easy contact possible through web-messages or mobile phone.

Spacious and a photographic location with a different feel

Spacious clean and a photographic location with a different feel to traditional accommodation. Gardens and the trampoline provided ample entertainment for the kids. Could improve on the bathrooms especially in the main building, but not a big deal.

Hi Krishantha, bathrooms in the main house have been upgraded. Thank you for bringing the issue to our attention. It was difficult to find a non booked time to do the required work at first, but COVID provided plenty of down time, and a chance to do the renovations. Regards, Adrian.

Wonderful place to stay!

This was wonderfully suitable for our family of 16 (3 generations) to gather. Enough room to be together (in the living/dining area or outside) and plenty of space for smaller groups or individuals to have some quiet time. I was impressed that there was plenty of crockery and the BBQ and picnic boxes were great. We loved the personal touches - sheet music, books, paintings etc, and the seasonal decorations. I can't recommend highly enough!

Very cosy

My large family of 14 plus 3 babies recently stayed for a weekend at Tasma House, Daylesford. We had a wonderful time there. The huge rustic living room/ kitchen is great for a big group. The property is cosy, comfy and authentic. The bed linen is crisp and white. The children thoroughly enjoyed the garden and the in ground trampoline. Adrian, our host was delightful. We look forward to returning in the future.” Sally Browne
