Daylesford and Macedon Ranges hotels & places to stay

Centrally located between Daylesford and Hepburn Springs. Nice sized, clean room with all required items. Effective heating on a very cold night Great value for the price we paid Better reading lights would be great but not a real issue. Would recommend to others

The motel is not far from Gisborne central where all the shops are located. There is also a bus stop just outside the motel or 30 min walk to the shops. The room was very tidy and clean. The manager was very helpful and friendly. Thank you Michael for all your help. Kind Regards, The Ferguson family.

I really nice place to stay with big and clean rooms, very friendly local staff. Location is good, although it is not in the center of Daylesford, it is very close to tourist attractions (parks and springs) and restaurant. Would definitely come back and support this business.

We stayed one night in the Daylesford Royal Hotel. It is a charming old-fashioned hotel with rustic rooms. Although the room looked old-fashioned everything was very clean and neat. The room was towards the main street, which was still fine at night since there is very little traffic in Daylesford. I liked that it has a reasonably sized fridge (no minibar) where you can put a bottle of coke or water. It also had glasses, cups, cutlery, plates, so you could bring food and eat it in the room. Even though we didn't book with breakfast we got a complimentary brekky pack with cereal, milk, and a cookie. Nice touch.

we stayed at the Daylesford central motor inn for 2 nights. we drove from Adelaide and didn't arrive in Daylesford until around 11.30pm. Darren was more than accommodating. he was more than happy to let us check in late, even delivering fresh milk to our room when we arrived. the location was great, just a short stroll to cafes and shops, the bed was comfortable and everything was super clean. If I could give one minor criticism it would be that the room was a little noisy, we could hear our neighbours through the walls and also some street noise too but other than that, i can't complain. Would definitely stay again!

We really enjoyed our stay here. It’s a beautiful old house with lots of character and history. You have s toilet in your room and shared bathrooms are clean and modern. Lots of lovely places to sit and read or just relax and watch the wildlife. Great location for Hepburn spa and a couple of lovely restaurants are just a short walk away. I read some reviews with people complaining about this accommodation being old etc - I don’t agree we had a lovely time no one hastles you even checkout is very flexible. Ed one of the owners is a delightful fellow very friendly oh and unlike some the many places I’ve stayed the bed was really comfortable. We would definitely stay again

Our two night stay was fine - its a quiet place with a good daily rate - I think a four star rating is a wee over the top, more like a very good 3/5 or 3.5/5 - friendly and helpful staff - rooms old and with creaky floor boards [apologies for those down below our room as we had a 5 am start and may have caused them to wake] but nevertheless a comfortable stay -

Great base to enjoy Daylesford due to its central location. Our group of 3 women stayed in a unit which was well set up with three beds. It was warm, surprisingly quiet with really comfortable beds and good showers. Two bathrooms and a decent fridge in the kitchenette were both terrific.

This was brilliant. We stayed overnight to attend a party in Macedon (very close by). The rooms were clean and comfortable. The bathrooms are excellent with an amazingly huge shower. The best was the FREE cook yourself breakfast in the kitchen. Eggs Bacon Toast, and all the trimmings. In fact our host even cooked it for us !

Our stay was great. I almost cancelled the trip after I found that we were double booked for the weekend but I am sure glad that I didn't. From the moment we walked in, staff were friendly and accommodating and made every second easy and enjoyable. The beers speak for themselves (try the Little Heifer!) and the food is tasty pub food. The only negative was the tiny TV in the room but we got past that and had a nice sleep instead, all ready for a trip to Hanging Rock the next morning.

It’s clean, full of character and close to everything. We stayed in East 1, which is like a little unit. Privacy, warmth, and the fireplace was great. I’d go back. We didn’t see staff, but I think that’s the privacy element which makes the experience nice. Do it!

Incredible...My girlfriend and I were treated like royalty by Renee, our host. The house was everything we had hoped for in a Bed and Breakfast. We stayed in a beautiful room and the customer service was exceptional. After dinner we relaxed in front of an open fire with complementary Port and Sherry. For breakfast, we had a choice of several items from a menu and lovely plunger coffee or tea. I strongly recommend any couples stay here and book a table for lunch/dinner at SAULT, which is located about 10 mins outside of town. The service is excellent and they serve delicious Tapas. The wine list and menu prices are very reasonable too compared to several other well known but very expensive and overrated restaurants in the Daylesford area.

Good clean no nonsense accommodation in a quiet location with good woodland walks on the doorstep (literally). Located about 30 minutes drive from Daylesford (the big smoke).............if your after peace and quiet this is the place to go.

