Stayed at Tara overnight for the 19th-20th of August with my fiancé and dog Ajax and it was utter perfection. The location, the layout of the cottage, the views and it being dog friendly? What else could be better? We loved every minute of it and will definitely be back! Thanks Prue!

The property was in a relatively quite location with only distant and faint traffic sounds. The magpies were in good voice. The spa was a welcome inclusion to help relax tired muscles. There wer no negatives from our perspective. Thank you to our hosts, we enjoyed our stay.

Tara Cottage: an excellent holiday

The property is well-appointed with appropriate kitchen appliances, w-fi, etc. but for me its superlative point is the garden. An ideal space for my energetic dog to endlessly chase the ball.This is my second stay and I will definitely come back.

Quiet, idyllic getaway

This cute little cottage is perfect for a couple or solo trip, house was cosy and has a decently stocked kitchen with all the basics you’d need. Really comfy bed, it was lovely having a slow morning (due to a generous midday check out) relaxing and watching the birds in the backyard. Will definitely visit again! Pam was an excellent host, great communication and cottage was clean and tidy.

A hidden beauty.

It’s a bit like something out of a fairy tale: behind an impenetrable wall of plants and small trees, lies a hidden beauty. Fortunately accessible down a charming pathway. The house is just right for two people (no pets in our case). It is quiet and comfortable with a gorgeous old established garden full of rambling roses and lovely scents. And the view across the valley to Wombat Hill and the convent is perfect. We felt transported to another time, whilst having all of the modern conveniences in abundance.

Having had a short break at Tara Cottage some years ago, we were happy to stay there again. The cottage is cosy and comfortable in a quiet area. Everything you need is supplied. Dogs are welcome. Excellent for a short, relaxing break.

Winter getaway

We enjoyed our stay in Daylesford at Tara cottage. We travel with our dog and the amenities were good. My only criticism is that the cottage has a steep uneven set of steps to enter with a rather rickety hand rail. It had been raining and was rather muddy around the front door. I didn’t feel safe going up and down the steps to the road where our car was parked.

A Lovely Property

We stayed with our pooch at Tara Cottage and had a lovely stay. The cottage was modern inside and had everything required for a short stay. There was a nice view from the back windows of the township and Wombat Hill. The back garden was large and good for our dog to explore. Unfortunately the imitation log fire was not working, but heating provided by reverse cycle AC. Tara is in a good location - about a 10 minute stroll to the main shopping strip.
