We absolutely loved our stay at Elvira and Gareth's place, it was so peaceful it felt like you were completely isolated but were only a 10mins drive from dayelsford, we also were able to organize a couples massage to our villa which was amazing and the spa and view were to die for. Elvira and Gareth were great with communication and really helpful. They even provided us with eggs and bacon for breakfast. Even saw some kangaroos and goats on the property! Would definitely recommend.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Very nice, well kept private place to enjoy a romantic getaway. With just a short drive to Daylesford. Very clean with all the facilities you need including a beautifully serene atmosphere. Hosts were very accomodating with great communication. Highly recommended.
Thank you Elvira and Gareth

Had the most wonderful time. Location and the house itself were beautiful. Having a spa out on the deck at sunset with the cheeky kangaroos munching on the grass around us was incredibly relaxing.

Elvira and Gareth are excellent host and have the perfect getaway to recharge the batteries All was just perfect N/A

Wonderful intimate Air BnB.
Surrounded by nature, kangaroos and perfect for star gazing (we caught a few falling stars!)
Clean, tidy and cosy. Some mild maintenance issues but not enough to impact your stay

Beautiful private villa, in a fantastic location.

Coming from the city, this is the perfect get away! Saw lots of kangaroos ! Lots of pretty birds. Fireplace and spa are perfect for relaxing! Bed is super comfortable

Great views, great relaxing atmosphere! We didn’t have any issues getting into Hepburn via taxi it was pretty easy organising that.
If you plan to do very little this was a great place for that!

This was a wonderful weekend away! The setting is just perfect. There was loads of firewood available and the indoor bath is massive. The windows open up so you can look out into the rolling hills. The jacuzzi is the crowning jewel with incredible Australian views, we watched the sun go down while kangaroos hopped around. Couldn’t fault the place! Would love to return.

Unforgettable. Will be coming back! Amazing place and special location where we were able to watch the sunset from the outdoor spa.

Amazing !

Very cute property, loved watching the kangaroos from the outdoor spa. Beautiful and relaxing

Gareth and Elvira were the best airbnb hosts I’ve ever had, they provided us with so many helpful tips and recommendations of things to do in the area, their responses were quick and they went to extra lengths to make sure our stay was as perfect as possible such as providing breakfast and juice, as well as even letting us check out a bit later. The home itself was beautiful and the indoor and outdoor spas were the highlight of the trip. It had amazing views and wildlife. Would recommend to anyone.

Beautiful place. Incredible country surrounds. Lovely hosts. Would go back.

Great relaxing place, outdoor spa is the selling point. Very relaxing to sit and see the kangaroos at sunset. Only issue is the bed should be upgraded to a queen, double is small and has had its day.

Idyllic private weekend away Private villas, wood fire heater, beautiful bush land and surrounding scenery. It was all fantastic.

Photos and descriptions were accurate, place was spotless and close to the city centre.
Wildlife in the backyard, hopping around and sun baking 🙂

A very nice, quiet getaway spot. The outdoor spa is super relaxing!

Elvira's accomodation was the perfect get away in winter. it's far enough out from town that you feel in nature but only a 10 minute drive into Daylesford. Be careful on the road out there, but the drive is worth it!
Lovely big spa too.
Very well insulated. we were so toasty from just the fire alone all night long in the middle of winter.

Definitely will go back. Beautiful place, romantic, cosy, clean, everything that you need for romantic getaway.

Recommend for a nice escape away from the hustle and bustle of the city

The outdoor spa was the highlight for this stay. We stayed on very cold, rainy and foggy days but once you’re in the hot tub, you’ll forget it’s winter. Kangaroos can be seen during early mornings and so close you feel you’re one with nature. Abundance wood supply for the fireplace too keeping us warm all night.

While the villa is getting a little tired, it is still a very peaceful and quaint place to visit, we thoroughly enjoyed our weekend retreat.

Thanks for a great little get away and the bottle of wine on arrival. Communication was great with the Maps and suggestions helping a lot. Really beautiful spot with the Spa and outdoor spa both being awesome to relax and forget the about the worries especially on sunset with brilliant views! For most part everything was spot on and fault less.

My and partner and I really enjoyed our stay. Really nice place.

The property is beautiful and the accommodation is clean and well kept, the information pack sent by Elvira is very helpful with finding the location of the property.

unfortunately we did not know how close all 3 houses are on the property. The is very little privacy unless you are in your house and even then everyone can easily see you and you can hear everything which takes away from the peace and quiet we were looking for.

I love staying at Gareth and Elvira's place. It's a really great escape from the bustling city life. It's very serene but not too secluded, having only 10 minute drive to town.

Excellent stay It was cold while we were up there but the fireplace made the villa warm and welcoming, the spa was great too!

Awesome place to go great views!!!

The perfect romantic getaway, away from the hustle of Daylesford but close enough to easily visit it. We had such an amazing time exploring the property, watching sunsets and kangaroos, eating and treating ourselves like royalty. Brownie pnts for bathrobes, breakfast hamper, pre-made fireplace and local tips.

Amazing place. Super relaxing.

Great place, with amazing views and very peaceful. The place itself was very clean and we had everything we needed.

we had a lovely stay in your accommodation. sunset by the spa was spectacular and made our 20th wedding anniversary very special. beautiful place!

It was an excellent time of relaxation, laugh and being away from noise. The villa was immaculate. The views, the jacuzzi and the peacefulness.

We had an absolutely wonderful time at Elvira’s. The location is just stunning - perfect for a quiet getaway, especially if you enjoy being immersed in nature. The aircon in the bedroom wasn’t very powerful and it got quite hot up there, but we still had a lovely stay and would visit again.

Had a wonderful time in this beautiful and cosy bnb, lovely area and even got to wake up to kangaroos on the hill. Perfect place to relax and unwind, not to mention the two spas to choose from!
Thanks again to the hosts for the slice of paradise.

