Thanks Jesse- we are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Amanda!
This property is easy to access and is located in a quiet spot in Daylesford with a short walk to town. It is cosy, warm, comfortable and has everything you need. I would definitely stay here again!!
Thanks again for having us! We had a lovely stay at “Amanda” - very comfortable house, close to everything in Daylesford. Nice yard (fully fenced - our doggo enjoyed plenty of space to safely explore) and beautiful views from the front deck, especially in the afternoon light. Fireplace kept us warm and cozy during a cold week. Well stocked kitchen - everything we needed was there. Hosts very communicative and friendly. Hope to stay here again in future! :)

Thanks Patrick! So glad you enjoyed the house, welcome back anytime!
Cosy, comfortable and very convenient.
Kitchen was very well equipped and beds were big and super comfortable.
We had a small dog with us and it was perfect for her.
We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning.
We really enjoyed our stay - the house had everything we needed to feel comfortable and cook a feast and it is also well located - just a short walk into town. Thank-you!
Enjoyed our stay in this house. Well-equipped, comfortable furniture and heated. Great to be able to walk everywhere. Owner is an excellent communicator.
Really good location super close to the town. Nice and spacious house does get quite cold at night however there is everything that you need at the house. Very clean and cozy would recommend
Great location, walking distance to all that Daylesford offers. Generous stock of all essentials. Very comfortable beds, plenty of linen and towels. I’ve had an extended stay before and hopefully will again.
We enjoyed our stay very much, the house has such a special feel to it. It was clean, good quality furnishings and items, and open and airy. We particularly liked to location, only a few hundred meters from the street. We would recommend this home to others.
Had a lovely getaway with my daughter and our dog . House had a homey feel . Warm and very comfortable. Extremely well equipped. Easy walking distance to the town and amenities.
Lovely property. Spacious and clean. We enjoyed the short walk from the property to the main street. House has heating as well as a fire place. We really enjoyed our time at Amanda.

Very comfortable
We were very comfortable here for our short stay, though we struggled to get the air conditioner to work when the weather got hot. Apart from that, we had everything we could want.

Hi Karen, We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay. Sorry to hear that you couldn't get the AC to work, our housekeeper looked at this as soon as we read the review and all working fine. Next time let us know so we can resolve the issue for you straight away. Hope to have you back again. Thanks Caitlin
Property exceeded expectations. Literally everything we needed and more!
The heating had been switched on before we arrived. Soooo warm and cosy.
Perfect location. Easy walk to the lake and surrounds. Just metres to cafes and restaurants.
We have stayed in Daylesford a few times. This is far and away the best we have stayed in.
We will be back!
Great house and location. Although my friend has a dust allergy and the wood paneling throughout the house was dusty. Air conditioner next door was very noisy.
Otherwise fantastic!
Great place for a stay in Daylesford. Super close to town and walkable to everywhere. The home is really cosy and well appointed. It is on a main street into town so if you're a light sleeper bring some ear plugs and problem solved although that's only an issue in the front bedroom so you can always just stick a kid in there :) like we did.
We had a small issue and communication with the host got it resolved easily.
We'll definitely be picking Amanda next time we're taking a break in Daylesford.
