Rustic Charm in the Heart of spa Country

Perriman Cottage – Rustic Charm in the Heart of Daylesford

Step back in time without giving up modern comfort at Perriman Cottage, a rustic gem just a 5-minute stroll from Daylesford’s buzzing town centre. Wander down for dinner and drinks at one of the many nearby bars, cafés and restaurants, and stroll home under the stars — no need for a designated driver here!

The Space

Named after the property’s original titleholder John Perriman, this historic cottage blends 19th-century charm with relaxed country living. The original section, built in 1864, still features timber wall panelling, lined ceilings, and antique doors, lovingly preserved to honour its heritage. Around 1900, the front rooms were added — creating today’s comfortable living spaces.

Inside, you’ll find:

Bedroom 1: King bed with split-system heating/cooling

Bedroom 2: Bunk with a queen below and king single above

Bedroom 3: King single bed — perfect for a solo guest or child

We’ve kept the soul of the cottage intact, even repurposing salvaged floorboards into the handcrafted kitchen table and benchtop. The bathtub shows some rustic wear (a touch of clean rust staining), but it’s been acid-washed and spotless — a true nod to the home’s storied past.

Comfort & Convenience

Stay connected with NBN Wi-Fi, Netflix, and all digital TV channels. Please note the indoor wood oven and open fireplace are now decorative only — but the large backyard firepit is the perfect place to enjoy a starry country night. There’s also a paved outdoor dining area for relaxed alfresco meals and morning coffees.

What We Love

The 157-year history and authentic character

The quiet yet central location — walk everywhere!

The massive backyard and star-filled skies

The local cockatoos, who drop by daily — bring some wild bird seed, pop it out front around 3–4pm, and watch them flock overhead like a feathery parade.

The Vibe

Perriman Cottage isn’t polished perfection — it’s beautifully imperfect, filled with quirks, warmth, and stories. If you appreciate history, craftsmanship, and a touch of rustic romance, you’ll feel right at home here.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a travel crib.

Just gorgeous!

My two teens and I stayed at Perriman Cottage and absolutely loved it! The cottage’s history was fascinating and it’s been so beautifully restored. We really loved its charm and the HUGE backyard, as well as its proximity to central Daylesford. Jeff was a wonderful host and the cottage was thoroughly clean and well appointed. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful cottage

Very clean beautifully renovated home. Has 3 small bedrooms. 1 toilet and 1 bathroom with shower-over-bath. If you have mobility difficulties shower-over-bath might be challenging as it does not have safely rails.

This lovely, cosy, clean, warm and charming cottage far exceeded my expectations. We were a group of 3 on a relaxing ladies getaway. When we arrived we were all in awe of just how pefect this little cottage was. The place felt so inviting with a vase of fresh jonquils in the kitchen which made the house smell divine. The house was cosy and warm with the heating turned on for our arrival which was perfect on a cold winter day. The beds were warm and comfortabe and the house had all the ammenities we needed. It was well located and a short walk away from shops and cafes. I would not hesitate to book this place again or to recommend it to others. Note: *Probably not suitabe for someone with mobility issues due to steps and shower inside bathtub.
