Tranquil getaway

An excellent weekend away with another couple. We enjoyed the spa which was already set and stayed hot so we could get in morning and night. The outdoor area was great for board games and the house was comfortable. I’d stay here again.

Nice

It was much smaller than photos gave the impression. Spa was good, beds comfortable. Some lights were not working Not enough firewood for 2 nights and a bit chilly. An animal at some chocolate left on the bench. I have a photo if you'd like to see.

A place to get your creative juices flowing

A wonderful quaint mud brick abode with gorgeous stain glass windows, creative garden sculptures, the lovely warm spa, and the lofted bedroom , the perfect setting for a relaxing getaway. It was a hassle free experience from start to finish, would highly recommend a stay here, will definitely be coming back. I wish it was for sale 😉

Great place to stay in Daylesford

We loved the location of Saturna and how cool the house was over a hot period of time in summer. The Mill Markets are just over the road and there are lovely and peaceful bush surrounds.

1/2 star off for no aircon in the loft cooling on the ground does not reach there and supplied fan is too small and noisy other than that we loved it!
