Girls weekend away in Daylesford
What a great time we had at our girls weekend away in Daylesford. The house was lovely and clean and very well equipped. We didn't need anything extra! The property was a 5 minute walk to the main street so everything was close to hand. Thanks for a great stay!

Excellent location, large and very comfortable home
Our group of 4 had a fabulous visit to Hillside. It was very clean and had a lovely ambience. The home is only 5 minutes from town (a flat walk which is not the case for all rentals in DayleSford!)

Lovely weekend stay
I stayed here for two nights with friends while in Daylesford. The house was as advertised, with plenty of room for our group and an excellent location just two minutes walk from the shops and restaurants. Check in was easy and the house was very well equipped. Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful house, shame about the cleanliness
Property was as described however cleaning was clearly not as described Pros Nice big house Lots of potential Great location, within walking distance to shops and restaurants Quiet neighbourhood Generous with towels Bedding was clean and crisp Beds were professionally made Plenty of cutlery and crockery Cons House was dirty and dusty with hair on the rugs, cobwebs through out the house Musty smell on opening the door An empty soap dispenser in toilet hand basin (we decanted soap from one of the other bathrooms) 3 empty bottles of dish washing detergent Recycling bin was overflowing Rubbish bin was full Hairdryer unsafe, did not have the safety cap on the back, hairdryer sucked up my friends hair. She lost a handful of hair Front lawn was unmowed

Lovely home, close to town
The house was exactly as described. We arrived on a freezing day, to a lovely warm home with the fireplaces already lit and the lamps on for a cosy feel. It’s close to town, great to wander in for dinner at one of the local restaurants or pick up supplies to cook in the the well equipped kitchen. 2 living areas gave our family lots of room to spread out. Thanks for a lovely week.

The house is as described, in a fantastic location. The only issue we had was on check-in, where the house had not been cleaned from previous guests. This was rectified quickly by Mario, who promptly organised 3 cleaners, however it delayed check-in by approx 2 hours

The house was very suitable and comfortable for our group of eight. Close to all amenities and loverly surrounds of Daylesford. Ceiling fans need cleaning, as do the windows.
