About this property

Deckhaus Hepburn - Spacious Bush Retreat Just Minutes from Daylesford

Tucked among the trees in beautiful Hepburn, Deckhaus is a spacious contemporary retreat designed for relaxed country escapes with family and friends.

Set within an established bush garden, the home feels peaceful and private, with native birdlife and local wildlife often passing through the property. Large windows throughout the home bring in lovely natural light and create a seamless connection to the outdoors, making it an inviting place to unwind in every season.

At the heart of Deckhaus is a generous open-plan kitchen, dining and living area with polished timber floors, comfortable furnishings and plenty of space to gather. Whether you’re cooking a long lunch in the fully equipped kitchen, sharing a meal around the dining table, or settling in by the gas log fire with a glass of wine, the home is designed for comfort and easy entertaining.

The home offers three spacious bedrooms, two large bathrooms plus an additional powder room, making it ideal for couples, families or small groups wanting room to spread out and relax.

Step outside to the expansive entertaining deck with multiple seating areas and a built-in plumbed gas BBQ — the perfect spot for a quiet morning coffee, a lazy afternoon amongst the trees, or dinner outdoors after a day exploring the region.

Deckhaus is just a short drive from Daylesford town centre, with cafés, restaurants, galleries, mineral springs and spa experiences all within easy reach.

Well-behaved pets are welcome. Please note the property is not fully fenced, and dogs are required to remain on lead while outdoors due to the local wildlife that move through the garden.

Whether you’re visiting for a weekend away with friends, a family gathering, or simply a peaceful escape to recharge, Deckhaus offers a warm and comfortable base to enjoy everything Hepburn and Daylesford have to offer.

We enjoyed a fabulous family Christmas holiday at Deckhaus. It was a beautiful, clean, modern home with a lovely large living area for family gatherings, and space for privacy as well. The spacious kitchen and laundry area were well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The large outdoor deck was private and we were delighted to be visited by kangaroos, kookaburras and a splendid, very friendly, peacock. We loved our stay!

We all enjoyed our stay here. It is a truly beautiful area. The kitchen had everything in it to cook up a storm. The family could spread out and each bedroom had a tv which was a bonus as was the airconditioning and heating. Loved the garden and birds. The photos of the house do not capture how lovely the house etc actually is. The one thing that was a little disappointing was the mattresses on the beds were a bit soft. This would not prevent us from rebooking this house. The neighbours are wonderful and very helpful.

An absolutely superb getaway

Our family had an absolutely wonderful stay during Jan 25 with the abundant wildlife, culinary options and amazing local attractions. The home was superbly appointed, spacious and very well equipped in the kitchen. Absolutely beautiful and made even more memorable and special by the birdlife and the resident peacock who visited us every day. Truly beautiful, thanks

Great pet-friendly weekend stay

Deckhaus is warm, spacious, comfortable and well-appointed. The big windows added lots of light and gave the house an open feeling. We stayed as a family with two small dogs over a weekend and had a great time. This would be one of the best short-term stay properties we have used. Highly recommended.

Relaxing Stay

Spacious and well-equipped house, perfect for a family stay with our dog. Although there are other houses nearby, the house is cleverly positioned to provide privacy and to take advantage of the north aspect and garden views from the lounge room and large outdoor decks. The lovely native garden invited visits from wildlife, including kangaroos, cockatoos and even a peacock one morning. The house has easy street access and Hepburn Springs is a short drive away, so it was no trouble to go out to dinner or pop out for takeaway food (we enjoyed the wood-fired pizzas from Hepburn Pizza). Would definitely stay here again.

Superb

The photos attached to this property does not do it justice. It is an absolutely beautiful and well thought out house. It was cozy and suited a girls weekend!! It had all the little touches! Love the many teapots to choose from and the tea strainer!!! Only one suggestion, change the hot tub mention in the list of amenities to spa bath. i was looking forward to the hot tub on one of the decks but then realise it was probably referring to the spa bath. All of us sitting in a spa bath in a bathroom is somehow different to all of us sitting in a hot tub on a deck! but that's by and by. We had such an excellent time regardless!! Love love this place. Will definitely come back.

Spacious modern home in verdant setting

Generously appointed large home, with open plan lounge, kitchen and dining area with table for up to 8. Well-appointed kitchen with large fridge and 900 wide oven and huge laundry. Ample ‘everything’ ie plates, glasses, platters for Christmas lunch for 7. Master bedroom with separate deck and gorgeous ensuite including bath with a view to the garden. Other bedrooms are at the other end of the house with shared bathroom, walk in shower. Beds were comfy with good linen and pillows. All bedrooms have TVs and seating space and there are games, DVDs and quality magazines. The house has a lovely vibe – quiet aircon, openable windows with flyscreens, blinds for shade. The deck overlooks the garden, BBQ and bush area. The garden is not fenced on all sides but a delightful place to wander with various areas to sit and observe the abundant bird life. The garden is very well cared for, as is the house. Neighbours were quiet, including kangaroos which came by most mornings. Quiet and convenient location, several options for walks to the town and a lot of interesting areas to explore nearby. Enjoyed free swims at the Daylesford pool, walks to the springs or up to Harry’s for coffee. Communication with our host was excellent and we appreciated the extra Christmas touches around the house, which made our stay more festive. Would highly recommend esp if you enjoy cooking and dining in, sleeping and staying put, but also a great base for the areas attractions. NB there are steps up and down within the house ie between the entry>to lounge> kitchen and that might be an issue for elders with poor mobility or little ones. Dogs need to be quiet and restrained so as to not disturb the wildlife.
