House has everything you need for a fab stay. Its super clean, warm, comfortable and cozy. Its a short easy walk to town, which has everything you need. Trentham is a beautiful small town, with all the charm of Daylesford, without the crowds. We were surprised at how many local attractions were close by. We drove to Daylesford, which was 15 minutes away. Mike suggested a local driver, who was great. He dropped us off and picked us up from Red Hare and Passing Clouds Wineries. We had a weekend of fun, food and wine. Cant wait to come back....again ##### Nicole A. Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth M.
