Ah the tranquility

We had a restful and peaceful stay at Edessa, just what we were after. The cottage was lovely and very comfortable, it was cold and raining outside but we were cosy and snug inside looking out at the wonderful views of bush and wildlife. A short distance from Daylesford and other towns in the area, we had the best of both worlds. Thanks

Beautiful

Got the warmest welcome from the hosts with a roaring fire, place was toasty. Enjoy this property nestled among the gum trees, lots of kookaburras, kangaroos in the garden at dusk and fall asleep to the sound of the frogs in the lake. It's tempting to just curl up in front of the log fire but it's a great base for visiting Daylesford and beyond. Loved it.