It was a nice and peaceful place with beautiful surroundings view. Plus we've got to see kangaroos right in front of our villa. Their spa bathub is really cozy. We were looking for a relax and romantic getaway place and it is just the place. Thank you Elvira.

We had a lovely time overall, great kitchen set up too. Really lovely owners! They had a great breakfast hamper plus wine and chocolates. Nice touch. Blinds on the bathroom window would have been good.

Exceptional The nature and spas, it felt like we were at home nice and cosy

Thanks Elvira for a lovely stay, you have set up a very special place...will definitely be returning!
Clean, spacious and very relaxing and serene. So well maintained!! 😊😊😊

Gorgeous place!

Beautiful place. So many kangaroos hanging around the property and beautiful views. We loved making a fire each night and relaxing on the couch. For those who are keen on watching movies, I'd recommend you bring a USB with some movies on it, since there is no internet or DVDs available. I would definitely recommend Elvira's place for a lovely quite trip away from the city!

This property has the best of both worlds. In such a scenic peaceful location you could not leave for your whole stay and you would have all you need for a relaxing stay. Alternatively you can pop to Hepburn, Daylesford etc if you want to explore there is lots to see and do right nearby.
On arrival the property was spotless and nice touches made it feel like a luxury stay.
Would highly recommend and will definitely be back.

The sunset view was so stunning. We had a great time there. Thank you Elvira.

Wonderful place very relaxing

The communication was easy and efficient. The villa was very clean and cosy in an amazing location. It was a perfect getaway spot! Thank you so much, we loved our stay!

We stayed here a few nights on our honeymoon. The place was spotless and the spa bath and outdoor jacuzzi are worth not even leaving the villa for! The deck at the back was a lovely spot to have brekky on in the morning with views of rolling hills as well. While the place is in its own secluded area, it is a very short drive from the main street for groceries and plenty cafes and bakeries. It was a very nice place for a private couples getaway from the world.

The stay was absolutely lovely and ideal for a couple getaway! It was fantastic using the humble and very comfortable amenities/facilities and the spa is wonderful with great relaxing views. My partner and I had a phenomenal birthday and we made the most of what Daylesford and the accommodation had to offer.

Everything was superb and it's great value, compared with other similar accommodation in the region.

The most amazing romantic getaway! Walk in and there's chocolates and merlot on the table with bacon and eggs in the fridge. Great communication and hosts. The spa is incredible!! Will definitely be back.

Loved our stay! Perfect weekend getaway and they provided us all the things we needed

For a retreat, self-indulgenct or relaxing long weekend, this is a perfect getaway at El Camino

Elvira and Gareth's place was beautiful and serene. It is the perfect place for a relaxing weekend away. Will definitely be back again!

The stay of a few days was comfortable and was fine for us. The property is a bit of a distance from Hepburn Springs, on a dirt road, which we were unaware of. The trade off was that we were among mobs of kangaroos and the beautiful sounds of the bush. A car is a must. The couch was a bit uncomfortable. The TV only picked up a few channels. The outside light didn't come on with a sensor, but this can be fixed.

A perfect winter weekend getaway 🔥 🍷

Great place to stay

We stayed for 2 nights at Bella Vista in the El Camino cottage and had the most amazing time. Romantic, secluded, stunning property and views. We can't wait to return for another!

Beautiful spot with lots of wildlife. Easy check in and a short drive to Daylesford. Lovely spot

Beautiful, quiet spot! with the most amazing jacuzzi views! perfect for a weekend getatway!

We really enjoyed a sunset spa surveying the beautiful landscape! The villa feels remote and quiet, but you’re only 10mins from the town centre

Fantastic was a great little place Everything was perfect

Excellent place to stay and get away we will definitely be back!!

Relaxing Romantic getaway for two. Everything you need to cook with plus an included breakfast hamper was lovely. Fresh flowers and a huge spa with a view to die for. This place was the perfect getaway for the weekend. Close to town the local taxi service was very helpful and made going out at night easy. Highly recommended was a beautiful stay.

loved our stay highly recommend

Excellent studio villa with a beautiful view. The outdoor spa was amazing with great views and Kangaroos to spot all around. The inside spa was so relaxing, and we loved that we could open up the windows next to the spa bath and just relax listening to the birds outside. Definitely would recommend to other couples looking for a peaceful weekend away!

Such a lovely weekend getaway ! Highly recommend

El Camino is an absolutely stunning place to stay, perfect for a getaway! Very relaxing, amazing views, highly recommend!

We had a great time, and particularly loved the big spa and the gorgeous alfresco dining. A few maps (eg local walking trails) and local info would be a great addition.

Beautiful spot! We had a lovely time here and would return.

Beautiful place, woke up to kangaroos in the backyard! Lovely lake and the spa is an absolute treat!

Absolutely fantastic place! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would consider staying again in the future.

Great little get away! Beautiful spa and bath. Relaxing environment

Beautiful views, very clean, massive bath. Wood fire amazing. Enjoyed our stay!

This is the PERFECT location for a couple's weekend away to rest and recharge. The bed is so comfortable and having a soak while watching the sun go down was a dream. Every need is met, the property is beautiful and just a quick drive to restaurants etc. Would absolutely return and highly recommend!

Thank you for lovely relaxing time, the house was cosy with the open fire & spa bath. We really appreciated the little extra touch ith the breakfast hamper. we will reccomend to friends xx

A beautiful and cozy spot, the bath and hot tub were a perfect way to relax with amazing views from both. We saw lots of animals with their bubs which was a very cute treat. Would recommend.

Good little spot. Had a good time.

Such beautiful accommodation and has everything a couple needs to unwind and relax. Not far from Daylesford town and the quietness is perfect for an unwind.

Great little place tucked away on the edge of Daylesford. Very scenic. Great communication before and during stay.

Beautiful rural surroundings, enjoyed the wildlife at dusk with kangaroos and ducks surrounding the pond, perfect location near the Hepburn Bathhouse and local Hepburn restaurants. A bit dated , kitchenette has the bare minimum but clean , comfortable and has everything you need for a relaxing stay.

