Such a relaxing property. The host was amazing. Everything set up for an enjoyable stay from welcoming chocolates, popcorn and marshmallows for the fire pit, to seed for feeding the ducks on the property. Loved waking up to kangaroos bouncing across the lawn. The home itself had everything we needed. Will definitely book again next year.

Ah the tranquility

We had a restful and peaceful stay at Edessa, just what we were after. The cottage was lovely and very comfortable, it was cold and raining outside but we were cosy and snug inside looking out at the wonderful views of bush and wildlife. A short distance from Daylesford and other towns in the area, we had the best of both worlds. Thanks

Beautiful

Got the warmest welcome from the hosts with a roaring fire, place was toasty. Enjoy this property nestled among the gum trees, lots of kookaburras, kangaroos in the garden at dusk and fall asleep to the sound of the frogs in the lake. It's tempting to just curl up in front of the log fire but it's a great base for visiting Daylesford and beyond. Loved it.

Beautiful property in a nice peaceful location. The property had everything we needed, very comfortable beds, all the kitchen amenities the we required, spacious bedrooms (enough space for our portacot for the baby) lovely sitting areas indoors and outdoors and lovely gardens with Kangaroos, ducks & goats. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
