About this property

Ironbark cabin, a tranquil secluded getaway between Daylesford and Kyneton.

  • About the space

    Ironbark Cabinn is a beautifully appointed one bedroom space, with unimpeded views. Located close to Malmsbury, Daylesford and Kyneton, you will have everything you need for the perfect getaway.
    Relax on the deck watching the sunrise/sunset and be serronaded by the local bird life with a coffe in the morning and in the evenings the frogs join in. Observe the eagles that frequent the property during the day.
    The area is rich in history, art, wine and fabulous restauarnts.

    The Cabin
    The Cabin was relocated from Hepburn and renovated to make a wonderful retreat featuring Phoebe Everill's furniture throughout the space.

    The Cabin is fully equipped with everything you might need, including a small kitchen and bbq to give you plenty of options to cook a meal using locally sourced ingredients from the farmers markets that operate throughout the area each weekend.
    .... a cosy space to sit infront of the fire, enjoy the incredible views across Wombat State Forest.
    .... a luxurious queen bed, made by Phoebe Everill, for a wonderful night's sleep
    .... a lovely deck to enjoy the sunrise with a coffee or enjoy a glass of wine in the evening.
    .... books and a SMART tv are availalbe to help keep you entertained or a walk down to the very large dam at the bottom of the property which you can also swim in.
    ... there is an abundance of wildlife on the property so bring bonoculars if you are interested in bird watching.

    Ironbark Cabin is very close to Glenlyon, a 10 minute drive where you can go to the General Store for brekky, lunch or a cocktail. You can also visit The Stables at Malmsbury for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

    Guest access
    Ironbark Cabin is self check-in.
    You have Ironbark Cabin all to yourself during your stay with a private yard, fire pit and onsite carpark.
    You are welcome to meander around the property which is directly infront of the Cabin.

    Thing to note:
    There is nothing nicer than sitting on the deck with a glass of local wine (provided) listening to nature and being present in the peace and tranquility that Ironbark Cabin offers.
    Ironbark Cabin is an ideal space for a couple. It has a beautiful wood fire for those cold nights and an air conditioner for the warmer months. Firewood is provided.
    We have 2 friendly dogs, Ollie the Border Collie and Max, a Kelpiex labrador. The love people. They don't venture into the fenced area of Ironbark Cabin.

This was a lovely break from the city for us. This cute cabin was beautifully clean and while compact was all the space we needed to relax and unwind. The check in was a breeze and the complimentary bottle of wine was lovely. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Perfect Getaway

Ironbark Cabin was the perfect getaway for myself and my partner, a cozy little space with beautiful views, the little bbq oven was perfect for making homemade pizzas, the complimentary items were so lovely. For such an amazing and peaceful little escape that also was not overpriced like so many other listings, we are recommending Ironbark cabin to everyone we know and it will be on our list of places to return to in the future.

Beautiful Retreat

This property was the perfect getaway from the hustle and grind of our everyday city life. The cabin contained everything we needed in terms of cooking facilities and we especially loved the fresh bread, eggs, home made jam and milk that Heather provided on arrival. Communication was prompt and the view was pure serenity. Would definately go back again.

QUIET RURAL GETAWAY

Lovely views across valley to distant ranges.Cosy open wood fire on cold winter nights. Would recommend couples. Not suitable for children as they would be easily bored by the serenity! Note from the main sealed road to the property is 1km of unsealed road.

Beautiful Property!

We had a wonderful stay at this property for the weekend. The cabin itself was very clean, comfortable and cozy. It turned quite cold the weekend we were there (goodbye summer), but we stayed plenty warm. There was a fire pit outside and a wood burning fireplace inside as well. After exploring the local area, we spent our evenings on the deck with a glass of wine, watching the bunnies and kangaroos in the paddock - so much serenity! Heather was an excellent host. Friendly and good communication. Would happily stay here again if we’re in the area.

Fantastic property

Loved our short stay at this wonderful property. Every conceivable small thing that could make it enjoyable was provided. Warm and comfy bed, wonderful wood file, beautiful fresh, warm bread. All utensils and cooking and cleaning things. Chocolates, coffee pods …. Wonderful communication. Fire was on when we arrived so it was warm and cosy. Clean and beautiful outlook with wombats, kangaroos and a fox. Highly recommended

Cosy, comfortable and unique

The cabin is cosy, comfortable and with a unique charm. I felt at ease when I walked through the door. With the fire going and knowing I had farm fresh eggs, fresh bread and homemade jam I did not need to leave. An amazing view, cows enjoying their hay and rabbits running around the paddock. Heather is a fantastic host and made sure I was happy. Restocking my firewood; giving me a great recommendation for a local cafe and introducing me to her two beautiful friendly dogs. It was perfect for a recharge weekend.

A beautiful place to re energise

What is not to like about this property? It's cosy, clean and well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The host was friendly and easy to contact but respected our privacy. Complimentary breakfast items and wine were provided along with fire wood and cooking staples. The bed was super comfortable. This place is in such a beautiful setting with an idyllic view over the valley. We sat for hours on the deck listening to the sounds of nature around us, watching the sun come up or the night slowly set in. A surprise bonus was we were lucky enough to watch the Aurora Australis turn the night sky to a riot of colour during the recent geomagnetic storm. All of these components made for a magical stay. We have already recommended Iron bark cabin to several friends and would love to return again soon. Thanks to Heather and family for creating this beautiful place.
