Great place to stay with a small group

We loved our stay at Arinya Retreat. My only regret is that we didn’t take advantage of being able to book a massage at the house. Well furnished house with great kitchen facilities. Could do with a couple of larger pots for cooking for a group of 6 or more. Would stay there again for sure.

A delightful weekend away for a country getaway. The house is so clean and comfortable. It was so toasty warm too, we definitely took advantage of the open fire place. Loved watching all the wildlife and the peacefulness of the place. Batteries are well and truly recharged.

Perfect escape and retreat

Just returned from a perfect 2-night getaway at this lovely retreat. The wood fire was absolutely divine and created such a cozy atmosphere. The spaces throughout the property were beautifully designed and perfectly suited our needs.We were so comfortable with our sewcation (yes we spend the entire weekend inside sewing) that we didn't even venture out to explore - the property was self catering so we had everything we wanted for a stress free sewing weekend away.Would definitely book again and highly recommend to anyone seeking a peaceful retreat in Daylesford. Thank you for a memorable stay!

The pictures don’t do it justice, incredibly relaxing, and calm environment. Fantastic for a weekend away. Damien, the manager was incredibly helpful with suggesting places to eat and see, and also in home care, organizing spa treatments, and also preparing a fire for people who cannot start themselves. lol cannot wait to return!

Daylesford weekend

Arrived Friday, everything perfect, cleanliness well above average, beautiful property, relaxing and plenty of space with the 2 living areas. We came up to Daylesford for a day spa and booked a couple of restaurants in town. Got a Taxi in to town and out both nights. Taxi driver Sam was fantastic. It is an absolute hidden gem.

Absolutely beautiful!

What a fabulous place to get away from it all. It has every amenity you could possibly wish for - 3 ways to make coffee for a start! We were two couples travelling together and the only thing that I would have changed (and my fault for not taking up Damien's offer) would have been opening up the full house so we could have had a bathroom each. We will definitely be back!
