In winter you’ll be toasty and warm in the Art Retreat – with underfloor and reverse cycle heating, cosy flanellette sheets, a winter weight quilt, top of the line electric blanket and thick warm coverlets, along with hot chocolate, and a range of teas and coffees. Snug as bugs in a rug. Nestled in an incredible garden behind the owner’s art studio, this little gem is thoughtfully decorated and provides an ever-changing vista through the seasons. You can enjoy the garden view from the four-poster bed with its luxurious pillow-top premium bedding, sample a local wine in your own private courtyard, or relish a frothy hot chocolate in front of the ethanol fire while you watch the native birds gambol about in the beautiful old trees. The owners of this lovely little hideaway live on site but will happily leave you to yourselves or say hello if you pass by. The Art Retreat is equipped with a coffee pod machine, toaster, microwave, and lovely selection of artisan teas in the charming kitchenette. Nip up to the Sunday markets for local jams or the Wombat Gardens Café to grab some beautiful sourdough bread from Dairy Flat Farm, or find some local ales, ciders, wines or spirits at an award winning local vineyard or distillery to enjoy while you’re here. Only a few minutes’ walk from Cliffy’s, Wombat Hill Botanic Gardens, the Convent, and the culinary delights of the main street and Lake Daylesford, it’s the perfect little pad for exploring Daylesford on foot, and the off-street parking means you can leave your car behind with no misgivings. The Art Retreat is just that – a retreat from the everyday. Nestle in like a pair of hibernating wombats or flit in and out like the honeyeaters you’ll see in the garden. Either way you’ll be rejuvenated by a stay here. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Internet access ### Parking and transport - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchenette - Coffee/tea maker - Microwave - Toaster ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Garden ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Things to do - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Property does not allow children ## Similar properties ![Luxury Cottage, 2 Bedrooms, Jetted Tub, Garden View | 2 bedrooms, iron/ironing board](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/11000000/10510000/10505300/10505254/f5d1eaf2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Cottages at Hepburn Springs Hepburn Springs - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Parking included - Air conditioning 8.4 Very good 99 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-17&endDate=2025-12-18&selected=10505254&PinnedHotelID=10505254&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/36000000/35240000/35235900/35235854/8c439c5f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lake Como Studio- perfectly located cosy escape Daylesford - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Air conditioning - Parking available 8.8 Excellent 25 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-17&endDate=2025-12-18&selected=35235854&PinnedHotelID=35235854&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/61000000/60210000/60207500/60207408/3d5c7449.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Luxurious Hilltop Studio, only 10 minutes walk to the main street of Daylesford Daylesford - Air conditioning - Outdoor space - Breakfast available - Parking available 9.2 Wonderful 11 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-17&endDate=2025-12-18&selected=60207408&PinnedHotelID=60207408&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![1 bedroom, iron/ironing board, free WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/30000000/29490000/29486600/29486532/d070a7a5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Circa Ruby Mint Daylesford \~ Town Centre!

It felt very safe and had everything that I needed. The couple living in the main house were extremely lovely and helpful, but also kept to themselves. I will definitely be back! ##### Emma A. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Peter C. 29 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Art Retreat We had a problem locating the place as it wasn't on Google maps. Managing the door code in poor light and pouring rain was a bit difficult. View of TV from the bed was obscured by bed poster. Small table was unstable. Having said that, all equipment was state of the art, towels superb, underfloor heating very welcome, torch for the night and even ear plugs a nice touch. ##### Peter C.
