The house was perfect. Plenty of space and the kitchen had everything we needed. Even though it rained the whole trip we had a great time.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
House was clean, beds were comfortable and plenty of t owels supplied. Our only complaint is that the gardens were very unkempt ( we do realise that it is a bush setting ....but still . Weeds overgrown small branches etc, but we were looking forward to game of bocce because we could see one in the pictures, but the court was full of weeds and leaves ( no rake in sight). Apart from those things - we did enjoy our stay in your area. We had nice lunches in a few of the local ea teries.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you found the house clean and comfortable and enjoyed exploring the local area.
We appreciate your comments regarding the garden and bocce court- being a bush setting it can be a challenge to maintain, but this has been passed on to our team for attention. Thanks again for staying with us!
We really enjoyed our stay here. Was lovely waking up to the sound of birds and the sun peeking through the trees. The amenities inside were great and well thought of the only issue was the hot water running out quickly and the showers going from hot to cold
Would recommend this place

Hi Monique
Thanks for you lovely review
Re the hot water we have organised a new heat pump which will solve the issues with this
Many thanks
Great house for our four couples. Combustion fire and split systems kept us warm in very cold outdoor conditions.Daylesford, Trentham, the Falls and more all just a short drive away.Would thoroughly recommend.

Thanks for letting us know how much you enjoyed your time at Selo, Neil.
A great place to stay with beautiful views. The property was clean, well maintained and look better than the photos. The house was well stocked making our stay really enjoyable. We would definitely come back. Only comments are that more firewood would have been great.

Stunning house with everything you need, just 10 mins from Daylesford but a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city. View out to trees from every window. Very comfy couch, kitchen well equipped. Nice and cosy on a cold weekend.
