Situated in beautiful countryside at Spring Hill, which is perfectly located right in between the popular tourist destinations of Trentham, Daylesford, and Kyneton (all a short drive).

This bush retreat was purposely built to be a holiday rental, with a lot of thought put into guests’ comfort and creating an experience to remember. Enjoy glorious sunrises and birdsong from the front deck as you sip your morning coffee, or relax with a glass of wine on the back deck as the sun sets behind the lake and bushland. Dawn and dusk are often shared with bird life and kangaroos grazing nearby.

Surrounded by some of Victoria’s best fresh produce, providores, farm gates, wineries, and distilleries to stock up at. Why cook when some of Victoria’s best eateries are down the road in Trentham, such as Du Fermier, The Cosmopolitan Hotel, Pig and Whistle Hotel, Trentham General, and Red Beard Bakery.
