Family-friendly holiday rentals in Bendigo

Loved my stay. Perfect for purpose little idyllic spot. I’m a fan of tiny homes and this is a very similar size accomodation. The bed was really comfy and the bedding was pristine. Kitchen is a little dated but completely functional and Jennine has thought of everything her guests may need. The bathroom is beautiful and modern with decent water pressure allowing for a nice shot shower. The bath and the garden were amazing. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to use the bath as I had a lot of work to do during my stay. I did feel a little vulnerable sleeping beneath that huge Manna Gum tree but I did know that was going to be the case prior to my booking. But I could never have predicted the spectacular storm and power cut and sleeping under that tree! I must admin to being a bit worried about it. Jennine was proactive, and she messaged me where to find emergency candles. Couldn’t have asked for a more accomodating owner. Very happy I chose this peaceful place. Thank you Jennine.

The perfect spot to stay in Daylesford. This immaculate house has a dreamy view across the valley. Immaculately clean, this property is spacious and has every amenity a guest requires for a beautiful stay. Close enough to town that we walked in for dinner but so quiet and relaxing. We have been to Daylesford several times and would definitely stay in James’s property again.

We had a lovely stay. Check in was easy. It’s a cosy, clean and comfortable space. We loved all the wonderful art around the property. We also enjoyed the jacuzzi on the deck. It was a short walk into town and just around the corner from the Mill market. We could hear our neighbours easily but they weren’t there for the whole weekend.

Thanks Michele, we loved our short stay in your cottage. It had everything that we needed and more. It was in a beautiful area and it was so peaceful, which is what we were hoping for. When we are back in the Hepburn region we will definitely look at booking again. Thank you, Leanne

We booked this stunning Daylesford house for our best friend’s 40th — and WOW, what a weekend! The vibes were immaculate, the house was beyond gorgeous, and we spent three days laughing, grazing, and sipping Prosecco like queens. Perfect for a girls’ getaway and milestone celebration!

Great pet friendly place in a good location. Has everything you need. Easy walk into town. Would definitely recommend staying here.

We were a party of 4 on a girls trip. We had a wonderful stay with everything you would need available. The house was in an amazing position making it easy to walk around the lake each day and an easy walk to town. The balcony and spa were a great addition and we spent many happy hours out there. The house was very clean and well equipped. We easily parked our 3 cars in the entryway. The beds were comfortable and the house was very spacious. Thank you for having us in your beautiful home.

Chris’s place is in a great location close to Castlemaine. Very private , clean and great views . Easy checkin . Fully cooked breakfast is included . He can also cook dinner for you at an extra cost . Highly recommended

We required a central location near the hospital to house a locum staff member and her family. Julie's property was perfect, she was prompt and friendly in her communication with us. Highly recommended!

We had a great stay at Daylesford Country Retreats. The accommodation was just as described and as per the photos. The beautiful scenery around the property made our stay so peaceful. We will definitely be coming back again. Thank you for having us!

I loved Jo’s place. It was exactly as advertised, spotless and comfortable. I had a fire each night that kept the place perfectly warm and cosy. The bed was comfortable and the linen sheets so lovely. I will definitely book here again in the future.

Perfect spot for a small group country getaway. Great location with gorgeous views from the front porch, plenty of outdoor spaces, and a fire-pit that would be lovely in winter. The main cottage was very cute & cosy while the studio was spacious and airy. All very clean & comfortable with plenty of amenities, rustic touches, and good kitchen/bathroom facilities. Close to town (short walk downhill to shops) but still secluded with lots of greenery. Emma was a great host, gave clear instructions & was quick to respond to messages.

Great location, easy access. Was offered to check in a night early which was great.

This holiday was like an historical immersive experience/ museum. We loved it. The furnishings, the crockery, the knick knacks and the record collection were all excellent We played Trivial Pursuit , whilst listening to Rod Stewart, Rikki Lee Jones and the Beach Boys. What fun. Loved not having a telly. The sky was clear, filled with stars and magnificent Thx Jenny A really special place to stay

Peaceful and comfortable with lovely outlooks front and back. Karen was great and helpful in communicating through out. Front and rear decks with plenty of places to sit and relax was terrific. Great for 2 people and our dog loved it.

Lovely secluded accommodation in a beautiful country setting. Excellent communication with Mary. Thank you. We enjoyed our stay.

We had an unforgettable stay at Noonanmeena, a stunning passive house set on 20 picturesque acres in Redesdale. The property is beautifully situated, backing onto the Coliban River, with easy access to Redesdale town center, just a short drive away. It's also conveniently located—only 25 minutes from Heathcote and 20 minutes from Lake Eppalock. The house itself is fantastic—spacious, comfortable, and perfect for families. Whether we were relaxing on the deck or taking a dip in the pool, watching the sunset was an absolute highlight. John was an exceptional host—welcoming, accommodating, and great to communicate with. Thank you for making our long weekend truly special—we can't wait to return!

Beautiful location and a charming cottage along with very helpful caretakers allowed for a fantastic stay. Our kids were never bored with so much for them to do on the property, from the games room to the grassy areas and even a river for some fishing, they were well entertained. Very tranquil setting, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommended the cottage to both couples and families.

A lovely place and in a perfect location, a short walk from the centre of Daylesford. We'll stay here again.

Very comfortable cottage, with peaceful surrounds and beautiful gardens to explore. Excellent communal facilities. Ticked boxes for all generations (kids, parents and grandparents!)

We had a fantastic stay at Corvah House in Castlemaine with our extended family, including young children. The house was beautiful, spacious, and well-equipped, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing weekend. The highlight was definitely the pool—an absolute lifesaver on a hot weekend! With ample grass area outside too, the the kids loved it which meant we could relax too. Donna was an excellent host—her communication was fantastic, making everything smooth and stress-free. We’d highly recommend Corvah House to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in Castlemaine.

Taradale House is the best place to unwind and relax from the city's hustle and bustle of everyday life. We saw blue wrens, rosellas, cockatoos and kangaroos around the property as we scrolled through this scenic location breathing in the fresh country air. The games room kept our son entertained and we enjoyed a game of pool as a family. Skye was always available to help with any queries or requests which she attended to promptly. Andy was similarly helpful and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend this holiday accommodation site to all.

Great place in a great location for exploring the Goldfields. Central to most places whatever you want to do and see with everything you need when you are not seeing and doing

A lovely peaceful stay with the family. Sally and Dave were great hosts and so accommodating. We’ll be back!
