The gas fire and wine ready for our arrival were a lovely touch and the house was just as it had been described in its listing. The location of the property allowed us to explore Wombat Hill, the Convent and the Daylesford market by foot and the lake and main street were only a short drive away. We enjoyed a great meal at the Farmer's Arms just up the road. We'd definitely stay again! ##### Jen L. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bec C. May 6, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quick and quiet getaway with family Della Fonte is beautifully appointed, lovely views to the rear and right side of the property and has plenty of comfortable beds to choose from. Would comfortably fit 2 couples and 4 children with one those sleeping in the mezzanine area upstairs. The bottle of white wine left in the fridge was a nice touch, particularly appreciated as the getaway was a belated 40th celebration. A car is required to get to most places, The Farmers Arms is the closest place for meals but would advise booking ahead, especially on a Mon/Tue/Wed night as not many other places are open in town. Enjoyed the spa bath upstairs. The gas operated 'logfire' works a treat in the cold. Property managers were quick on the scene when maintenance was required. Would love to stay again. ##### Bec C.

Jun 22, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication, location #### Place was quite clean, bright,neat. Great hot water. As per above the property and house were neat and tidy and warm. However really disappointed, after sending an email to the manager on our departure that there was no reply (12 days ago). The TV in the loungeroom was constantly pixelating (had to play with the jack at back of tv a hideous amount of times) which was extremely frustrating. The washing machine with its door handle broken and taped up was not able to be used. (With an extra large family this was a necessity). There was a steady flow of ants above the bench in the kitchen and also near the window in the meals area. There was a blown lamp in ground floor toilet. Can appreciate that a lamp can go anytime so don't want to sound like a whinger. Didn't want address these issues at the time as it was a long weekend and wouldn't think any of the issues would be addressed there and then. I would have thought the manager would have contacted me by now. Just being honest. ##### Katia F. ### 10/10 Excellent #### yi R. May 2, 2019 #### everything is good everything is good ##### yi R.
