### Boatshed Villas by Istana – Yellow Door

Boatshed Villa by Istana – Yellow Door | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom | Direct Access to Lake Daylesford  
  
Step through the Yellow door into this recently refurbished lakeside villa featuring real art and photography from leading Australian Artists including Rone, and Sofles. This stylishly curated villa with rich tones and plush wallpaper is located right next to the iconic Lake Daylesford with views through the trees to the Lake.  
  
Boatshed Villas have direct access to the spectacular Lakeside walk, are just a few doors up from the Award Winning Lake House Restaurant and are a short 10 min stroll into Daylesford. Sit in a plush beanbag next to the gas log fire listening to cool tunes or retire upstairs to the private mezzanine with a cozy couch to read a book or watch a movie.  
  
There is a spacious kitchen with everything you need to cook up a feast, a lovely deck outside with BBQ and seating under the trees or head into Daylesford or Hepburn to sample one of the great local cafes and restaurants. When its time to retire, enjoy a King Size bed with fresh clean hotel standard mattress and bedding  
  
Two separate Boatshed Villas offer flexible accommodation for two people in each villa.
