We had a wonderful winter getaway at the beautiful Hidden Jem in Daylesford! The home was cozy, homey, and had everything we needed. It was in a great location, close to everything but still peaceful.We loved being able to bring our pet lab along, and she felt right at home too! Our host was so welcoming and responsive, which made our stay even more special.Absolutely loved it and couldn’t recommend it more. Thank you!

Perfect place for a getaway

Checking in add Hidden Jem was as easy as could be, the place was bigger than we’d thought and although it was only two of us having some space to move was nice. Super well equipped for the 35 degree day while we were there, close by to town and we loved the close proximity of the tennis courts too!

Quiet little getaway

A fantastic property to stay at, it’s hidden off the main roads so it’s nice and quiet. The house itself was spotless and there was a cute backyard for our dog to run around in. We were welcomed with a lovely gift, and Kim, our honest was excellent with her communication and checking in on us throughout our stay. Highly recommend staying here!

Hidden Jem is certainly a Gem!

We had a great stay at Hidden Jem! The house was lovely and clean. We enjoyed time in front of the fireplace and the outdoor fire pit was a hit with my kids (hello roasted marshmallows). My family has been to Daylesford a few times so we knew we loved the area, but this was our first stay at this property and it did not disappoint! Highly recommend!!

Great property with outdoor entertaining area

This property has awesome furnishings, a well equipped kitchen, fabulous bathrooms and a fantastic outdoor area where you can relax at the end of the day with a glass of wine. The location is in a quiet area with off street parking. We took our dog and he loved running around the secure yard. A special bonus was the gift we received on arrival!
