Lovely cottage

Stayed many times over the years. Special place home away from home. Warm and cosy in cold weather. Views to die for. Easy walk into Daylesford. Accessible helpful hosts. Can’t fault anything about this cottage. Exactly as it looks in photos.

Perfect getaway

The property was absolutely lovely. The location overlooking the lake was fantastic. We only stayed for two nights but hopefully will return for a longer stay in the future. (It was also perfect for our fur baby❤️).

Home away from home

This is the second time we have stayed at Lake Daylesford Cottage we love it so much. The position is right on the lake with wonderful views into the distance. The house is extremely comfortable with everything you could possibly need for a short or long stay - it feels like our home away from home & we can’t wait to return.

Simply beautiful

This is the second time we have stayed, and it has been heaven both times! Breakfast in the sun overlooking the lake, an easy walk to shops and food and nature everywhere! We feel relaxed and recharged. Thanks to Rodney and Denise for being wonderful hosts.

Family Short Break

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage by the lake! The house is gorgeous, very clean and the view is fantastic! We especially appreciated all the thoughtful touches left by Rodney and Denise, even some for our toy poodle - she loved them! All in all a thoroughly enjoyable stay, thank you

About the host

Hosted by Rodney Robinson

Daylesford used to be our Melbourne escape and we wanted the weekends to get longer, eventually we gave away the city traffic for fresh air, lake views and no traffic lights. Our village is stylish, vibrant and welcoming - I love golf at Hepburn Springs and my wife Denise gets creative as floral stylist to Lake House.

In Leggatt Street on our side of the lake there are only a handful of properties for rental, right in the middle of the action - walks, views, water, the morning sunrise a gift - where else would you want to be?
