Gorgeous, peaceful setting. Kangaroos at dawn and dusk.

Located in a beautiful part of Victoria, 30 minutes away from Daylesford and Kyneton. The country air and view of large trees, native creatures and a place to bring our fury friend. Stephanie has out done herself with her cottages, she has thought of everything comfort and detail. There are other cottages on the property but they are far apart from the others. We stayed at the one bedroom cottage (see images).We had the perfect holiday and made it extra special to enjoy with our Golden girl Phoebe. We will be back for round 2, we feel very relaxed and unwound from busy Melbourne.

Unsure if it was listed like this but 2 bedroom cottage, second bedroom was upstairs which I was unaware of.

Friendly host. Cosy cottage. Good facilities. Lovely view with local animals and kangaroos on property

Didnt have time to spend a few more days there

The setting is perfect to escape and enjoy the beauty of nature around you

We stayed at the one-bedroom cottage, which was spotless, and had a generously sized bedroom and bathroom. The dwelling was equipped with a split-system air-conditioner, but we used the wood fireplace making it very cozy on the cold winter nights we spent there. The bathroom looked new, had a big shower area and the water temperature and pressure were great. Our pup was happy there - she ran around off-leash in the fenced backyard and even explored beyond the perimeter on-leash.

It’s was a spacious home and very clean. Stephanie was excellent and she showed us around the cottage and give us recommendations where we should go around the area.

I stayed in the one bedroom cottage close to the lake. It's lovely, bright and very clean, nicer and larger than it appears in the photos. It has a back porch where I often sat to enjoy the views and relax in the serene atmosphere. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming, and easy to reach if you need help. Thank you, Stephanie, for the pizza and brownies 😊 Overall, I enjoyed my stay very much and will go back for a longer stay.

Everything! The hosts were exceptional - we felt like friends visiting

This weekend away was a gift for my daughter and her partner, they loved it. They had so much praise for the accomodation, the surroundings and of course Stephanie who was very welcoming. The location was also very easy to get to and close to lovely places to visit. Would highly recommend. Thank you Stephanie for sharing such a wonderful place.

Im used to noise of a tv to go to sleep to so the wind and house noises took some getting used to. This isn't a fault of the place, just a personal preference. Gave me an opportunity to read my book instead. 🙂 There wasnt anything I didnt like. Will be back for sure.

Warm welcome upon arrival from Philip and even by phone from Stephanie, yummy home made pizza and fudge, spacious and clean living areas, bedroom, kitchen and bathroom with ample bench space, picturesque outlook, plenty of comfortable places to relax inside and outside, roos, ducks, geese and views. So much to love. Dog friendly with a secure yard, fireplaces for cold winter nights and two big reverse cycle airconditioners for summer. Was also an additional large bedroom and bathroom upstairs. Theres even a big dipper to get your adrenalin rush and give the kids a thrill on the road there from Malmsbury!

Beautiful gardens, cottage was very well appointed, spacious, everything was thought of. Both Stephanie & Philip went above & beyond. They were both very warm & welcoming. They provided freshly ground coffee beans for the coffee machine, home made fudge as well as pizza. Exceptional service.

Not surprising for a remote location, the internet was very slow. Something that should not worry you on holiday, but good to know if you plan to download any large documents, or something like that.

Stephanie's cottages are an idyllic choice in a rural setting, not too far from Daylesford, Castlemaine and Kyneton. We had the apartment in the main house: very comfortable, very quiet and very well equipped. Probably best to have lunch out and make a simple dinner at home , so you can avoid the country roads at night. Plenty of space to walk around the property, plenty of wildlife and nice plants. Stephanie and Phil are perfect hosts.

For a long stay, a few more kitchen implements - bowls for salad and mixing and egg beater would have been helpful.

Meals were not provided in this package but we were welcomed with a pizza and some sweet goodies. Stephanie was very welcoming and helpful. The setting was delightful - beautiful scenery and very quiet.

Shower drainage was somewhat blocked and the water overflew each time I had shower. From the cottage pictures, I expected bath tub, but the cottage we stayed only had shower. So it would be better if Stephanie clarifies each accomodation with either bath tub or shower. Inside the cottage was quite cold at night due to heavy rain too, but the fire place kept us warm. Inside the bed was pretty cold due to crispy cotton linen (would be great for summer) and quite heavy bedding. Stephanie had very comfy bed gowns and it would have been perfect if bedding was similarly warm and light weight.

Location and nature. We were greeted by Kangaroos every morning and late afternoon. Inside the cottage, there is an old style fire with real woods and it’s not easy to start the fire, but once you have the fire, it’s healing to look at.

Perfectly located to explore Kyneton, Daylesford, Mt. Macedon, Castlemaine & of course, Drummond. The cottage is cosy, stylish & well equipped. Set on a beautiful peaceful property with Stephanie being a very warm & welcoming host to us & our dogs. Would highly recommend!

There is a lot to like when staying at Stephanie’s Country Cottages. We stayed in the Homestead and loved it. The location is great and it was really nice to relax on deck and look out at the surrounding bush. Stephanie was a great host and made our stay enjoyable. We will be going back there again 100%.

It was great.

Beautiful, rural property with a great balcony and a gorgeous view. The cottage is spacious and the comfortable bed was especially confortbale. Lovely place to stay.

Stayed in July 2022

No soap handbasin . Fire didn't draw that well or wood was not that heat generating but still pleasant. Plastic flowers on pot belly. It might have been the smarter heater.

No breakfast. Lovely welcoming vegan pizza. Hot showers, fire to light and warm toes by. Peace.

Stayed in July 2022

Basic cooking facilities in the suite but we easily worked around this.

Beautiful serene property Ann loved the addition touches of vegan treats.

Leaving was hard!

Stephanie was a great host and the Cottage was lovely for anyone seeking a country experience. Loved seeing kangaroos outside in the mornings and evenings. Well stocked fireplace was much enjoyed for my winter visit. This place would be lovely through the seasons.
