    “The view was lovely. Little details....someone had pre-set everything in the fireplace ready to make a fire. Goodies in the fridge were much appreciated. We were surprised to find all the implements required to make a meal in the kitchen. All...”

Locarno is a spacious one-bedroom cottage with stunning views over the surrounding forests of Hepburn Mineral Springs Reserve. Situated in the most desirable part of Hepburn Springs, the cottage provides a relaxing and peaceful getaway. The kitchen contains all the essentials if you want to prepare your own meals, but the Daylesford/Hepburn Springs area has a well-deserved reputation for outstanding cafes and restaurants. The cottage has two split-system air conditioning units and a woodburning heater with about 15kg of firewood supplied. There is free WiFi and two large smart TVs with the Netflix and Stan streaming services included. The landscaped gardens offer a choice of four outdoor seating areas: the north-facing front garden has a deck just off the bedroom as well as a swing seat at the far end; the rear deck has a gas barbecue, dining table and large cantilever umbrella; and the lower deck on the west side is perfect for enjoying the sunset while seated around the chiminea. Pets are very welcome at Locarno Cottage, including inside the cottage. We ask that dogs do not go on the sofa or bed; if you don't think you'll be able to prevent that, please bring along your own throws/blankets to protect our furnishings. The secure garden has fencing and gates that are at least 97 cm high.
After living in London for many years, we decided to move to Melbourne for a lifestyle change. And then, after just 2 years in the city, we decided on a tree change in the Daylesford/Hepburn Springs area, as we had holidayed here previously and fell in love with it, as it has both European and Australian characteristics and charms. I run the holiday let businesses with the help of my partner Andrew. I am more hands-on with cleaning and preparing our cottages for guests and making sure everything is to their liking. Andrew is more behind the scenes, ensuring our reservations system and other IT systems and facilities are working well. We make a great team and love welcoming new and returning guests to experience our cottages and all that the beautiful Daylesford/Hepburn Springs region has to offer. We live nearby and guests can contact us by mobile phone at any time if they need assistance.
The Hepburn Bathhouse & Spa complex in the neighbouring Hepburn Mineral Springs Reserve is a short walk down the road and offers a range of hot mineral water bathing and pampering spa treatments. There are also very many day spas within walking distance in Hepburn Springs village or a short drive to the neighbouring town of Daylesford.
