The property was very well appointed for a short or medium length stay for two. A small area for dogs at the front is fully enclosed however the backyard is open. The location as a short walk to central Daylesford or Hepburn Springs is ideal to not need to drive much once you arrive, but a short drive and you’re in Creswick or Castlemaine. Walking Lake Daylesford was definitely a highlight. The property is an ideal base for a relaxing holiday.

We found the floor inside dirty in places. The bed hard and uncomfortable. The dog run and the general yard overgrown. Our small pet was snagged three times on the long thorny blackberry stems even though he was on the lead at all times. The grass required mowing.The cottage was well appointed and in a good location close to town.

Stayed at Tara overnight for the 19th-20th of August with my fiancé and dog Ajax and it was utter perfection. The location, the layout of the cottage, the views and it being dog friendly? What else could be better? We loved every minute of it and will definitely be back! Thanks Prue!
