Tasteful Design - The interior of Hightor features a rich color palette of browns, gentle blues, and pristine whites. Original artworks and framed images adorn the walls, while captivating sculptures add a touch of artistic flair. Baltic floorboards and a roaring fireplace create a cozy atmosphere, and high ceilings and large windows keep the spaces open and filled with natural light. The main lounge area is furnished with plush leather couches and a flat-screen TV for entertainment.

Fully Equipped Kitchen - The kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances, including a spectacular Falcon cast-iron oven/stove, making it the heart of this splendid property. You can dine with breathtaking views from one of the two balconies overlooking the beautiful grounds, complete with rolling grasses and magnificent trees.

The house’s street frontage is kept private by a well-maintained hedge. Nearby, the Convent Gallery can be found, repurposed to house gorgeous works from both local and international artists. The town of Daylesford proper has plenty of its own galleries to offer, along with restaurants, bars, stores and wellness centres. Hightor is perfectly situated for those interested in a cultural tour of regional Victoria.

Great Stay

Loved our stay at Hightor and would definitely recommend to any larger groups. Location was great, grounds are beautiful and the house very charming. Only thing to note, if you are staying with younger children/babies, the house does not have a microwave and the bathroom in the main house does not have a bathtub- you need to use the bath in the downstairs apartment.
Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2023
