Summary: Our stay at Zahalka House in Daylesford was lovely. Nestled beside Smith’s Creek and surrounded by a beautiful garden amd deck. The house was just as we expected from a country cottage and enjoyed the use of the fire and the deck overlooking the garden, which was a beautifully setting for our morning coffees. The location is easily accessible and only a short drive into town. Unfortunately our experience at Hepburn springs was cancelled less then and hour before our booking, however we were able to arrange madsages and facials at a day spa in town. We made the mostbof the cafes and restaurants in town and were not disappointed, Betel Boy getting our top votes.

Summary: Beautiful house and garden. We were lucky enough to stay while the pretty blossoms were out on the trees surrounding the deck. The outlook from the inside to out was magical. It was a cold and wet weekend but we were warm and cosy in this amazing house. If you like charming, earthy, rustic and luxurious all rolled into one you’ll love this place. Some lovely touches included fresh flowers inside, heating and soft lighting on when we arrived.

Summary: We stayed at Zahalka House for one month and it gave us a lovely home away from home. It was quiet and very comfortable with lots of artistic and literary stimulation. The location was excellent - rural and peaceful yet within walking distance of town and Wombat Hill. Communication with Rachael was quick and very helpful. Highly recommended!

Summary: Zakhalka house an unexpected gem set in a rural setting with rambling gardens around it. The rooms are all comfortable, great beds So many Knick knacks , art and rugs add to the overall feel of home. We had a Christmas dinner for 7 and the dining area was perfect. The kitchen had everything we needed The outside deck was well used as the weather was really nice. Playing games in the cosy lounge at night . We loved it Thank you to our host for making this place so memorable Cheers

Summary: Zahalka house was exactly what we wanted and needed and the photos on Stayz certainly did it justice. Once inside, you breathe in the calm, colour and space. Just wonderful for our much needed week away and amazing quality bedding, heating, bathrooms and kitchenware. I don't want to rave about it too much because I want it to be all mine!!

Summary: Lovely characterful house providing a great base for our stay in Daylesford. It’s a short drive or long walk to the main attractions - but that’s part of its appeal. You may not want to leave the house!

Summary: This house felt like the quintasential Daylesford experience. The house was gorgeous boho with an artistic vibe. The beds were gloriously comfortable and we could have sat in the garden for days drinking champagne and eating cheese! A wonderful break from city life.