Absolutely breath taking views and the house was stylish and clean. The bed was unbelievably comfortable and that is something hard to find when traveling. Only one thing to note is the house is ran on solar hot water so keep that in mind when filling up that hot tub!

Me and my partner stayed here for a 2 night get away. The cottage is located in beautiful area, lovely scenery , quiet and peaceful . The home itself was gorgeous just like the photos . The spa bath was great and the fire made it feel real homely. The breakfast was a great added touch and the recommendations for local attractions was very helpful. I would definitely recommend anyone to stay here and I would definitely stay here again.

Amazing place to stay! Elvira sent a very descriptive message before check in that had all information. The place is very secluded and so peaceful. Coles and other shops were not a far drive at all. Split system worked perfect during the cold weather. Nice clean bathroom and spas. Overall, highly recommend!

Beautiful and private location. Hosts were very accomodating, great with communication and also respected our space and privacy. We had a relaxing couple of days away which was just what we needed. Great place! Highly recommended.

Absolutely stunning location. We really enjoyed relaxing in both the outdoor and indoor spas—these are definitely the highlight! Would love to stay again.

Great spot for a break. Great location. V tranquil. Lots to do in Daylesford and the surrounding areas.

Accomodation was lovely! So peaceful and secluded with a beautiful view from both spas 🙂 very relaxing
Host provided great information before arrival.

An amazing weekend away spot!
The place is private and secluded with absolutely beautiful and tranquil scenery while being just a stone’s throw from town. Lovely facilities and supreme conform.
10/10 would happily have stayed here forever.

This is a beautiful place to stay and we would definitely come back again.
Great communication by the host Elvira as well.

Beautiful spot, would strongly recommend for those who would like to enjoy nature and wildlife from the comfort of a spa.

Amazing scenic views from the spa!

Fabulous Great relaxing view from the bath tub. The place is quiet and well kept. Breakfast hamper was great. Coffee machine wasn’t clean on arrival. Found about 5 empty pods inside the machine.

I don’t even know where to start!! This place was absolutely incredible and exactly what my partner and I needed. The spa was fantastic, the inside spa bath was nice too. Really beautiful views, it was nice watching the kangaroos from the spa. Nice and close to some amazing locations and the hosts were very lovely & easy to communicate with. Without a doubt I will be staying here again when I return to the area 🙂

We loved it! A cute space with amazing views. Only a short drive to Hepburn Springs. It was exactly what we needed!

The spa’s are a big plus- fantastic views
Bed was very comfortable too
Nice place to stay

A fantastic self contained cosy villa nestled in beautiful bush land surroundings. The warm outdoor spa a wonderful treat. My partner and I enjoyed a beautiful weekend there. Upon arriving on a dark cold and rainy evening, we were greeted to a warm heated villa. Highly recommend this amazing destination.

We really enjoyed our time here. Gareth and Elvira are gracious and attentive hosts. The cottage is cozy, comfortable and beautifully presented with thoughtful little touches throughout that made our stay relaxing and enjoyable. Highly recommend using the outdoor hot tub especially at sunset, it was a lovely experience. We’d definitely stay here again!

Amazing!!! Stunning location so peaceful and quiet, animals came right up to the house.
The house was well equiped, very clean and cosy. Loved the fire.
Highlight of the trip was the outdoor spa. Just wonderful to sit in there and look out at the surroundings.
Our hosts were incredibly helpful, polite and accommodating. I would stay here again!

My partner and I wanted to getaway from our busy schedule and lifestyles, we booked Airbnb here and it was what we wanted, quiet place where we both can relax and fresh air. Big enough space for the two of us 🙂

Absolutely beautiful and peaceful. The birds chirping and singing is so lovely. So close to the hepburn springs and daylesford. Worth every penny.

beautiful place, super clean and great scenery. we really enjoyed the indoor spa! The host was great and very accommodating. We enjoyed spending our holiday here! %100 recommended!

nice property in a pleasant location

We loved our stay in Elevated Plains. Be wary as the drive is windy and there's lots of wildlife when arriving in the dark. However, the space was perfect for a winter getaway with great sunset views and clean facilities. Would stay again for sure.

Great location. Nice garden area and surrounds. Had some Kangaroos in the backyard which was pretty fun to watch.

Only real downside is the wifi was really bad. Was cutting in and out and there was no reception in the area either. Pretty hard to plan your day or things to do in the house.

But overall was a pretty lovely place to stay.

Absolutely beautiful

Was very peaceful and perfect escape

Everything you hope your romantic and secluded weekend away will be. Find a nice bottle of local wine and have it with an afternoon cheese platter on the terrace looking out at the Macedon hills

Really happy with the stay

I cannot emphasise enough how beautiful the property is. It’s a gorgeous location with amazing views and a very cozy space. The accomodation is roomy and pleasant, the inside bath is lush, and the outdoor hot tub sensational. We saw a ton of kangaroos and wildlife, definitely a memorable stay!

This was honestly an amazing get away!

Have never felt so relaxed and at home.

definitely worth the stay

It’s a nice little place just minutes from center! Clean and tidy with large bathroom with a bath tub to relax! Good WiFi reception for some areas in the room if you like to stream like us.

We couldn’t find the tv remote, host promise to send a new one but never received till we left! No Netflix or prime either!

All three units are very close to each other so outside privacy is not great even though you get your own little outdoor area. Also this is the smallest of the 3 units.

El Camino is a wonderful place to retreat, relax and recharge. There are no words to describe how stunning the setting is, with panoramic views and wildlife and bird life at the door. The accommodation has all the comforts of home, including an exceptionally comfortable bed, in addition to the luxury of a deep spa bath. Elvira and Gareth were exceptional, generous hosts. We stayed for a week and didn’t want to leave! No doubt we’ll be back one day.

Fantastic place to stay, but we booked it with the hope of using the spa bath. It had no spa actions due to the pump being broken. This was not communicated until we enquired after our arrival. The owners were very apologetic and lovely to deal with.

