Studio luxueux sur la colline, à seulement 10 minutes à pied de la rue principale de Daylesford

Set high on Cornish Hill, Penny Farthing Daylesford is our private luxury retreat ideal for weekending couples or single and duo travelers looking to get away to the beautiful township of Daylesford and the surrounding Hepburn Spa, wine and epicurean district.

Penny Farthing Daylesford is set at ground level amongst a lovely garden with a private entrance and its king sized bed is fitted with 1000 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets and luxurious linens to ensure a wonderful nights sleep.

The space

Tastefully appointed throughout, the studio is self-contained and features a large deluxe king size bed fitted with 1000 thread Egyptian cotton sheets, plush and therapeutic pillows and a oversized "king double" soft duck down duvet.

For the romantics and the enamored, the space is warm and inviting with a small and cosy lounge settee, plush pile rug and there are privacy drapes on all windows that overlook the Italian inspired garden.

A brand new bistro-clinker-tile bathroom with walk in rain shower and custom designed vanity overlooks the vegetable garden to complete this lovely space.

Accessible via the main driveway, you will enjoy your own private lockable entrance and from the street you will overlook the entire township of Daylesford with the church spires piercing the firesmoke during the colder months.

There are no cooking facilities at Penny Farthing Daylesford but we provide you with a Nespresso coffee machine (includes cafe sourced pods from Melbourne and milk) to brew up a cappuccino in the morning and a small fridge to cool either the bubbles or the sport drink - depending on your needs and wants! Kettle and toaster with crockery and cutlery as well as the all important large wine glasses will ensure you have everything you need for your stay.

We have installed a TV which has local and city HD channels as well as YouTube, Netflix and Google Play for those more content to lay in bed and watch a movie. NBN powered WiFi is also available to guests.

You are welcome to suggest anything that we may have missed in the guest book (cycling inspired tomb sitting on the coffee table!)

Guest access

During the warmer times of the year, guests are able to sit out under the pergola and use the deck area and garden.

Seasons permitting, guests are also able to help themselves to the vegetables from the garden beds and herbs from the garden (rosemary, thyme and mint are in abundance).

Interaction with guests

We live on the property and if we are home, you are free to knock to ask us anything, but of course we appreciate you also value your privacy.

Other things to note

In town to do some bush-walking or mountain biking? The Lerderderg Track section of the Goldfields Trail is literally just behind Penny Farthing Daylesford.

The Goldfields Track is a 210km long shared cycling and walking path between the towns of Ballarat and Bendigo in Central Victoria. It started out as the Dry Diggings Track which opened back in 1995 as a 60km walking track between the old Victorian gold mining towns of Castlemaine and Daylesford.

The Goldfields Track was upgraded to make it a shared mountain bike and walking trail and it is now the longest such path in Victoria.

The new world class Harcourt Mountain Bike Trails (La Larr Ba Gauwa Park) are a short 30 minute drive away and there are plenty of local trails and walking tracks for those that want to explore the local area.

For the foodies there is an abundance of options and choices – there are many wineries, restaurants and cafes within a 20 minute drive. We are all too happy to recommend the latest and greatest places to eat and drink.
