“Very charming”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Room type: Standard room, double spa in a dedicated bathroom down the hallway. TV, microwave, coffee and tea facilities, hairdryers. FIRE PLACE. Room heater with electric blankets. DVD player.

Location: Main road in Daylesford leading from the city. On the left just opposite the Coles Express service station. Five/ten minute walk to Vincent street (main street).

Short version: Nice, rustic and romantic. Each room has a fire place and if you've booked the deep spa, you won't be disappointed. The owner showed me the room. Close to the main strip and the Sunday market is about 10 minutes walk up the hill.

Long version: First of all, it's a "one man band" type scenario, so don't expect a concierge to come out and greet you. That said, the owner is charming and very helpful. Once you've picked up the keys, they'll pointed out all the good places to be.

The rooms are clean, neat and tidy before you get there. Essential oils already burning in the room. The spa bathroom is nice and clean.

Nicely priced, it's not bad for a couples getaway.

The only criticism that one of the remotes wasn't working, but for a romantic weekend away, that's a good thing.

A great little restored cottage, simple, very clean, plenty of ambience. Christine was so enthusiastic about Daylesford and the surrounding area, and that enthusiasm was catching. Loved the place for it's simplicity and would definitely return.

“Beautiful room. Excellent communication.”

I stayed in the deluxe room and would reccomend this room to others. I loved the large spa with fireplace opposite. The air con kept the separate bedroom very warm and the room was tastefully decorated. With wooden furniture and some artwork it felt very warm. Christine was extremely pleasant & helpful when communicating on the phone & gave suggestions of what to do in walking distance, being aware that I was coming via public transport. Would come back. Thanks!

“Good management but seemed overpriced”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 June 2010

people found this review helpful

I think the people running this place do a great job with the asset they have: a host received me in person, was attentive, answered my questions and gave me a map. The owners also did a great job in decorating the and furnishing the room. Plus it has a small garden.
However, I found the room a bit dark and since the only indoor common space we had access to (at least when I was there) was a small dinning room, I felt that there was not a place to just hang out and enjoy (unless I wanted to be in my room).
In addition, I felt that the price was high for what you get (it is a nice room but in a simple house, with no special views, parking or breakfast included). Maybe Daylesford is expensive, but as a tourist I found other B&B's in Australia that offered much more for similar prices.

“Warm, Cosy and Delightful”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 April 2010

person found this review helpful

Our stay at Spa Fire was very short however the small little things made the impression. The electric blanket was put on before our arrival, delicious treats placed on the bed, lit candles and the fire crackling in the background created the perfect romantic mood. The proprietor also made spa/massage bookings on our behalf with Endota Spa which was convenient - the spa/massage treatment was perfect and invigorating! All we had to do was turn up - it was all taken care of!
Location wise, it was right around the corner from the market, Mercato's, Cliffy's, and the township.
Overall a perfect weekend in Daylesford! Will be back!