Lovely weekend getaway love seeing the kangaroos and an amazing place to stay

Elvira and Gareth's place is great! We had such a lovely, relaxing weekend away at their lovely place and would definitely be back again. The wood fire, hot tub and wildlife made it that extra bit special. Thanks so much for having us.

Elvira's place was wonderful for our anniversary stay, the views were wonderful and the space was cosy and relaxing! Any issues that we had, were quickly solved or advised through by Gareth and his quick response to calls and messages! Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a quaint getaway

Was a wonderful stay but phone service isn’t the best out there unless ur with Telstra and there is no internet connection but other then that it was amazing

Bella Vista is the ideal location for a relaxed weekend in Hepburn Springs! The hot tub is spectacular and the detached bungalow itself is exactly what we were after. Highly recommended!

Nice and clean. Relaxing spot to lounge and do nothing. Nice big hot tub indoors. Weather didnt really permit using the outdoor one but im sure its a treat. Great views down the valley over the bush/farm land. Felt quite private even though it’s relatively close to the hosts house.

Beautiful place, quiet retreat set amongst a gorgeous landscape. The property is very quiet and clean. It has all facilities you could need. The views are gorgeous and loads of wildlife around. Would highly recommend. Thanks for hosting us Elvira!

Absolutely amazing, everything about this place is great, can’t wait to come back soon!

Amazing view and environment.

Fantastic, secluded stay. Surrounded by wildlife, a fire place and a spa. Perfect simple getaway.

We went there to celebrate our anniversary and we had a lovely time eavesdropping on kangaroos while we were in the spa.

AMAZING! Couldn’t recommend enough

Photos and descriptions were accurate, place was spotless and close to the city centre.
Wildlife in the backyard, hopping around and sun baking 🙂

great little cottage with nice views and food location to Daylesford town centre

Very good location, tranquil, serene, beautiful location and even better villa. Had a fantastic time 🙂 definitely recommend.

great stay for a relaxing getaway

Stunning views, great hosts and the outdoor jacuzzi was amazing! Would stay again ! ☺️

Great location and accommodation. Quiet, relaxing and peaceful!

Really cozy but too hot in summer

Excellent experience.

If you're after a quiet and cosy weekend away this is the place to book. An outstanding place to stay with great little touches. Bacon, Eggs and Juice in the fridge waiting for us! Kangaroo's saying Good Morning at your window and an amazing spa to relax after a hard day of doing eating and drinking.

We absolutely loved our stay at Bella Vistas villas. Peaceful private and at one with nature. The surroundings are a tranquil heaven just what we were looking for away from our busy life.
Thank you very much for amazing experience, we will definitely be back!

Perfect little getaway. Couldn’t recommend enough

Superb Perfect location, quiet and isolated. Nice to see so many kangaroos close by in the morning. Great fireplace. Good breakfast supplies. Great spa bath. Easy check in/out. Wouldn't mind some jam or other spreads to go with the bread provided. Couch could be more comfortable. These things are minor improvements though.

amazing place with picturesque views. very comfortable place to unplug and unwind.

Amazing The spa in the bathroom was amazing and the view was beautiful.

Exceptional My husband and I had a wonderful stay at El Camino. The property is new and very clean. We had all the amenities we needed for a rejuvenating and relaxing weekend away. Hosts were great and communication was also great!
Can’t wait to stay again. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Such a gorgeous place to stay! We really loved that there were two spas! Definitely the highlight of the trip!
I would just note that the other accomodation on the property is super close to this, I didn’t realise that when booking so this might be helpful for others. 🙂

We had a lovely stay. Beautiful property with lots of kangaroos around. Great place to bring everything you need, bunker down and fully relax. The kitchen is well equipped and the bed is very comfortable. There is plenty of wood for the fire supplied, as well as a split system so the villa is very comfortable. I would suggest bringing some extra towels if you are planning to be in and out of the spa quite a bit during your stay. Would defiantly recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing getaway.

What a place! Beautiful views and incredible atmosphere close to everything tucked away. We loved our stay, it was clean and well set up. Make sure you bring anything for cooking or using the kitchen though as there aren’t any condiments but heaps of places around to eat out!

Incredibly comfortable and romantic villa set in a gorgeous, natural location. Communicative and helpful hosts, great facilities. Amazing views. A perfect break from the city- thankyou Gareth and Elvira

10/10 stay if you love nature. The Location was beautiful and the supplied breakfast was wonderful. Coming back for sure. The only negative would be the fairy lights around the hot tub not working.

As above My parents were absolutely thrilled with their surprise holiday at your destination. They mentioned that the hamper was perfect, the bed was extra comfortable, the whole house was clean and welcoming and the surrounding scenery was calm and very relaxing! It was perfect the way it was

Best place for a cosy and relaxing getaway

This was the best air bnb money could buy. Great value, exceptional landscapes and more importantly amazing vibes. We loved the hot tub and bath so much it became a mainstay for us. Overall, this trip can be summarised as magical, all thanks to Elvira!

A lovely secluded trip away. The spa was the highlight.

Elvira and Gareth's place was amazing to stay at! We had a lovely time in the spa and the bath and saw many kangaroos along the way. The drive there is up a dirt road but it was very manageable in my 2WD hatchback. Communication was lovely and we had everything we needed!

a great hidden gem located just outside of Daylesford, check in was a breeze and even with the bad weather we had an amazing stay!

Great stay. Very private and peaceful surroundings. Saw no one on the acreage property during our stay besides mobs of kangaroos. Short drive to Hepburn and Daylesford. Fireplace and spa/robes were perfect for a relaxing weekend away. A few little touches would have made our stay more comfortable. Kitchen provisions and bathroom soaps were fairly basic for the price point. Cabin is showing signs of wear and tear like fragile door locks and damaged vanity drawers.

Great location for a secluded weekend away. Would highly recommend for a romantic get away.

