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.

Response from VrboOwner on 15 Sept 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

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.

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!

This is our second stay with Annie, we always feel so welcome. Check in is such a breeze, the cleaning is of such a high standard. The home has everything you need to cook, relax, have a fire and enjoy the local area. Loads of blankets and great heating so you are never cold. We stayed with our little dog and the backyard is very secure and great space to play ball. Can’t wait to come back.
