There is something truly special about autumn in the Daylesford.
If you have been thinking about a getaway for the upcoming Easter long weekend, 3-6 April, this is your final call! We have just a handful of properties left for the long weekend, ranging from intimate studios for two to character-filled retreats, so you’d better hop to it, before they are all gone.
Planning an April school holiday escape?
While the long weekend is nearly full, we still have good availability throughout the rest of the school holidays. With fuel prices on everyone’s mind lately, a local escape is the perfect solution. Trading a long-haul flight for a much shorter scenic drive means less time in transit and more budget to spend on the things that matter – like gorgeous accommodation, delicious dining and local treasures.
Don’t miss out on your own Easter escape – secure one of our last remaining spots today.
