Easter in Daylesford
Fantastic property with a fabulous host. Everything you could want for a Daylesford getaway. Really well equipped kitchen, local produce for breakfast to greet you. A cozy, wam house full of comfortable spaces with views of a beautiful garden through every window. Close to town and the lake for a walk. Thoroughly recommend.

Loved the old record player
Querky decorations and a little bit dusty in places. The lack of a separate shower was a bit of a drawback. Otherwise had everything you need.

White House
Such a lovely home, lovely touches through out. A coffee machine would’ve been nice. Bath was a little difficult with the hand held shower.. but otherwise location and house was perfect.

Enchanting winter escape
This cottage was everything and more than we expected! The attention to detail, the coziness and period charm won us over as soon as we arrived. We would definitely stay again! It was just what we needed in the middle of this dreary Melbourne winter. Thank-you for sharing this beautiful space with us. Xx

About the host

Host profile image
I am in interior decorator/stylist who loves to collect one off finds around the world as well as local markets. I have over the years decorated not only my own properties (all on Stayz accommodation) but also, bars, cafes, hotels around Australia.

I love all of our 4 properties which are all one off and totally unique, however all share my signature brand of one off collections mixed in new furniture - I hope you love staying at any one of them should you stay with us!