Exceptional Loved the extra touches, the comfy bed, fireplace and the amazing spas! The surrounding scenery was made even better as it snowed one morning 🙂 Gareth was extremely welcoming and easy to contact if we needed anything It was a little dark in the outside spa area at night as we couldn’t find out how to turn the fairy lights on

Avalon at Bella Vista was a stunning property that was even more gorgeous in person. The spas were beautiful and the view of the bush was utterly stunning Elvira and Gareth made the place incredibly comfortable and welcoming and were incredibly accommodating. Worth every cent!

It seems that they thought about everything to make our stay perfect. From the beautiful and immaculate cabin to the breakfast hamper the suggestion of dining and travelling in the area and to even setting up the wood in the fire place so all we had to do is just lite it. We would definitely come back. Highly recommended.

Was a lovely weekend away

Amazing outdoor setting, perfect for couples getaway

Gorgeous spot, clean and cozy. even some welcome chocolates. Bonus sunsets and wildlife all around.

Restful, serene, relaxing. Perfect for what we wanted.

All good

Perfect place to getaway, relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings for our wedding anniversary. Hosts were extremely helpful and friendly and communication from them was excellent. Beautiful accommodation and very comfortable bed. So many nice little touches throughout. The fire and spa bath were lovely and the view was spectacular. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend this property for a getaway. We loved it! Thank you Gareth and Elvira 😁 There wasn’t anything we didn’t like.

Great spot nice and quiet, very clean! Will be back

Worth it! Two amazing spas with amazing views of Australian bushland. Kangaroos jumping by around dusk, nicest sunsets from the outdoor spa, plenty of towels, could not ask for anything more.

I let the curious kangaroos, hilarious kookaburras and a spa bath with a million-dollar view de-stress me, and wash away the 'lockdown blues'. What a pleasure it has been to stay in such a lovely little cottage.

Our stay at El Camino was beyond wonderful! The photos do not do it justice! You are close enough to town and all the action, but far enough to truly enjoy some relax time. The cottage is so cosy & we really enjoyed tucking up in front of the fire. We cannot wait to return!

The place was amazing... loved the person touches with breakfast and fresh flowers

A relaxing getaway with fantastic views! The villa was clean and comfortable with great views. Would definitely recommend!

A perfect little cottage in the countryside! Fireplace, and indoor and outdoor spa, we could not have asked for anything more. Such a beautiful property to unwind! And so close to Hepburn Springs and Daylesford!

Beautiful spot, loved having the fireplace in the bedroom. Could have done with some sort of coffee making facilities.

Amazing, was so easy to contact and made my gift for Christmas to my parents amazing.

Gorgeous place, perfect to get away and enjoy the peace. Loved having the kangaroos on our doorstep and the hotub overlooking the scenery. I recommend this place if you are looking for a quiet getaway.

We had a beautiful stay in El Camino! The house was beautifully presented and was so cosy during the height of winter. We will be back!

El Camino is connected to another accommodation flat, however, you wouldn't know it. It feels as though you have the entire place to yourself.

Beautiful views peaceful relaxing accommodation couldn’t fault it highly recommend staying here

Beautiful relaxing location with fantastic spa facilities (indoor and outdoor spa) with clear usage instructions provided.

Perfect for a weekend away!

Lovely little place to get away. The view is beautiful. The intense quiet and starry views were such a nice relief from everything. Wallabies came to say hi everyday! We loved the breakfast hamper and massive deck chair to relax on all day long. An adorable place to stay!

Such a cosy & welcoming place to unwind. Could not recommend enough.

Absolutely would recommend this place- 100% The setting was perfect- away from town. Very comfortable and you could tell the owners have pride in their property. To top it off it snowed whilst we were there. Nil

This was a comfortable stay away from home and there were no surprises as the other reviews were very accurate. A good location for the places we wanted to visit and the directions were clear and easy to follow. It might have been nice to have the "welcome"package a few days earlier with the suggestions of places to eat but we had done our own research by then anyway.

Great Area and Place!

Be sure to bring DVD's, signal can drop a bit but was great

Beautiful little getaway! Everything was clean and the thoughtful little touches were lovely!

My partner and I loved staying at Elvira's place for the weekend. The villa was clean and had everything we needed, and the supermarket in Daylesford is only a short drive away. Elvira's instructions were very clear when finding the place/checking in - thank you for being such a great host!

Very quiet and peaceful stay. We loved the spa bath and surrounding nature. Easy drive into town. Would definitely stay again.

great stay for a relaxing getaway

Loved our stay at Elvira’s Airbnb. Easy check in process, everything was spotless and loved all the small details like chocolates and fire place being ready to go.

Recommend for a nice escape away from the hustle and bustle of the city

I highly recommend this air BnB. Everything was wonderful, a beautiful location and great value for what you receive.

We stayed in Avalon - Beautifully located amongst the gum trees, it’s peaceful and quiet, kangaroos everywhere at dusk. Great place to switch off and enjoy the beautiful area. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful weekend away here. The house has everything you need, with luxuries such as a beautiful spa and idyllic views. The house is perfect for a relaxing and quiet stay, yet is close to the local shops cafes and walking tracks.
Thank you to Elvira and Gareth- such amazing hosts. We hope to be back one day!
Jen & Calum

Beautiful setting for a relaxing stay in Daylesford /Hepburn Springs. The house is great for a relaxing break. The tub inside and jacuzzi outside are fabulous! Really clean and bright little place. Cosy and quiet too! We loved watching the kangaroos on the evening from the balcony.
A few extra utensils and touches would have made it better value for money. We had to buy dish scrubs and kitchen paper in order to clean things properly as only one dish cloth was provided. Also, a few utensils for the bbq would have been helpful too!

the place was very clean and had everything we needed. the fireplace and bath are so lovely and really allow you to relax. saw many kangaroos hopping around the property which was so nice. was a super clean space and the hosts were really easy to get in contact with. an addition that would be nice is having wifi, although they did clearly state that there wouldn’t be any. overall loved the place and would definitely recommend to others and stay again

The El Camino was an absolutely beautiful building, lovely gardens, beautiful atmosphere and surroundings, very quiet, and just a short distance from town

Quiet, relaxing and private space this is a perfect getaway from the city. Oscars is beautifully presented with great amenities and only a short drive from Hepburn and Daylesford. Look forward to another visit!

