Oak Cottage - Daylesford - 200m from everything

For reviews - see listing on Airbnb. I have been hosting since 2018.

Welcome to Oak Cottage, a charming retreat nestled in the heart of Daylesford!

Situated only a block from the bustling centre of town, you are close to Daylesford's cafes, restaurant and shops. Walk to Daylesford Lake, the Mill Market and the Lake House or take a short drive to nearby attractions such as the Wombat Hill Botanical Gardens, Hepburn Mineral Springs, and local wineries, cideries, and breweries.

Perfect for a romantic getaway or a small family retreat, our cozy 2-bedroom home offers a peaceful escape surrounded by nature's beauty.

Our home features two comfortable bedrooms, a spacious living area, fully equipped kitchen and balcony access with excellent views. The cottage has excellent heating, cooling and free wifi, ensuring you feel right at home.

Enjoy complimentary tea and coffee in the kitchen, and feel free to indulge in our selection of board games, DVDs and books during your stay.

You will have exclusive access to the entire home and surrounding gardens as well as off street parking.

We have been hosting guests at Oak Cottage since 2018 on a different platform. Recently, the cottage was used as a private long term rental and we have now transitioned back to offering short-term stays. We are excited to welcome guests once again. Property also available on Air. BnB. for more reviews and booking options.

The granny flat at the bottom of the block is private property, and not included as part of the listing.

This is a cosy, unpretentious cottage just off the main street in Daylesford. It is warm, and very well equipped with furniture and kitchen equipment. The larder was well stocked too. We had a delightful four nights there.

Magic stay

We had a lovely time in Daylesford. My 10 year old loved exploring and catching skinks. While the adults loved drinking coffee on the sunny balcony. Very close to the lake and shops. Perfect location. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed Would definitely stay here again Thank you Emily and Owen

Oak Cottage weekend

Comfortable, spacious, good amenities. Nice space on balcony with treetop outlooks. Lovely walk down to the lake and short walk to town. Good to not always rely on the car! We enjoyed our break and will be back. Cheers
