A delightful bluestone cottage in a great location. The area is quiet and has spectacular views across the valley behind. Our dogs loved exploring the large garden, the accommodation is beautifully furnished and very comfortable. Highly recommended it as a great place to chill out.

Little gem in a beautiful location.

So happy we stayed at Jory Cottage. Well laid out and had everything we needed. Short drive to Ballarat and plenty of great places to eat at in Creswick. A lovely, historical cottage with a modern touch in a quiet location.

Cozy and Happy Stay in Creswick

The house was warm and comfortable even though the weather was cold and rainy. Everyone had plenty of space, so we could all relax after a busy day at sovereign hill or bush walking.

Lovely & cozy cottage

Our stay at the cottage was so peaceful and perfect. The place is clean, very cozy and in a quiet location — exactly what we were looking for to get away from the city. Chris the host was lovely, he answered our questions and had a list of recommendations of places to see around the area. We also had a small dog with us and the backyard was perfect for him to roam around. Thanks again for our amazing stay!

Weekend at Jory cottage

We had a wonderful weekend staying at Jory Cottage. Very cosy, comfy beds and great shower. Chris and Dale are wonderful hosts, quickly replying to messages and had turned heater on before we arrived. Accomodation is close proximity to town centre and local attractions. Can’t wait to return.

Despite being an older house it was clean and had everything we needed. There was enough space for a larger group. We went through the colder months and the heating was generally good. Some stronger heaters were needed in the rooms along with the electric blankets provided. Fortunately we brought extra heaters. Overall it was a great place and we would definitely consider coming back

Charming cottage

Had a lovely weekend getaway at Jory cottage. Period charm with modern comforts. Spotlessly clean, lovely decor and comfy couches to relax in. Communication with our hosts was prompt and easy. The area is tranquil and quiet but still very close to Creswick to get supplies, and beautiful Daylesford is an easy 20 min drive. Loved our stay….Thank you!

Jory cottage was a delight! Renovated to a high quality, comfortable and super clean!

From the moment you arrive with the beautifully manicured gardens starts the immaculate experience. The property is a solid bluestone cottage renovated to a high quality with a heritage charm and was super clean. The beds were comfortable and it had a bonus of two living areas! Would highly recommend to all age groups and people from families to couples to friends. This was a truely remarkable experience and thanks for hosting me.
