Little Wombat - Elegant Garden Cottage

Little Wombat is perfectly positioned on the edge of the iconic Wombat Hill Botanic Gardens, where elevated views stretch across the dreamy Daylesford landscape. There’s something undeniably special about this setting—misty mornings, birdsong drifting through the trees, and that quiet, slow pace that makes Daylesford so loved.

Reminiscent of a romantic Parisian garden apartment, this restored 1860s miner’s cottage blends old-world charm with thoughtful, contemporary comforts. Inside, the home feels warm, intimate, and effortlessly stylish. Two inviting bedrooms offer a peaceful place to retreat, while the light-filled kitchen and dining space is perfect for long, lazy breakfasts or evenings spent cooking with local produce. The cosy lounge room invites you to curl up with a glass of wine after a day exploring.

A highlight of the home is the beautifully appointed brand-new bathroom—an indulgent sanctuary designed for complete relaxation. Featuring a deep, luxurious bath with separate shower and elegant finishes throughout, it’s the kind of space that invites you to slow down, soak, and unwind. We can't wait to share photos of this beautiful space with you soon.

Outdoors, the magic continues. The front of the cottage captures sweeping, ever-changing views across Daylesford, while the rear opens onto a more private, ‘wild’ garden that gently blends into the Botanical Gardens beyond. A charming, canopied courtyard creates the perfect setting for a quiet morning coffee or a romantic evening under the stars.

From your doorstep, wander through the Botanic Gardens to the beloved Wombat Hill House for coffee and something sweet, or continue on to the beautiful Convent Gallery. The heart of Daylesford is just moments away, where boutique stores, galleries, and local favourites like Manteau Noir and Paradise Bookshop await.

Whether you’re here for long lunches, spa days, or simply to reconnect and unwind, Little Wombat offers a truly romantic Daylesford escape—rich in charm, comfort, and quiet beauty.
