Yet despite being right in the heart of town, Albert Cottage remains wonderfully peaceful and private. Tucked behind its charming façade, this beautifully restored 1856 double-fronted miner's cottage offers a warm and inviting retreat where heritage charm meets modern comfort, creating the perfect place to relax after a day exploring Victoria's renowned spa country.

Inside, timeless period features blend seamlessly with contemporary comforts. High ceilings, light-filled living spaces and thoughtful modern conveniences create an atmosphere that feels instantly welcoming. The fully equipped kitchen features a Nespresso coffee machine, gas cooktop and electric oven, making it easy to prepare leisurely breakfasts before heading into town or relaxed dinners using fresh local produce. Ducted heating throughout keeps the cottage cosy during Daylesford's cooler months, while complimentary Wi-Fi and smart entertainment ensure every stay is as comfortable as it is relaxing.



After a day of indulgence, retreat to the spacious bathroom and sink into the luxurious double spa bath, perfectly sized for two. Pour a glass of local wine, light a candle and let the stresses of everyday life simply melt away. Outside, the private courtyard provides another inviting space to gather, complete with a barbecue and outdoor dining for eight guests—perfect for leisurely breakfasts, long lunches with local produce, or warm summer evenings under the stars.
