Daylesford VIC 3460

Perfectly positioned high on Wombat Hill and in the tightly held precinct surrounding the Botanic Gardens, 'Little Wombat' as it is known on the holiday rental market, is quintessentially Daylesford. A beautiful, charming and elegant weatherboard cottage, originally built in the 1860's, this home embodies peace and timelessness. Adjacent to the walking entrance, the cottage affords long and spectacular panoramic views to Lake Daylesford and across to the Hepburn Regional Park. Sit and relax on the veranda watching glorious sunsets, the changing of the seasons and impressive big sky views.
The light and magnificent views from every aspect of this cottage are impressive. Comprising a comfortable and inviting sitting room, exposed original fireplace brickwork, a gas log fire to cosy up to with a glass or two for the cooler nights and beautiful, oversized french doors leading to the stylishly modern kitchen and dining area. Two large and light bedrooms with plantation shutters and a large modern bathroom with walk in shower, a luxurious two-person spa for indulging in after a day of exploring completes the picture. French doors from the dining area lead to the canopied, tiered courtyard, the 'wild' treed garden beyond blends perfectly into the long views of the Botanical Gardens. A perfect place for relaxing and entertaining, and watching the many local birds splash in the birdbaths.

Quiet and restorative yet so close to all the attractions that Daylesford has to offer: boutique shopping, galleries, cafes and restaurants, Lake Daylesford, beautiful creeks and bush walks. The divine Wombat Hill Cafe (owned by Lake House owner, Alla Wolf-Tasker) and the Wombat Hill Botanic Garden Nursery sit just behind the cottage so walk up the path for a coffee, breakfast or lunch. The magnificent Convent Gallery sits on the other side of the gardens, there are just too many attractions to list.
