About this property

Hepburn Cottage, A quite acre.

Hi everyone, thanks very much for looking to book the property we really appreciate it.

We have completely reshaped and relaid the driveway so it’s quite accessible and user friendly.

There are approximately 10mtrs of steps down to the cottage as it sits in a small valley.

The night rate for the cottage is $215, if you book for more than 4 nights the rate is capped at $850 per week, about $120 per night.
For some reason stayz advertise this rate , $120 , as our standard nightly rate. I apologise for the confusion.


Hepburn cottage is a lovely cosy miners cottage nestled into over an acre of quiet bushland. Only a short 400mtr walk from the Hepburn Spa complex and the shops, cafes and restaurants of Hepburn springs, while only 3 Klm's from Daylesford township.

With a wood fire, comfortable and stylish furniture and a newly appointed kitchen and large bbq deck.

This intimate, tasteful miners cottage is an excellent place to retreat from the city, wind down and enjoy the sounds of the bush in a practical and welcoming space. Set on over an acre of bushland with access to bush tracks for both walking and biking.

The surrounds are great for families and pets with lots of areas to play and explore well away from a main road.

The kitchen has been recently updated with plenty of room to cook for the family or friends or simply prepare a morning coffee on the stove top prior to walking to the local cafe Henry’s for breakfast, or have a BBQ and on the deck and enjoy the bbq or the fire pit on top of the steps.

The house has a spa bath , great natural light , is private and secluded yet walking distance to both the spa house and cafes.
Free 4G wifi is available in the Cottage and a Smart TV has been installed.
The Cottage offers a quiet place to relax, listen to the fire and step away from the city for a while.

The road up to the Cottage is gravel and the turn off to the drive way is well marked. Our big old 2 wheel drive has no problem negotiating it all year round. The Cottage does have steps up and down to the front door with a hand rail.

We are not always able to take back to back bookings on the same day, please just ask in an Enquiry if that’s where your dates sit.

The Cottage has no laundry so for stays over a week we offer the discount. A washing machine has been set up under the deck for those staying longer than a couple of days.
There is now no linen in the cottage, you will need to bring your own sheets , towels and doona covers. This helps us to keep the rental costs down as we service the cottage ourselves.

Beautiful tucked away cottage
Location is perfect, we walked up to the Hepburn Brew Co. House is cosy and has everything you could need, surrounded by trees. Saw some kangaroos in the back yard, while cooking on the BBQ. Loved our stay, I’ll be back for sure, thanks Ben!

Magic little cottage
We love to be in a natural environment with some privacy. This was the perfect place for us. Even though not far from the centre, it seemed remote to sit on the veranda and listen to the birds. The cottage was set up for us with everything we needed and the communication was clear and easy. Would go back any time. Trudi

Great location for a quiet getaway! So relaxing to cosy up to the fire, but central to head into town for a great meal or coffee! Our pup fully enjoyed the backyard. Great communication throughout the process by our host Ben! Would definitely come back 😃

Location is perfect and the cottage is great for whoever likes old fashioned style and natural view of trees in a valley. It could be better with a washing machine and a dishwasher.

Why they chose this property

The Cottage is only 400mtrs to the Hepburn Spa house and a short walk to the Main Street, however situated in a small valley you would think you are miles from anywhere.

What makes this property unique

Plenty of room for children and pets to explore, well off the main road and close to many walking tracks.
