“Amazing Place”
July 2024
Amazing place, beautiful scenery, just what you need for a winter escape
“Immaculate”
June 2024
David and Deidre were proactive when it came to check in, responsive to any questions, and the place was immaculate. Couldn’t recommend enough.
“Quiet and Relaxing”
June 2024
The stay was quiet and relaxing. David provided recommendations for restaurants and other local attractions. It was nice to be surrounded by nature. Would definitely stay here again..
“Wonderful hosts”
May 2024
Loves staying at this little apartment, 2 minute walk to the town centre but felt super private and peaceful. The apartment itself is perfectly spacious for a couple and has everything you need and more! David was a wonderful host and let us know of anything going on and always happy to answer our requests. Will definitely be back next time I’m in Daylesford!
“Garden of my dreams”
May 2024
The most beautiful autumn spot for our mini honeymoon. With a garden of my dreams and lovely comfortable living room it was just what we needed to relax after our whirlwind wedding weekend. Would highly recommend!
“No expense spared”
April 2024
So lucky to get a booking at David and Diedre’s as someone cancelled last minute. We were stunned by the beauty of the garden and accommodation, no expense spared in the fit out and David was super friendly and helpful with suggestions for our stay. We felt completely at home and look forward to staying again in the future, it’s a truly beautiful place!
“Incredibly Comfortable”
April 2024
Highly recommend David and Deirdre's beautiful place. Incredibly comfortable (beds, couch), warm and aesthetically stunning with much thought to the small touches which make a huge difference. The garden is magnificent and we thoroughly enjoyed sitting in the sun having a cuppa. Proximity to Dayesford main street is so close that you would not be bothered taking the car and parking. Walked to shops and all main cafes and restaurants. David warmly greeted on arrival and checked if we needed anything and following that we had total privacy but with back up if we needed. We had a wonderfully peaceful stay to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary and feel like we were so blessed to find D and D's little oasis. Very quiet. Did I mention the incredible spa with views over the garden, the gems of this place are immense. We are already planning a longer stay next time. Can't wait. Thanks so much David and Deirdre, congratulations on what you have created and for being wonderful hosts.
“Perfect Spa, lovely garden”
March 2024
HI absolutely adored my time here! It felt so peaceful and serene - exactly what I wanted for a getaway. The garden was lovely and vibrant, the kitchen well equipped, and the spa bath large and perfect to sit in with a glass of wine and a book. The location is close to both the lake and the main strip of stores and cafes, and the hosts had good recommendations for things to do in town and in the surrounding areas. 10/10 would stay here again.
“Beautiful place”
March 2024
We absolutely loved our stay! Beautiful place and so close to everything. Supplying breakfast stuff and the spa made it all even better. Thank you for having us.
“Perfect for relaxation”
Feb 2024
A tasteful apartment overlooking a beautiful garden so well located close to all that Daylesford has to offer. Perfect for relaxation. We walked to Kodota restaurant and enjoyed what I believe to be the best meal I have ever had! We highly recommend David and Deirdre's place.

“Absolutely beautiful place”
August 2023
Absolutely beautiful place, private place that was very cosy, extremely clean and comfortable, thank you for a relaxing weekend away
“Incredible hospitality”
June 2023
Absolutely incredible hospitality - we came in late in the day (10 pm due to prior commitment) and they were so sweet to text us to be careful about the slippery path as it had rained, and they even left the heater on for us. The spa was absolutely lovely. I would book again in a heartbeat
“5 Stars”
June 2023
The place was perfect. Very close to the town centre, extremely comfortable and clean and nestled in a gorgeous garden. Highly recommend!
“Fantastic”
February 2023
Fantastic location within walking distance to everything you need. Spacious, clean and comfortable accommodation with beautiful gardens and large windows to take it all in. Very helpful and friendly hosts. Would definitely stay again
“Absolutely Lovely”
Feb 2023
Deidre and David's airbnb was absolutely lovely! We stayed for two nights for a getaway and did not expect to be surrounded by a beautiful garden and lush greenery. We were able to have a car park spot for ourselves, easily accessible and easy instructions to check in. Even though we did not meet Deidre and David face to face, Deidre was helpful and responsive to all our messages and was so accommodating. The place was spotless, the decor makes you feel right at home and the welcome guest book gave us ideas and guidance to ensure we had a great stay. To add on top, the spa was immaculate after a days hike and easy to use. The air conditioning was great as we went on a hot summers weekend but felt it was still quiet cool without the air conditioning. If you are wanting to stay in Daylesford, I recommend this beautiful stay as it is a 5 minute walk to local shops and cafes and close to Daylesford attractions. Thank you so much David and Deidre! May be back before you know it :)
A lovely, cosy stay
Feb 2023
A lovely, cosy stay right in the heart of Daylesford. The apartment is only a short walking distance to the main street of Daylesford and the lake. The apartment was immaculate and the little things provided made us feel right at home. Deidre and David were great communicators. I highly recommend their apartment and hope to visit Daylesford again soon.
wonderful weekend getaway
Dec 2023
Thank you for a wonderful weekend getaway, David and Deidre. Pictures do not do this place justice - was wonderfully designed and smelt so welcoming. The yard was wonderful. Deidre was quick to respond to messages, and David hospitably invited us to share in his home brew. We were exhausted from a wonderful day exploring the surroundings and this cottage was the perfect place to relax and rejuvenate.
Very close & accessible
Nov 2022
We had a great two nights stay here. We often stay in Daylesford, but have never stayed anywhere this close to town. Very accessible to everything, highly recommend.
“Great holiday experience!”
June 2023
We had a great time coming over to Daylesford for New Year's Eve and staying at Azidene House. Looking back we think it was the best option for our Daylesford visit really! Here are our reasons - see for yourself:
1. Beautiful facility with lots of light coming from French windows, lovely garden right outside, private entrance, very very spacious lounge and dining area, fireplace, jacuzzi bathtub - all you need for a relaxing stay really.
2. Perfect location - right in the middle between the city center and the lake. Fancy a nice meal or some social time - walk 5 min to the very heart of Daylesford with lots of cafes, restaurants and vintage shops. Fancy some piece and quiet - walk 5 min in the opposite direction to find yourself on the walking track around the calm lake.
3. Very welcoming hosts who made sure you have all you need for breakfasts and some champagne to celebrate your arrival.
We would definitely come back here again, maybe in winter this time.
“Best trip ever!”

REVIEWED ON AIRBNB IN SEPTEMBER 2014
This property is absolutely stunning! Centrally located you can literally walk to everything in Dayelsford - the Lake, the main strip of shops, restaurants and bars. The accommodation is beautiful and very luxurious - big windows and a beautiful gas fire. A huge bath and everything you could possibly need... even breakfast is provided with eggs, break and milk! Would highly recommend and definitely would stay here again on my next trip to Dayelsford!

“Just beautiful”
5 OF 5 STARS
Sept 2014
I booked in for two nights at the weekend for my boyfriend's birthday as a surprise - and he was very happy! The apartment is in a great location, just a few minutes walk from the town centre but in a quieter location so you don't get the street noise. It is such a beautiful apartment, really spacious and well presented with everything you could need. It looks great in the photos but it's even better in real life. The best bit has got to be the spa bath - it's massive and there is plenty of hot water to enjoy using it in the evenings. The fire really warms up the whole space and we were very grateful for the electric blanket as it got chilly at night. The owners were lovely and very helpful. I would definitely recommend this accommodation and if I came back I would stay here again.
