CHESTNUT DAYLESFORD

We were very lucky to be gifted a weekend away before we have our first baby – yes, a babymoon!  But I also thought, with Valentines’ Day around the corner, this would be a great idea to share!

We have visited Daylesford a number of times for a range of reasons: to attend weddings, a weekend away to celebrate an anniversary or birthday; or just escape the city for the day for lunch.  Daylesford is about an hour and a half from Melbourne, so it is a great country escape!  You can check out my review of The Stoney Cottage, including some other places to eat and shop here.

Chestnut Daylesford was the perfect place for us.  It is pet friendly and had everything we needed to enjoy a few days away together to relax.  I even had two baths! This is a very rare and unusual event for me (I am not usually a bath person).

Chestnut is a studio style accommodation, which has been built in the back part of a weatherboard house (which is used as a two bedroom accommodation option).  It is in an excellent location; walking distance to the local main street, great restaurants (for example, The Perfect Drop and Kazuki’s) and the Convent Gallery (in case you like Art or are attending a wedding there).  

Beautifully furnished, I highly recommend this as a place to stay for two people and a pooch and it is very reasonably priced.

Chestnut is one of three properties managed by the owner Lise, who is just lovely.  Breakfast provisions are provided and the kitchen has many of the essential items you would need if you wanted to cook a meal.

If you are looking for a modern, comfortable and convenient place to stay, this is for you! We have stayed here twice now and would definitely return.