Great spa!

Great stay, very comfortable, clean and quiet. Loved all of the kangaroos too! Thanks Elvira 🙂

Lovely stay.

I would go back again Loved the privacy

If only we could've stayed longer!
Thank you Elvira and Gareth for allowing us to experience a peaceful getaway trip.
Received great communication and check in/out process was very easy.
The indoor fireplace made the cottage extra cosy with enough wood supplied.
We were very lucky to see kangaroos right outside the door step and throughout the late evening/early morning.

My partner and I could not be happier with this Airbnb. The ammenities including bath and spa were absolutely beautiful, and the surrounding nature was just incredible.

Elvira and Gareth were responsive, flexible and great hosts. The local recommendations provided were fantastic.

My partner proposed to on this trip and there was nothing better than coming back to a fireplace and beautiful spa bath. Such a romantic setting, we can’t wait to be back!

Great place to relax☺️☺️

The house was beautiful sparkling clean and nice touches which made our stay perfect!

Property had amazing views and the studio house was perfect for my friend and I. Very spacious and I loved the Ned Kelly fireplace it warmed the place up so quickly

This place is a little gem, cosy and romantic located in a beautiful part of the world.
We loved our stay and will definitely return next year or maybe sooner if we are lucky.

Clean and warm home with a bath and a Jacuzzi, a great choice for a holiday. And, basically, you can see wild kangaroos every day!

Beautiful spa villa in an excellent location, feels very private and secluded. The villa is spacious and tastefully decorated. We loved the fireplace and the 2 person spa! The villa had everything we needed and the breakfast hamper was wonderful.

Great accommodation for visiting Daylesford and surrounds. Elvira was an excellent communicator and made our visit to the area very easy. We would definitely stay here again.

Exceptional Tea candles didn't work

we had a really good time. nice to come from Melbourne to the piece and quite.
loved the spa, view from the spa is great.
Enjoyed the fireplace as it was just cold enough to use, and didn't mind chucking on a DVD at night time while we enjoyed dinner and a wine.
Feel ready to take on life again after a great reset.
thanks guys

Amazing place, better than expected. Very cosy and private. Would definitely visit again, highly recommend!

My girlfriend and I had a fantastic stay at Elvira's place. We will definitely recommend this stay to our friends, it was everything we could have asked for.

A simply beautiful cottage perfect for a romantic getaway. Spa bath is wonderful, and the cottage has been renovated and presented very well. Wonderful fire and location, we definitely look forward to staying again!

My partner and I had the pleasure of staying at Avalon and had a wonderful time, both at the villa and exploring the surrounding area. We had a power outage on the second night due to a storm and as it lasted the night, Gareth and Elvira gave us the third night on the house. Thanks for the great communication and excellent accommodation. We had a truly unique stay.

Exceptional This was an amazing property and one of the most romantic and cosy places we’ve ever stayed in. A lot of personal touches the wood fireplace and indoor and outdoor spas were just sensational. The drive to the property can be a bit rugged so be sure to not have a low riding vehicle. Fine for sedans, hatches and normal vehicles.

Private location with a great view, a little away from shops and cafes and need to drive down a dirt track to get there but very much worth it for a relaxed weekend away. Perfect for couples! Great stay.

This was honestly one of the nicest Airbnb’s I have ever stayed in. We saw so much wildlife from both the outdoor and indoor spa! I cannot recommend this place enough. Everything was so easy, relaxing and special. Definitely stay here!

Very quiet and peaceful stay. We loved the spa bath and surrounding nature. Easy drive into town. Would definitely stay again.

Lovely quiet spot, completely relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Such a great stay, beautiful and peaceful and the host was wonderful and attentive
Definitely recommend ♥️

Charming studio accommodation surrounded by bushland. The place is very clean and well laid out with a comfortable bed and couch. The outdoor spaces are really nice for a coffee in the morning or drink in the evening.

Beautiful location. We could see Kangaroos everyday, they were even visible from the upstairs spa bath.

Great view of the sunset and close to town.

We had a lovely stay. The views were stunning - highly recommended the outdoor spa by sunset! Absolutely gorgeous

Cannot describe how beautiful this place is! Amazing views and super relaxing. Everything was amazing and 100% recommend!!!!!
We didn’t even leave the place on the first day!

beautiful and secluded , we had such a lovely time here for a quiet midweek getaway. the view is stunning, such a perfect place for some relaxing time away!

Just absolutely amazing. My husband and I stayed up for my birthday and it was the most incredible accomodation. Really good location too, just a 5 min drive from town. Spacious, quiet, clean, and so relaxing. Loved having the fireplace at night, and the heated spa was fantastic. Definitely recommending this place to all our family and friends

Hi,

Cosy place with great privacy. There were orange juice, bottle of waters and eggs in the fridge 🙂 local tips were amazing to plan our weekend dinner and spa.

Thank you for your hospitality.

Great property. Couldn't ask for more.

Wonderful stay, exactly as advertised.

Overall very good stay, the spas are relaxing and a good way to spend a lazy night. The fireplace (+ the abundant supplied firewood) is good to warm up next to in winter. Thank you for the stay!

Exceptional Great place for a private getaway, had everything you would need for a comfortable stay.

highly recommend this place to stay.
absolutely amazing, relaxing and great views

Elvira and Gareth were such gracious hosts. They were easy to deal with and communication is top notch. The place is amazing and has everything you would want from personal touches such as lollies to an amazing breakfast hamper prepared for you.

The place is clean and has amazing views. We will definitely be back if we have the chance to do so. Thank you again for welcoming us. Cheers.

Lovely and quiet, cosy retreat perfect for a weekend away for myself and my partner!

