Candlebark Cottage - Private spa retreat

**OUR SIMPLE COVID CANCELLATION POLICY IS LISTED IN HOUSE RULES**

*In-house massage available*
Situated in Hepburn, Candlebark Cottage is perfectly designed for a couples weekend away. Relax in the warm indoor spa or shower room overlooking a lush terrarium. The cottage is stand alone and private with a patio with garden views and private parking, just 1.5hrs from Melbourne with all that beautiful Hepburn Springs has to offer. The cottage includes an indoor spa, shower room, kitchenette, quality linen and lounge overlooking north facing windows. Along with a carefully curated pantry to purchase goods to enhance your stay. Hidden away with bush at the end of the driveway, Candlebark Cottage is perfect place to escape while being a 20min walk or very short drive from the heart Hepburn Springs.

In-house massages are now available. Experience the ultimate relaxation with our in-house rejuvenating massage services. Local and skilled masseuse will melt away your stress and release muscle tension, leaving you feeling refreshed and revitalised. Discuss with the masseuse on the day whether you would like a relaxation or therapeutic massage.
We recommend booking in advance to avoid disappointment. However last minute requests are welcome, we will do our best to accomodate.

The property was exactly as I imagined - clean, neat and tidy and close to the Hepburn Springs. Some maintenance was required eg the crack in the kitchen sink meant there was water leaking and the blinds in the bathroom area were broken, but otherwise it was restful and enjoyable to stay at Candlebark.

Just ok for the price

Check in after 3 pm is a bit of a stretch, considering how much they are charging.

Hello Leon, thankyou for your review. Check in/out times are generally 2pm/10am or 3pm/11am. The time in-between is used for cleaning and maintenance. I opted for the 11am check out as I wanted guest to leave feeling relaxed, not rushed. Some of our guests even opt for an in-house massage in the morning before they depart. Hope that helps explain the 3pm check in.
