Summary of reviewsBeautiful house with charming, earthy, rustic, and luxurious touches. Magical outlook from inside to the garden. Warm and cosy ambiance with lovely details like fresh flowers, heating, and soft lighting.

Our stay at Zahalka House in Daylesford was lovely. Nestled beside Smith’s Creek and surrounded by a beautiful garden amd deck.
The house was just as we expected from a country cottage and enjoyed the use of the fire and the deck overlooking the garden, which was a beautifully setting for our morning coffees.
The location is easily accessible and only a short drive into town. Unfortunately our experience at Hepburn springs was cancelled less then and hour before our booking, however we were able to arrange madsages and facials at a day spa in town.
We made the mostbof the cafes and restaurants in town and were not disappointed, Betel Boy getting our top votes.

Beautiful house and garden. We were lucky enough to stay while the pretty blossoms were out on the trees surrounding the deck. The outlook from the inside to out was magical. It was a cold and wet weekend but we were warm and cosy in this amazing house. If you like charming, earthy, rustic and luxurious all rolled into one you’ll love this place. Some lovely touches included fresh flowers inside, heating and soft lighting on when we arrived.

My girlfriends and I had a wonderful stay at Zahalka House. All the amenities u expect were there (comfy bed, beautiful linen, cosy fireplace) also with some quirky and nostalgic touches. Would highly recommend!

Absolutely magnificent home full of personality and character. Bags of it actually
The attention to detail and a nod to everything vintage makes you feel like a walk back in time.
We took the opportunity to play board games, make puzzles and listen to the vinyl, all with a glass of wine at hand of course
We look forward to returning again sooner rather than later. Highly recommended
