Family-friendly holiday rentals in Hepburn Shire

Lovely cedar house in bush setting

This is a beautiful house in the peaceful neighbourhood that has a close proximity to all you need in Daylesford e.g. supermarket and town area. We highly recommended! Andrew is also proactive and provided a clear instructions and communication for our stay.

We had a lovely stay. Check in was easy. It’s a cosy, clean and comfortable space. We loved all the wonderful art around the property. We also enjoyed the jacuzzi on the deck. It was a short walk into town and just around the corner from the Mill market. We could hear our neighbours easily but they weren’t there for the whole weekend.

Michele was super lovely and hospitable. The space was perfect for us and I’d highly recommend it to any couple looking to get away. Furthermore, it’s right next to a Japanese day spa and the spa in the accomodation itself made the night. We’ll definitely be back.

We had a great weekend away with family. It’s a beautiful house that really highlights that country feel.

Jennifer and David’s house is a fabulous place to stay in Daylesford! The house itself is modern, clean, spacious, has excellent amenity, and special bonus features including pool, spa and sauna! Communication was easy, always prompt and informative. Will be back. Highly recommend!

Loved our stay at Tara, lovely cottage and great location. Everything you needed including extra blankets for cold winter nights. Enjoyed our walk into town for breakfast. Thanks Kaley and John

Spent 2 nights La Boheme. We really enjoyed our stay here. The place is in the middle of nature with plenty of wildlife. The highlight was definitely the regular kangaroos bouncy past the house. The location is perfect with plenty to do and plenty to see.

Kathy's place is wonderful. Plenty of yard space for the dogs with some farmyard animals. The welcome basket and platter of tasty foodstuffs was lovely. Thanks Kathy!

We had a great stay at Daylesford Country Retreats. The accommodation was just as described and as per the photos. The beautiful scenery around the property made our stay so peaceful. We will definitely be coming back again. Thank you for having us!

Emma’s place was fantastic. We all fit very comfortably and location was perfect for walking to get breakfast or dinner and Emma was very helpful. Would gladly stay again :)

This is our second stay at Andy and Pauls place. It was just as awesome as our first stay. The place is clean, warm, comfortable and well thought out. We felt right at home within the beautiful surroundings of Daylesford.

Fabulous cosy cottage, beautifully styled, comfy bed and lovely big bath. Perfect for a night or two and surrounded by bush - kangaroos aplenty and farm animals on your doorstep.

This property was so clean. Very nicely presented and had everything we needed. Access was a little difficult for mobility issues and small car, just due to the parking space and slope the property sits on. Very comfy, I fell asleep on the couch more than once, and the space is fantastic for kids and dogs.

Very comfortable stay for 12 people. Spacious enough for everyone to be able to relax. Beds extremely comfortable. Beautiful home. Would definitely book again for a large group of people

Barbara and Brad’s farm was a beautiful place to stay for the Ballarat marathon weekend. It’s a bit like a motel- we had the 4 person suite which was 2 double beds sharing a bathroom and kitchenette. There was another family of 10 that had booked the rooms next door. The main kitchen, fire pit and garden is shared so if there’s another large group you will definitely see them. The rooms were super clean and thoughtfully renovated, Barbara has clearly put in lots of thought with double glazed windows, split heating/cooling, filtered water in the taps, noise insulation (we couldn’t hear the other groups at all) etc. the garden is also beautifully landscaped and overlooks the sheep docks and mountains. Very serene and peaceful. The kitchen is also super well stocked with bbq we used to make burgers, fridge, stove, microwave, plates, mugs utensils etc for cooking dinner. There is also nespresso machine with pods as well as lots of tea and hot chocolate, milk. 25 mins from Ballarat.

Staying in farm was a great experience. Claire & Alistair are amazing hosts. Alistair told me some amazing stories from his experience, took us to show his farm and some really beautiful views from the property. Highly recommended.

Highly recommended. Place is easy to find, house is very clean. Quiet area, no traffic and very peaceful. Close to shops and amenities. My family enjoyed staying here, is perfect for a family of 4. Shelley is a great host, friendly and easy to communicate. House has lots of amenities on offer like a washer and dryer, WiFi, linen. Plus loads more, too many to list. You’ll feel right at home, just like me and the rest of family!

The house and outside surroundings were absolutely stunning. The kids had so much space to play and loved meeting and feeding the friendly animals. Sarah was a fantastic host and we would love to return one day in the future.

We stayed at Pip's place for my 25th birthday girls trip and it was nothing short of amazing! Pip provided everything we needed from clean linen, little soaps & shampoos like they have at hotels, and a cosy warming fire complete with all the wood we needed! Thank you Pip! Will certainly recommend to friends :)

This was our (10 High School Friends from the 1970’s) second stay at Cathy and Peter’s property. Didn’t disappoint. Beautiful peaceful place, beautiful surroundings, fantastic home and cottage, clean with everything you need. Felt very at home. Thanks Cathy and Peter. Can’t wait to come back again.

Thank you Vincent for allowing us to hold our tiny elopement in your home and garden. Although the house is not quite as "fancy" as the staged and edited photos gave the appearance of it being, it ended up being the perfect cosy getaway for relaxing family time. My new wife and I enjoyed a magical two days here with our loved ones, and appreciated the comfort and cosiness of the house and amenities. The beds were delicious and warm even though one night dropped to -1, and the central heating was delicious. The bathrooms and kitchen were spotless, and all beds arranged exactly as we had requested. Vincent was also extremely responsive to all of our questions ahead of time and even welcomed us along to visit the house beforehand to help us with our planning. Vincent was a gracious host and if we ever have a family gathering again we'd love to stay here. Being able to walk to pubs, cafes, and even Coles also made York House extremely convenient for all!

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It’s very cosy and clean. There’s everything you need in the kitchen. There were even games and colouring books for the kids. There are farms around you so it’s perfect if you want to escape the hustle of the city. Just a quick drive to all the sights in the area. Kylie is a very friendly and helpful host, always responded quickly. We would definitely come back.

We had a lovely stay. Took in the views from the many locations on the property. Fire pit in the afternoon was a treat for a Uke strum and sing along. Could have stayed for a week! Thanks David. Was great to meet you on arrival and hear the history of the property. It's a special place!
