Abelia Cottage was set in a great location, close to the centre of the Daylesford shopping centre, and close to the Wombat Botanical Gardens, where we had a pre arranged social group meet up.I found the bed in the master bedroom very comfortable and there was very effective heating available as our stay was in Winter.The property was fully fenced, which was a definite plus as we, my husband and I were travelling with our 9 year old great dane dog.Ky was a very attentive host and very informative on things to do and places to visit in the Daylesford area, including dining suggestions.

The property is in a great location, close to everything Daylesford has to offer, and the nightly rate was very reasonable. The cottage has a lot of charm, though it could benefit from a more thorough clean, and there is quite a bit of clutter which made it feel a little less spacious. The shower could also use some maintenance.The host greeted us on arrival and offered a walkthrough of the cottage. While we appreciated the gesture, we would have been comfortable settling in on our own. During the walkthrough, we were shown how to lock the doors, use the keys, and operate the massage chair. While this was likely intended to be helpful, it did feel a little overwhelming for us as two women travelling on our own, and we would have preferred a bit more space to get settled independently

Perfect Chillout Cottage

My friends and I were up for the Chillout Festival and had an incredible time at Ky's cottage. Ky provided excellent service from the moment I booked, following up with a welcome pack sent to the home. He was an excellent host. The cottage was conveniently located, only 15mins walk from the centre of town, and in a beautiful quiet spot of Daylesford, close to the Sunday markets! We had a fantastic time and look forward to coming back to Daylesford again!

Excellent Quiet Cottage BIEDLIFE

Abelia Cottage Botanical was excellent in many ways including, cleanliness,comfort, location and price. At the last minute my eldest daughter joined us with her Husband. The Cottage allowed everyone their own space when needed, as well as offering a huge living area together to enjoy each others company. The cottage has everything that you need and more, with some extra special touches that make it quite homely. Love the botanical setting too! We would definitely stay here again and we are planning another visit soon. Thanks again Ky from Anna 4/1/2016

Lovely property

My dog, Jilly (chihuahua), and I enjoyed our stay at Abelia Cottage in Daylesford. Ky was a fanatastic host and went the extra mile when we left Jilly's favourite toy behind! All aspects of the cottage were fantastic. The location suited both Jilly and I, with the lake across the road, and great cafe's within walking distance.
