It was the perfect place for our family to catch up and truly unwind. Kids loved exploring the surrounding bush land and keeping an eye on the local kangaroos. After a day of exploring Daylesford and the surrounding region, coming home to a roaring log fire and cooking for loved ones is my idea of bliss. And all the bedrooms are beautifully furnished, and have comfy beds. Morning coffees on the daybed - sublime! Thanks for being such a helpful host Geoff, and we really appreciate the warm arrival. We would love to return one day, and would recommend Bluegums to others. ##### Jaime M.

The property was very charming, rooms attractively decorated, and very well-equipped. The generous welcome hamper was very much appreciated. The owner Geoff kept in touch, made helpful suggestions about activities in the local area, and we were impressed he came to the property from Melbourne when there was a problem with the television. He also extended the check-out time. We had a delightful few days there, enjoyed just spending time in the house, and it was lovely to see the kangaroos come near the dam in the evening. ##### Elizabeth C.

Thank you very much Geoff. We all really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful and peaceful. ##### John M. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### GLENISE G. 25 Oct 2018 #### Relaxing weekend at Hepburn Springs in a quality property Six of us have just returned from a very relaxing and successful "two birthdays" family weekend at Bluegums Retreat. From the moment we arrived, the propery looked and felt peaceful and comfortable. The Welcome Package was appreciated. The landscaping and views are the highlights. In particular, the Bluegums garden and rockeries demonstrate thoughtful planning and attention. The result is a delightful complement to the lovely bluestone building. The ground floor comprises a large modern kitchen, bathroom with shower and toilet, a dining area, a comfortable lounge with large TV (including Netflix) and a lovely balcony/verandah. Downstairs is another lounge with a TV and fusball table (very popular). Heating and cooling are excellent with air conditioning and pot belly fires. Upstairs are three bedrooms. The very large main bedroom has an ensuite, spa and small balcony; the second queen bedroom is a bit tight for space and the third bedroom can be configured to two singles or a queen double. All three rooms are attractively furnished and presented. The only negatives apply to the two smaller bedrooms - a lack of hanging space and a trip down the stairs to the shared bathroom. A highlight for us was the view from the balcony. Each night we enjoyed drinks and nibbles looking across the small dam to a large field, beyond which is a hill with olive trees. None of this actually belongs to Bluestone, but from the balcony it all looks like its your very own property! A memorable moment was about 5.30 pm on our first evening, when six kangaroos appeared. They hopped between the dam and us and stated grazing in the field. They were joined later by another six who came from the olive trees. One had a joey, who emerged from her pouch hopped energetically about as it showed off. The location is 2-3 minutes' drive from the Hepburn Springs Spa, a bit far to walk. Parking is in front, which makes it easy to unload and pack the car. A neighbouring house on the right is close, but not intrusive. The house to the left is quite a distance away. You feel like you've escaped the pressures of the city without sacrificing any of comforts! We enjoyed ourselves very much at Bluestone Cottage and will return. ##### GLENISE G.
