Wayward Cottage - Pet Friendly Haven with Free Wi-Fi!

Set beside the iconic Farmers Arms Hotel, opposite the Sunday market and an easy walk into town, this charming cottage makes it effortless to enjoy everything the region has to offer without ever feeling far from your own private retreat.

Inside, the home is light-filled, airy and thoughtfully styled for comfort. Three beautifully appointed bedrooms — featuring a king split and two queen beds with luxury linen — make it ideal for couples, families or a small group getaway (and your four-legged friend is welcome too).

The heart of the home opens onto a rear deck and outdoor entertaining area, perfect for slow mornings, long lunches and relaxed evenings. Surrounded by a thoughtfully landscaped garden and overlooking the farmland beyond, it’s an ideal setting to fire up the BBQ with local produce, pour a glass of wine and truly unwind.

Whether you’re here for cosy winter weekends, market mornings or long, lazy escapes with friends, Wayward Cottage is a place to switch off — while still being right in the centre of it all.

Wayward Cottage is pet-friendly accommodation with a fully fenced yard. Pets are not allowed on bedding or furniture.

Bedding: Bedroom 2 has a king-sized bed that can be split into 2 x singles if needed. We will contact you when your booking is received to confirm your preferred bedding configuration.

Payment: Please note credit card surcharges apply when paying by Visa, Mastercard or Amex.
Make yourself comfortable in your air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a refrigerator and a Smart TV. The bathroom has a bathtub and a hair dryer. Conveniences include a microwave and a washing machine.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Location NOT what it should be

Superb little house - terrific character and all was as advertised. Loved it. Until 6am in the morning when the concrete trucks start queueing for the Boral cement works opposite. Then it’s noisy like the worst thing we have encountered. So for this reason - it was great at night - and miserable in the morning.

Beautiful accommodation

Our stay was perfect hosted by daygets in Daylesford. Great communication, stress free lockbox entry & exit. Such a beautiful well appointed 3 bedroom cottage to stay in, everything is thought of with its well equiped kitchen to the luxuries of velvet doona cover & linen in all 3 bedrooms to fluffy towels, comfy couch & a welcome package on arrival was such a pleasant surprise. We Loved sitting by the fire in the lounge & overlooking country side with cows from the back view. Games & books are provided for children’s entertainment not to mention Netflix available on telly. Everything is provided a home away from home experience. Our stay was perfect -thanks so much for hosting our family. We definitely will be booking again. Only negatives would be -dusty/overall cleanness in front 2 bedrooms other than that everything was perfect for our 4 night stay.
