Absolutely loved our stay at kookaburra cottage, perfect position, clean, warm and welcoming. Annie’s communication and welcoming perfect for a few days away. Will definitely book again when we visit Daylesford next time.
Annie is the perfect as is Kookaburra Cottage the perfect getaway to stay at in Daylesford. Perfect for our dogs with the secure backyard and the facilities make it feel like a home away from home. Annie always tries to accommodate any requests , needs and also offers fantastic suggestions of local venues to eat at and things to enjoy. We've stayed several times at Kookaburra Cottage as it's a no brainer anytime we holiday in Daysleford. Highly recommend!
Kookaburra Cottage was the perfect place for a cozy weekend retreat in Daylesford - we really enjoyed our stay! Annie was pleasant, communicative and quick to respond when we had questions.
We enjoyed our stay in a very cosy, clean and warm cottage despite the wet, cold few days in early August. Looking forward to revisiting Daylesford again soon hopefully with a bit of sunshine
Host (Annie) was great. She was very quick in communicating back to myself & answered everything I asked. Property was close to town and we felt very welcome with the extra small touches Annie had provided. Very cozy, definitely will return. 10/10 excellent!
Annie was an excellent host who was very responsive to any communication. The prop was in fabulous location and very comfortable for the 4 of us (and doggo)! The ducted heating was amazing especially given how cold it was in Daylesford overnight! Definitely recommended.
10/10 for Annie’s place. We arrived to a beautifully warm house and the heating kept us toasty all weekend long. We also brought some wood to take advantage of the open fire place. Beds were so comfortable and we have everything that we could need for our stay. We were also walking distance to restaurants, cafes and shopping which was a real bonus not having to move the car during our stay. Thanks for having us Annie.
Slightly misleading.We were 2 travellers, not a couple, staying in this 2 bedroom cottage. Missed that we needed to 'choose one room' to sleep in even though both beds were made up. Suggest that host locks one bedroom door or not advertise as a 2 bedroom, we assumed we had full access to the house.Otherwise great location, heater worked great.
Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2026

Hi Lucy,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review, and I’m pleased you enjoyed Kookaburra Cottage’s location and were nice and cosy with the heating.
I’m sorry there was some confusion regarding the bedroom arrangement. We certainly never want any guest to feel that our pricing is misleading.
Our listing explains that the advertised “from” price is based on two guests sharing one bedroom, with an additional charge if two guests require both bedrooms. We do this simply to keep the price lower for couples or two guests who only require one room, rather than building the cost of additional linen and servicing into every stay.
I also try to make this clear personally in the check-in information. For your stay, I advised that I had made up both bedrooms so you could choose whichever room you preferred.
We deliberately don’t lock the second bedroom, as different guests prefer different rooms and I would much rather give our guests the choice of where they would like to sleep.
That said, I appreciate your feedback and will take another look at the wording to see if we can make the arrangement even clearer for future guests.
Thank you again for staying with us, Lucy, and I hope you otherwise had a lovely time in Daylesford.
Warm regards,
Annie
Amazing work done on the inside of this quaint cottage, ideal for our time in Daylesford. Location is great, Annie the Host gave us a great time and made us feel welcome.
This was an ideal place for us and our little terrier.Warm and comfortable - a lovely space to relax.It is a really great location: walking distance to main shops and Daylesford Lake.
We had a wonderful stay, the home was warm & cosy from the moment we got there, communication with Annie was so prompt from start to end, thanks Annie for being such a great host. The yard was fully fenced & secure for our furbaby & it was also a hit with the frizby & ball, Ajay had so much fun! The home was walking distance to town & literally 2 minutes car drive to local amenities. Thanku! we will definately be back. Anna, Joe & Ajay
This quaint little cottage was perfect in every way. From the moment we entered the cottage we felt cosy and very happy with our choice. The warmth of the cottage, appropriate size for the three of us, the decore and how clean it was made us smile fom ear to ear. It's location was just perfect, we could walk into the center of the city with ease. The communication with the owner was most pleasing and Annie made sure our every need was catered for. I can't wait to go back again and I will be making another booking very soon. We lo Ed Kookaburra Cottage!
