    This is a lovely little cottage. There is a well fenced yard for dogs and an outdoor veranda for socialing in fine weather. It was freezing in Daylesford, and we were very snug inside with excellent heating and a fireplace. A very fine spot for an autumn retreat. And the bathroom is very state of the art. Much enjoyed.

We had access to all the necessary accessories to make our stay with our dog Toby better than we had imagined. The cottage is perfect! Walking distance into Daylesford is just a 5 minute jaunt. So pleased we found kookaburra cottage and will plan another visit when it’s just a bit cooler

Close to the local shops, clean, great bathroom and king size bed and Annie was the perfect host getting an early check-in for us and even leaving a little celebration hamper as she knew we were coming to Daylesford to celebrate my 50th Birthday! Neat and secure backyard for the dogs to run around as well. We've stayed here before and the best recommendation is that we will be staying here again next year!

    Had a lovely 2 night stay with my partner and my two staffs at the beautiful kookaburra cottage.The two bedroom cottage is beautifully presented, and well appointed. The ducted heating worked well, as the weather had only turned cold the day before our arrival. It (the ducted heating) was rather noisey at night when trying to sleep. The bed was very comfortable with extra blankets if required.The kitchen was well appointed with plenty of crockery, mugs, cutlery, loved the small teapot and the supply of Twinnings tea bags, a rare but lovely touch for a tea drinker.The salt & pepper shakers and the supply of milk in the fridge was appreciated (though we had brought our own). The recently renovated bathroom & large soft towels were lovely.We enjoyed our stay & will book again next time we visit.My suggestions: the sliding door into the bathroom doesn't operate very well and catches when opening & closing. Just required some care and attention when opening & closing.A couple of draught stoppers for the floor at the front door and the double back doors would assist keeping the warmth in.A new set of tongs (red plastic ones don't work).A pooper scooper and some bags (or a small bin out the back) to put the doggie poops in as I feel this is the dog owners job to collect not the host job to clean up.

The heating, lights and music was on making you feel relaxed as soon as you stepped thru the door. Equipped with all the essentials, with comfy beds and hot shower. The property listed a hot tub which wasn’t there, yet of no concern to us as I probably wouldn’t have used it. There is an open fire yet not set up for use, again not of any concern as the property was sufficiently heated . Just may need to amend the listing details. Overall, a very pleasant stay and would definitely return.
