Little Wombat Summary

Summary:
Discover Little Wombat in Daylesford - A cosy and stylish retreat perfect for couples or solo travellers. With warm interiors, modern comforts, and a peaceful setting close to town, it’s the ideal base to relax, unwind, and explore all that Daylesford has to offer

The Space:
Evoking the charm of a sophisticated Parisian garden retreat, Little Wombat is a beautifully furnished 1860s Australian miner’s cottage that offers a serene sanctuary right in the heart of Daylesford. Nestled within the enchanting Wombat Hill Botanical Gardens, the cottage enjoys sweeping panoramic views across the landscape, creating an atmosphere of timeless tranquillity.

Inside, the home blends historic character with refined styling. There are two cosy bedrooms – one with a queen bed and the other with a king bed - each thoughtfully appointed to ensure comfort and rest. A modern kitchen and dining area provides everything you need for home-style meals, while the snug sitting room invites you to curl up and relax after a day of exploring. The spacious bathroom features contemporary finishes, with a generous walk-in shower or bath for a refreshing start or end to your day.

Outdoors, the front terrace captures ever-changing vistas of Daylesford, while the private rear courtyard looks directly into the lush gardens – the perfect setting to unwind with a glass of wine or a good book. For added convenience, the property also offers an EV charger, making it a thoughtful choice for eco-conscious travellers.

Blending European-inspired elegance with Australian country charm, Little Wombat is an inviting retreat for those seeking beauty, comfort, and a truly unique Daylesford escape.

The Neighborhood:
Nestled along the pathway leading to the year-round splendour of Wombat Hill Botanical Gardens, Little Wombat provides easy access to the divine Wombat Hill café. The gardens beckon with their tranquil allure, inviting leisurely strolls culminating in indulgent pastries and coffees.

A scenic walk from the gardens leads to the renowned Convent Gallery. Additionally, the cottage sits in close proximity to Daylesford's main thoroughfare, the starting point of your Daylesford adventure, showcasing an array of boutique shops, collector havens, art galleries, and the celebrated Paradise bookshop. For dining options, explore local country pubs, charming cafes, and exceptional restaurants.

Little Wombat a cosy place to stay

A beautiful cosy cottage in a very quiet area with the stunning Wombat Hill botanic gardens at the back fence. Lovely gas log fire and big spa bath. Highly recommended.

Cute

Very comfortable. Cottage is smaller then looks in photos. The Shower taps are confusing. The Steep hill, parking and distance from the main street is a challenge but the upside is its amazing location to Convent Gallery and backing onto Wombat Gardens.
