That’s fitting homage to the talented artisans who designed and styled these unique escapes. This distinctive property blends industrial chic with luxury comforts in its forest surroundings.
Clifftop is a luxurious getaway boasting spectacular landscapes…where daybeds hang suspended in thin air and nature has dug a deep ravine that climbs up sheer cliffside and unfolds onto scenic bushland with abundant birdlife and natural fauna to help you unwind, relax and rejuvenate.

We had a lovely stay at the very stylish Tranquility. The weather was wild outside and it was amazing to watch from the beautiful window seat. So cozy inside. A wonderful place for a romantic getaway.

Hi Amanda & Joe
We're really grateful that you chose to stay with us.
Like you, I love the rain and wind when I'm on holiday.
We're so glad you enjoyed your break with us and hope to see you again one day.

This property will not fail to disappoint. We have been lucky enough to stay at Tranquility twice, and it has consistently impressed. The attention to detail is impeccable and the quality of all the furnishings and features will blow you you away. True bliss, decadence, the ultimate escape from reality, whilst still feeling safe and at home. We cannot recommend enough highly enough ... oh, and that spa! Enjoy!

The most beautiful and unforgettable stay in stunning accommodation!
My husband and I wanted a quaint and quiet retreat for our "mini-moon" and we found the Clifftop through instagram and traced it to the website. We were struck by the fabulous reviews and when we arrived our expectations were exceeded by miles! We stayed in the Tranquility villa and it was incredible. The views are stunning and the accommodation is flawless. Every detail is well thought through for comfort, style and unforgettable surroundings. We immediately felt spoilt and enjoyed every part of the stay. It's quiet and comfortable, we didn't even want to leave. We even cancelled our reservation at a very hard to reserve restaurant in order to stay in the villa and spend the night sipping wine and relaxing on the comfy leather couch, and window box. We will be sure to come again.

Ticks absolutely every box! Bliss!
I recently organised a weekend getaway for a friend who needed a break/space to unwind. She was booked into Tranquillity with her partner and below is her review. I have made a promise to myself that I will get there sometime soon to experience it first hand as it sounds amazing! In organising this weekend plus a couple of extras in a cheese platter and wine, I found David so friendly, relaxed and easy to deal with. Thank you!
The villa was easy to find and the instructions on how to enter were easy to follow. First impressions were WOW. The whole villa is amazing, it’s so stylish and modern yet cosy. The couch was very comfortable (I may have had a small nap on it) and the views are beautiful. It was very hot when we stayed and the air conditioners worked well – and we followed the ‘staying cool’ rules. The spa and shower were beautiful and we used both during our stay.
The main bedroom had a very comfortable king sized bed and the ability to open the blinds and look out to that amazing view while lying in bed. The last morning we were even awake for the sunrise which was beautiful.
We also had a platter upon our arrival which lasted throughout our stay. The cheese, meats, dips, fruits were all fresh and delicious. The Sparkling Wine and Red Wine were perfect accompaniments. The bread, cereal, milk and coffee pods were all so handy that we didn’t have to go out for breakfast if we didn’t want to.
Although it did not detract from our stay – As you walked in the front door it was hard not to bring in the dust/dirt from outside and we ended up with dust all around the entry area. Maybe a mat inside the door might stop this from happening?
We had a wonderful stay and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone who wants a beautiful and relaxing place to stay in all seasons.

Outstanding cabin
The cabin was beautiful and very relaxing. Everything was taken care of with lots of wonderful little touches - Spotify, dvd’s, books, massage chair, softest dressing gowns, brekkie supplies, coffee and an amazing spa bath. The thing we liked most were the fanfastic views through all the glass. The booking and check in process was super easy. Would definitely recommend this stay to couples and families.

Most relaxing weekend for our anniversary
We were blown away by how gorgeous the place was, and that view from almost every angle of the house was breathtaking. This was a weekend getaway for our wedding anniversary, and a chance to relax and decompress after a busy year and experience that calm before the storm that is Christmas and New year's. We wanted a place that offers all the creature comforts and luxuries for 2 people who just wanted to stay in and chill. We did go out a little but we've been to Daylesford before, and exploring was less on our minds than pure relaxation. And with this place we got that. The ambience with the music, the lovely touches with the chocolate and sparkling in the fridge were honestly the cherry on top. Thanks Mani and David for creating such a wonderful retreat for us to unwind, relax and indulge in. It was extraordinary and we will be back for sure.
