“Perfect cottage for a short stay in the Hepburn/Daylesford area.”
Very clean and cosy cottage with lovely linen and everything we needed in the kitchenette for a short stay. Particularly loved having an electric blanket 🥰. There is a heater for the lounge area and also for the bedroom if you need it . The cottage is in a great location with a super bush outlook. Hosts were very welcoming and friendly — our little dogs were welcomed too.

“Really welcoming and comfortable especially for its price point”
This property is extremely well priced. It is not a high end boutique stay but It is very homely and comfortable. A great base for a couple. There are comfortable recliners in the lounge and the bed is very comfortable. The cabin was clean, quiet and private. The kitchen has all the utensils etc you would want rather than the three spoons and dodgy tongues you often get. The host met us and helped with our luggage. Kevin had put the air con on in advance (appreciated on a pretty hot day)

“Cozy, private cottage only a short drive to town.”
Easy access to both Daylesford and Hepburn. A private space at the bottom of the owner’s yard - but with a completely private feeling thanks to the bush and outlook of the cottage. Parking space was appreciated, but please not there are some garden steps from the space to the cottage. Fireplace was a very welcome treat in cold June and the bath was fantastic. A wonderful space for a couple and their small dog.

“Astley Cottage was the perfect, quaint cottage for our stay in Daylesford. We were very happy.”
My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Astley Cottage. It was perfect for what we required for us to stay with our small puppy. The house was quaint in its interior and contained so much in its kitchen, family room, bedroom and bathroom. We were also able to easily use the wood fire heater, along with the split system heater. Everything was great! We would happily return to stay at this cottage again.

“An excellent place to stay, nice scenery and one of the safer places for a female travelling alone.”
Astley Cottage is a lovely BnB situated between Daylesford and Hepburn, with a forest out the back and a nice deck. The hosts are lovely people and the place is very clean with a nice afternoon-tea on arrival.
