🤝 Guest Interaction
I’m here to help make your stay in Daylesford smooth and memorable. While I won’t be there to greet you in person, I’m always just a message away and happy to assist before and during your stay with any questions or local tips.

To make your arrival as comfortable as possible, I’ll remotely adjust the heating or cooling based on the weather, so the space feels just right the moment you walk in. I’ll also take your lead when it comes to communication - whether you prefer a quick check-in or more hands-on support, I’m here for you.

Looking forward to helping you enjoy a relaxing and cosy stay at The Duke!

For your peace of mind, there are five security cameras placed around the property monitoring only the front entrance, driveways, backyard, and fire pit area. These cameras are used strictly when the property is unoccupied to help protect the home and ensure the fire pit is safely extinguished if left unattended. Your privacy is very important to us, and there is no monitoring inside the house during your stay.
