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!)
