As the cooler weather approaches, cosy cottages beckon. Thanks to the legacy of the gold rush and
pioneering farmers, our region is home to charming and historic cottages. Many of these have been lovingly
restored and can be booked for a cosy holiday. Here’s a selection of the best.

As you might have heard, Daylesford was recently named the fourth most welcoming place in the world (yep, the world!) by Booking.com. We are the only Australian destination on the list. Needless to say, we were pretty chuffed to receive this accolade.

With the arrival of the warmer weather and longer days, we can’t think of a better way to enjoy the bountiful produce of the Daylesford and Macedon Ranges region than by pulling up a pew outdoors. Whether you prefer lake, vineyard, or mountain views, or simply want to watch the passing parade, we have something to suit you.

Daylesford local, Paul Righetti, is a fifth generation farmer and owner of regenerative egg farm, Honest Eggs Co. He gives us the inside word on his favourite places to eat, shop, drink and explore in Daylesford and surrounds.

Fancy a weekend away, but don’t want to leave your four-legged friend behind? We have plenty of petfriendly
accommodation options to choose from in Daylesford and the Macedon Ranges. From grand
residences to charming rural cottages, your furry friend will enjoy these digs as much as you do.Here’s a selection of some of the best.