A beautiful cottage with a lovely vista. Very cosy, comfortable and private. Lovey comfortable bed and the cottage had a well equipped kitchen. Easy communication with the host. We had a lovely stay.

Wonderful, very relaxing. Beautiful location, gorgeous view from the spa out the back.

Good spot. Nice place.

Lovely stay, beautiful and idyllic!

Check in was simple, communication was fast and effective.

Loved it and would highly recommend for a beautiful weekend away, we will be back Location was great, loved the views. Loved the cottage and the fireplace and all the little touches like chocolates and candles etc. Will definitely be back, highly recommend This is only a minor thing and would not stop me from coming back, breakfast stated continental plus eggs and bacon, however no bacon and couldn't work out what cups to use for coffee machine as none seemed to fit (as i said minor issue just giving feedback)

Great property. Couldn't ask for more.

Avalon’s stunning surrounding landscape and outside and (well designed ) inside tubs made our stay incredibly relaxing. A very special place!

We had the best time away for our weekend! The space is perfect for a cosy romantic trip with lots to see and do. Strongly recommend!

This place was so great to stay at, so cozy and the spa was amazing! would highly recommend!

Loved this place!! Especially loved the added extras like the breakfast and the treats available! Fantastic spot.. just make sure you have a decent car to tackle the Hepburn hills!!

Clean, great location, perfect size and great jacuzzi!

Worth the stay will think of going back

my partner and i stayed for 2 nights. was the ideal getaway for any couple, close to hot spa’s and the local town.
we had a beautiful stay nonetheless.
loved all the scenery and family of kangaroos that visited multiple times.

My husband and I came here for our honeymoon from Melbourne, looking for a bush-retreat but not too far from the local townships.

Very comfortable bed and great sized place; perfect for a couple.

The neighbouring villas are close but it’s still very private and nothing to worry about.

If coming in winter, make sure to pack warm socks or slippers as the floors get very cold.

It was a serene and beautiful place to stay. Me and my partner thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent at Elvira's place. Highly recommend for anyone looking to travel to Daylesford.

Lovely cottage, very nicely appointed. Great bath and nice outdoor areas with fabulous views. Elvira is a great host and puts a lot of effort into ensuring her guests comfort.

Booked Elvira's lovely Airbnb for a 2-night stay near Daylesford, had a great time. The living space is lovely and great location for the surrounding nature. Easy access to trails and just 10 mins drive to Daylesford centre. Perfect for a getaway!

We loved our stay at belle vista Avalon, especially having a spa and enjoying the view. The hosts were very helpful, accommodating and offered assistance straight away when we had a little trouble with the spa. Thank you Gareth and Elvira.

Thanks Elvira, my boyfriend and I had a lovely time here, the gardens are beautiful and very peaceful and the house was stocked with almost all ammenities needed for a short stay. We felt very comfortable here, would be back again

Loved staying at Bella Vista this weekend for a weekend away with my fiancé. Oscar’s Villa is beautiful, clean and cosy. The spa is brilliant. Queen bed was super comfy. The breakfast hamper was lovely - it was great on Saturday morning to cook bacon, eggs, toast and have fresh orange juice and sit and enjoy the beautiful view. Highly recommend.

Peaceful and relaxing stay A beautiful location indeed, with Australian wildlife right outside your door. We were very pleased with the warm and welcoming look of the villa. Lots of privacy and spacious bathtub.
Exactly the kind of getaway we were looking for. The DVD player is very loud so watching a movie can be a bit distracting. TV channels were often out of range too, so we couldn't watch much TV.

I love staying at Gareth and Elvira's place. It's a really great escape from the bustling city life. It's very serene but not too secluded, having only 10 minute drive to town.

Beautiful villa with everything you need. Secluded & private, while only a 10 minute drive from town, and a lovely view from the spa. If you're lucky, you'll have a close encounter with a kangaroo. Elivira was very helpful throughout the stay.

Exceptional Great location with a cozy setting

See my other review- we stayed an extra night because we didn't want to leave! 🙂

We loved our stay here. The place was small and cosy in a beautiful setting.

Beautiful place to relax, however the three accommodations are so close to each other and did not have real privacy. Understanably covid times and the area in general hasnt been maintained however the place is a little tired and missing basic kitchen items like wine/champagne glass or mugs for coffee. You will need to bring your own water. Otherwise beautiful property away from the main town but only minutes away. The spa bath was pretty awesome!

Elvira went above and beyond as my boyfriend and I stayed at her accommodation for our birthday celebration. When entering she had set up a decorative wall with happy birthday balloons and sign and even left us a birthday present of chocolate and a bottle of champagne. The indoor and outdoor sauna was a relaxing and wonderful addition of the accommodation. Elvira provided an in-depth document of restaurants and spa houses to explore which was highly appreciated. We would definitely recommend this wonderful accommodation for any staycations.

We stayed at Bella Vista Villas for two nights over a weekend and it was more than perfect. There is everything you need, the stars here are just amazing so highly recommend laying out on the back deck at night. There is also a really cute pub which had live music on the weekend which is close by. Heaps of activities to do around the area and most of all just super relaxing. A really great spot to getaway. Could not recommend highly enough! We'll be telling all our friends! Cheers, Ben

Amazing location, beautiful property, not completely private but the seclusion of the location makes up for that. Loved our stay!

Lovely stay at Elvira's. The main highlights are the setting (Kangaroos welcome you as you enter the road to get to the property) and the jacuzzi. Rare to have a full sized jacuzzi in a property and what a treat.
The main area is bright and modern, the bathroom is adequate although due an upgrade.

Beautiful spot, would stay again.

Lovely, very quiet. Endless nice food options just 10 minutes away.

Great location, very relaxing and perfect setup of a couple of nights away from the city.

Beautiful spot Our second stay here, such a beautiful property and the room was cosy and perfect for a romantic getaway. Owners made sure we had everything we needed. Breakfast was a nice touch.

Lovely place, disappointed about the outdoor spa Lovely room, lovely indoor spa, very clean room We didn’t use the outdoor spa as it was too dirty which was disappointing. Also one of the two wine glasses was broken.

