About this property

Casa Merenda

Summary:

Located just 300m from the Daylesford town centre is charming ‘Casa Merenda’, a newly renovated 2 bedroom 1.5 bathroom 1860’s double brick cottage with all the modern comforts. This picturesque and idyllic retreat embodies the essence of country living and exudes warmth and cosiness with its traditional features and comfortable furnishings, providing the perfect place to escape from the hustle and bustle of city life and embrace a slower pace of living.



The Space:

A classic picket fence and hedging frame the entrance and welcomes you inside the cosy home which features 2 bedrooms with queen beds, a newly renovated bathroom, a well-equipped kitchen, laminated timber floorboards, split system A/C, a gas log fire plus gas ducted heating to ensure you are comfortable no matter what the weather.



Through the beautiful French doors onto the west-facing alfresco deck, guests will enjoy views of the gardens and Doctors Gully, providing the perfect location to sit and enjoy a cup of tea, coffee, or bubbles. Take advantage of added features such as the outdoor pizza oven, complimentary WIFI, split system heating/cooling, gas log fire, Nespresso coffee pod machine, and a gorgeous country garden and alfresco area.



Only a 5-minute drive to Hepburn Springs Village, with even less of a walk to Daylesford’s Main Street and Supermarkets, while still only just over an hour’s drive to Melbourne, Casa Merenda is the ideal country escape for four groups of up to 4 guests looking for a cosy country home with loads of character in a central location.

Located just under an hour and a half from Melbourne, the region is home to some of Australia’s most spectacular natural landscapes brimming with native flora and fauna.

The house was lovely, however, it would have been nice to know that the yard is not secure. There is a large gap in the fence where it joins a side driveway and the front fence is only hip height. Other than that, it was a great place to stay. The location is great and quiet.

New years getaway

5 nights of down time after a busy year in a lovely cottage close to town. The house was beautifully presented with everything needed for a relaxing break. The well equipped kitchen was well used. While bbq & pizza oven were a great way to bring in the New Year.
