Glorious Garden

Sensational stay with family for my daughters wedding. The garden was a perfect location for pre wedding shots. The house was well appointed and spacious for our large group. Fiona was easy to communicate our needs with and made our stay easy. The hamper was sensational and enjoyed by one and all.

Tranquility

I booked the Coach House because my husbands 60th was at the Daylesford Cidery. Our friends were definitely impressed! The house was spacious, clean, warmth was not an issue, beds extremely comfortable. Would highly recommend this outstanding, historic building for a group gathering!!

Amazing property in a perfect location

As we were getting married at the nearby Lakehouse, we needed somewhere close but big enough the house us and a number of overseas guests. The coach house was the ideal location, a wonderful building steeped in history with ample space and amazing grounds overlooking the lake on either side. The host, Fiona, provided clear instructions and responded to all questions quickly. Definitely recommend and we would love to stay again in the future.

An amazing birthday at Daylesford Coach House

A lovely property. Everything we hoped for. All ten friends who called in on Saturday were blown away with the grandeur of the building. Our family were totally chuffed with the facilities, the extensive garden and the views from the balconies. Congratulations on bringing this delightful old lady back from its former run-down shell.

Absolutely fantastic

The Coach House was fantastic. We go a couples weekend every year for the past 14 year with 6 couples and go between NSW or Victoria. This year Daylesford and what a fabulous long weekend. It also was The Chili festival- very colorful. The house was beautiful decorated with plenty of everything in the well stocked kitchen. We spent quite allot of time out on the back balcony overlooking the lake. Thanks for having us Fiona

Great for large families

The location of this property is right on the lake with walk trails along spring sites right out the door. The place was very clean and the beds very comfortable. About a 15-20 minute walk into Daylesford or a few minutes drive. Definitely would stay here again with our extended family!

Simply outstanding

The photos didn’t do it justice, I was worried these were good photos and the home wouldn’t live up to them, but instead the photos don’t bring the soul of the home alive. Every piece of the home and gardens we’re immaculate, kitchen is well supplied and the finishing touches were perfect. We will be back!!!

The Coach House is very grand residence.

We had a girls weekend away. The Coach House easily accommodated the 14 guests. We visited one of the day spas. It was an easy walk to the boathouse for lunch. Numerous restaurants for dinner within walking distance. We had breakfast on the verandah overlooking the lake it was so relaxing! The large couches were comfy as were the beds. There was air conditioning in every bedroom. Everything we needed was on hand. There was even a lovely welcome hamper. A wonderful weekend had by all. Would highly recommend staying here! Thank you Fiona!

Grand stay at a grand place.

A truly lovely stay at this special place. It is grand as soon as you open the front door and gradually begin to discover the magic in every room and that's even before you are confronted by the beauty of the lake and the enchanting garden!
