Perfect location.

The cottage was perfect for getting ready before our daughters wedding and relaxing afterwards. Everything that we needed was there and it was such a beautiful location. Would certainly return to spend more time in Daylesford when we were less busy. Thank you Tony for the ease of check in.

Comfort Cottage

We just loved this cottage and it was beautifully appointed with everything anyone could need. A perfect position, with a view over the lake and the walking track right out the back. Very warm and cosy for a gorgeous winter getaway. I would highly recommend it and we plan to go back again when the weather warms up.

Perfect for a weekend getaway

I’ve stayed at this property 3 times now. Twice with a group of friends and once with my partner. Each time I visit the cottage I have an amazing time. It is beautifully furnished and backs onto the lake. I couldn’t have asked for a better location. It’s only a short walk to the town centre where there are plenty of great restaurants and cafes. I can not rate Waterside Cottage highly enough!

Beautiful cottage by the lake

Lovely property with stunning view from the deck of the lake. Well appointed kitchen and the most comfortable lounges I have ever sat on! If your 6'3 like me just watch out for the door way to the kitchen, cracked my head a few times! Tony was great to deal with also
