Welcome to Poets Lodge, an extra ordinary escape to luxury accommodation in country Victoria. This is a magical place, it is both home and haven, a place to breathe and witness the change of seasons, a place to simply enjoy each other’s company. Close the door on everything, take time to read, think and relax. Light the fire, run a hot bath, prepare breakfast, slip back into freshly ironed linen sheets. Poets Lodge is a unique hameau, a blend of contemporary and colonial past, where modern living and heritage are seamlessly blended. We are located in the heart of Daylesford, only a few minutes walk to everything. Poets Lodge comprises three separate accommodation offerings. Reserve individually or all three for group stays.
