Book a Mount Franklin Cottage

"A lovely weekend with family members in an ideal location close to town and just enough for our old doggie to meander up for a coffee. The garden and cottage were lovely and the weather was finally kind to us"

"This cottage ticked all the boxes for us -comfortable, well-furnished, and cute as a button. The bedroom has good bedside lamps for reading and we slept well. The kitchen and living space are well designed and attractively styled. The air-con cools the house nicely, and the fireplace looks very inviting for the winter months. But lovely as the interior is, our favourite spot was the front porch with its sunny aspect and restful view of trees. Hard to say who liked it more - us or our kelpie....

"What is not to like about this property? It's cosy, clean and well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The host was friendly and easy to contact but respected our privacy. Complimentary breakfast items and wine were provided along with fire wood and cooking staples. The bed was super comfortable. This place is in such a beautiful setting with an idyllic view over the valley. We sat for hours on the deck listening to the sounds of nature around us, watching the sun come up...

"Great break"

"Great location. Clean and comfortable."

"Had a great time a Stephanies Cottages. Amenities were terrific, including for the two dogs. Planning to go back for a longer stay."

"We loved our stay. The cottage was clean, attractive and comfortable with generous toiletries and kitchen condiments etc. Games, media and wood-fire were perfect for ‘cosy nights in’ and local cafes are in walking distance. We enjoyed the bushland setting and local birds from the private balcony and the peaceful walk through the bush to the ‘mineral springs’. Communication with our ‘hosts’ was excellent."

"The photos don't reflect how marvellous this place is. The place was so clean with lovely bedding. Kitchen set up everything you need. To sit outside is beautiful and relaxing. I can't wait to return."

"Great location. All the amenities for a very comfy stay."

"A beautiful old world cabin retreat! Perfect for a cosy and relaxing getaway. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were pleasantly surprised how many luxurious touches there were while in keeping with the original miners cottage it is. The kitchenette is perfect for cooking porridge for breakfast and a nice meal for lunch or dinner if you don’t want to venture out all the time. Really lovely views and great bush walking tracks. A very nice and comfortable place to stay. Thank you to the foresight...

"So beautiful, the interior decorating so sympathetic with the house. The log fire, the view through the french doors over the elevated deck and the sense of space on top of the hill. We enjoyed the DVD player, the beautiful linen, electric blanket and all the little things like tea, milk and coffee. Thank you so much, we will be back."

"The host Michele is very lovely! The cottage is as per pictures on a lovely and beautiful property. We had a fantastic Easter weekend and will definitely be back!"

"We stayed at this property for 4 nights with our 2 teenage kids and grandparents. Great base for visiting Ballarat or Daylesford. Plenty of places to eat if you don't want to cook yourself."

"Good thanks"

"Charlie's is in a fantastic spot, so comfortable and beautifully presented. Fabulous spa bath too! Will return."

"Nice cottage minimal bad adequate kitchen facilities, everything was lovely centrally located between Dayelsford and Hepburn. Would stay there again"

"Had a very peaceful and relaxing 3 night stay. The owners went out of there way to make sure our expectations and beyond were met."

"Lovely place, pleasant walk back to Hepburn for coffee, but far enough away to feel secluded and peaceful."

"Great place Not parking car in property not ideal steps not easy for us older people Dog yard too small and overgrown Location view inside ammenities great Thankyou"

"Lucini cottage is one of a small group of cottages set in secluded street just off the main road in Hepburn. All I can say, is WOW, what a gorgeous and welcoming place. We arrived on a very cold night and after a long drive we appreciated that the lights and gas log fire place were on to greet us. Beautifully decorated and very cozy and only few minutes drive to Daylesford town centre."

"Beautiful place to stay loved the view loved the quiet nature "

"Lovely, clean, quaint. Great for our dog❤️"

"Thank you, my stay was excellent. The property is truly a beautiful space in an excellent location I thoroughly enjoyed it would highly recommend"
