Beautifully decorated & very comfortable

We all enjoyed our stay - adults, teenagers and dog. We noted the proximity to the main road on arrival, and that wasn't an issue at all. We didn't hear any cars during the day or night. Great stay - thank you. There is so much to see and do in the area.

Delightful Daylesford getaway

Wayfarer cottage was a beautifully presented property with attention to detail that made it homely and comfortable. Located in a quiet street and a short walk (10 mins) to town, the location was great. The layout of the bedrooms makes suited to families. Overall the extra touches (like the wine and chocies on entry) showed pride in the property and it was a very delightful stay.

Beautiful relaxing cottage

From the moment we walked inside, we felt we were somewhere special. The beautiful decor, the welcome hamper pack and wine, the fully equipped kitchen with coffee machine (and lots of pods), everything you needed was provided for. A short drive into town, it was the ideal location. My family including pup loved our stay. We can not wait to be back again. Thank you!