Beautiful place with lovely scenery. Really peaceful and quiet. The spa was great really loved the view from the spa.

An awesome place in a fabulous setting. We loved it! Everything was perfect

Relaxation dream! This property was the highlight of our weekend away. The TWO spas (one indoor, one outdoor) were the absolute highlight of our stay, and added to the fireplace, Avalon was a dream relaxation spot! The property is cosy, well decorated and sports a stunning view of the bush with an abundance of kangaroos outside each day. Its close to Hepburn springs and Daylesford shops and there are so many amazing food spots near by. Internet reception was fine for us however bring dvds as the satellite was inconsistent. Overall, 10/10 would definitely book again.

Amazing space! , sparkling clean nice and quiet. Great communication highly recommended. Cannot wait to come back. Thank you so much for having us

We absolutely loved it here! It is our new favourite place. Perfect distance from town. Beautiful place and great hospitality. Can’t wait to stay again.

Amazing Amazing Amazing!!! We had a great weekend away thanks to Elvira & Gareth. Check in process was seamless, there were some wonderful touches around the house ..like the fireplace all prepped and ready to go, breakfast provisions in the fridge was thoughtful and overall the house was extremely cosy and comfortable. Thanks again!

This place was fantastic. Off the grid and the privacy was just perfect. The Tuscan feel to the house added to beautiful sweeping views where you can relax on the grass area all afternoon until the sunset. The home was extremely nice and clean. Elvira’s instructions and communication was great. Highly recommend this place.

Couldn't recommend this gem more - Elvira and Gareth were wonderful to deal with, and the property was absolutely perfect for a relaxing getaway. Wish we could've stayed for longer. Thanks a million!

An excellent place with an incredible view. the property was incredibly well maintained. Can't wait to book another trip soon!

Exceptional It’s relaxing, I loved the spa The lavender bush out the front, attracted to many bees so we couldn’t use the bbq out the front.

Beautiful, peaceful and intimate. Close enough to everything you need from Daylesford and far enough away that you feel you’ve left the rat race behind. Loved our stay very much! Enjoying the outdoor spa while watching the kangaroos was a highlight. Highly recommend a stay!

We had a lovely stay. Not too far from Daylesford, but out of town enough to be in a peaceful and private setting. Great little place with all that you need.

This place was a wonderful hideaway in the Australian bush scene. So quiet and private

The house was in a lovely, quiet location that had some lovely views from the windows. You will need to drive everywhere but that’s ok!

Good spot. Nice place.

My partner and I booked for our anniversary and found it to be beautiful. From the scenery it provides plenty of opportunity for romance and perfect moments. No issues, would love to return!

A beautiful little chalet on a gorgeous serene property. All you need for a weekend escape

Perfect solo getaway! Location was excellent and I enjoyed being tucked away. Breakfast items were perfect. I was so surprised that the outdoor spa was mine to use to myself! Hosts were so lovely and accomodating. Sounds of the appliances and water system, as it's all in one room.

Elvira and Gareth's place was beautiful and serene. It is the perfect place for a relaxing weekend away. Will definitely be back again!

The place was stunning, was a bit of a bummer because the outdoor spa wasn’t working and the indoor spa took a while to work out how to turn on, even though it was just a button it was very hard to turn on. Other than that, the views were amazing and the wood fire made it very homely and warm.

Such a romatic getaway destination! It gave us alot of privacy and we enjoyed our time there thoroughly.

Hot tub indoors was spacious and jacuzzi outdoors was so romantic!

Loved it!

An incredibly beautiful place specially the hot tub at night ! Breakfast with the kangaroos, a gorgeous little pond with ducks & a cozy fireplace inside the cottage made the stay extraordinary!

The listing name does not lie - it really was an idyllic couples’ getaway. There was much beauty to explore on the large area of land and the accommodation itself was clean, thoughtfully laid out and welcoming. We saw more kangaroos than humans during our 3-day stay.

Thank you to Gareth and Elvira for facilitating our getaway!

Incredibly beautiful villa. Does not disappoint. Will be back next season.

Simply stunning. It was the perfect place, set on a beautiful property for a few nights to get away and simply relax. Less than 15 mins to the heart of Daylesford it was perfectly located. The spa and the fireplace were just gorgeous. Did not even notice or hear the other guests in the other two villas on the property.

Perfect romantic getaway with breathtaking views. It was so cosy and the moment we walked in, we felt at ease immediately. We enjoyed relaxing in the spa outside while looking out to the sunset, the warmth of the fireplace on a cold night and the lovely breakfast hamper that was given upon arrival to make our mornings even better. Everything about this place was beautiful!

Beautiful peaceful surroundings. We saw many kangaroos close to our accommodation. Everything we needed was available. The only downside was the uncomfortable pillows. The top drawer in the kitchen was broken and the left sided wardrobe door was off the track, but otherwise everything was perfectly. We’ll definitely come back

A bit of a challenge driving here but is so worth it. Secluded area with a nice view in the outdoor jacuzzi. Perfect for couples.

Elvira & Gareth’s place was lovely for our weekend getaway. It is on a beautiful property and was cosy. It had all the amenities we needed and was perfect to relax in after a day of enjoying Daylesford-Hepburn Springs. The house was clean and had a nice big fridge and bathroom. Check in was easy and it is only a short drive away from nice cafes and restaurants.
We had a wonderful stay, can recommend this place.

Exceptional Clean, tidy and the owners so very helpful. I would book back here in a heart beat. Fantastic spot to just runaway to. Secluded and quiet With kitchen utensils the fry pan wasn't nonstick which made cleaning harder.
A sponge to clean dishes and scrub the pan would have just been handy. Otherwise it was perfect, very minor

Nice little cottage in a serene area, out of the hustle bustle of the town but close enough for easy access. Would recommend.

Was a beautiful location, and a great secluded spot. Highly recommend for a peaceful and private getaway.

We had a great time, awesome with the fireplace on a cold evening