We booked and stayed in Villa 1 for the weekend! Pros - Beautiful setting, close to the lake, restaurants, shops and nice surroundings. Everything about the villa was perfect. Clean big rooms, comfortable bed, double spa bath, gas log fire, netflix on both tv’s, fully equipped kitchen, veranda both front and back deck, heater was turned on when we arrived in the middle of winter, free wifi and very well maintained!!!!! Cons - N/A Slippers would have been nice but overall we would definitely come back with family and friends..... highly recommended villas See you in summer!!!!!

Peppers Mineral Springs Retreat is a reasonably priced hotel for those seeking a quiet, romantic and relaxing getaway. The room prices are competitive in comparison to similar hotels in the area. The spa treatments on offer are also competitive in comparison to some of the other establishments in the local area. My wife and I both indulged in a massage - my deep tissue massage hit many tense spots, whilst my wife's relaxation massage was very good but not amazing. The food can only be classed as fine dining, with exceptional dishes matched with expensive prices - expect to pay $250 for 2 people, 3 courses and matching wines. We were there on a Thursday night, so the restaurant atmosphere was quiet due to the sparse diners that night. I would definitely recommend Peppers to anyone traveling to Mineral Springs or Daylesford (3-minute drive).

I was bit worry when read the reviews about Gisborne Peak Winery Eco Cottages at agoda. Nothing really positive. But we like the idea of Eco cottages and would like to support and give it a try. And we loved it!!! the immaculately condition of the cottage. The vineyard is simply beautiful, staff were friendly and helpful, cottage was very comfortable, clean, had everything we needed. Very peaceful and not too far away from Mount Macedon. Later check out was great too. Purchased their Pinot Noir too.

Great place to get away for a weekend and visit the surrounding vineyards and scenic locations. It was like staying in a brand new house rather than a sterile hotel. We stayed in Lavender Cottage which was immaculately clean and spacious for the two of us. Also would be a good place for a long-term stay. Loved the experience and would highly recommend it.

We stayed for 2 nights, and there is nothing to be unhappy about. it has everything we needed. bed and pillows are good and soft, you can also see kangaroos in the backyard and the olive grove behind the house. nice serene setting in hepburn springs, and a short drive to hepburn springs and daylesford.

We loved our two night stay at Raven. Jo is very friendly in her service. The king spa suite was amazing with modern contemporary interiors. Location is not far from daylesford town and many attractions in Hepburn springs. We look forward to returning.

Resort had a great ambience and old world charm with lovely period furniture and fireplaces through out. Bed/Bath rooms were a good size. Bath rooms were quite modern. Beds were good size but mattresses were terrible. This was confirmed by the other 2 couples we were staying with who had the same grievance. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Pool, sauna and games room were available. Food - Breakfast was good, Dinners were great. Would go back again if mattresses were changed but overall had a wonderful experience and would recommend it to anyone wanting to experience a rural retreat. Good selection of wines . Prices were average

Arrived at apartment B which was spacious for my partner and I for the weekend. Clean and the interior design was lovely. It felt very cosy. It was so great that they had a smart TV and wifi which allowed us to relax in bed and watch Netflix. The spa bath was just enough space for my partner and I to both relax in. I would come here again if I were to come back to Daylesford.

This is one of my favorite hotels! Everything was perfect - from the amazing oversized spa bath (complete with MOR bath products) to the warmth of your own fireplace to the beautiful nature reserve that the villa backs on to. We checked in at 11pm (drove through after the F1 in Melbourne) - late check-in was no problem at all. The staff at reception was very helpful in giving us tips on tourist attractions in the area and her favorite restaurants and cafés. Food in Daylesford is great! The villa was so lovely that we actually spent a lot of time relaxing by the fire or sitting on the deck. I would highly recommend staying here for a few days. Ask for an odd numbered villa as it is more private (even numbered villas have a window that faces the car park)

This property is the perfect contemporary retreat for anyone looking for a comfortable and peaceful setting with close access to the township. Beautiful.

we must rebook if when come back. Very nice house and owner also provide sweet gifts for customer. Everything is perfect.

The cottage is very nice and peaceful. It is away from the road and you can relax without any interruptions. It was handy to be able to take food back with us rather then eating out all the time. The only downfall was there weren't a lot of pots and pans to cook with. We also got a few ants during our 3 night stay.

Me and my husband spent a wonderful 3 days weekend at the ryokan with 2 of our friends visiting from overseas. Japanese style tatami rooms with beautiful japanese garden, food, scenery and decor were all great but the service was definetely outstanding. The room also have nice indoor/outdoor seating area, which is great spot to enjoy country fresh air and morning sun. We had izakaya dinner and delicious japanese breakfasts, while wearing yukata. I felt like I was transported and waking up in Japan at that moment in time. At the dinner, much to my friend delight, the manager and staff gave a her surprice birthday gift (bag of chocolates) wwith japanese style hand made b'day card. Nothing was too much problem for them, they also making her ginger lemon honey as she was unwell as she catch a cold during the stay. We Will be going back soon and am happy to recommended the ryokan to everyone!
