Arinya Retreat Daylesford

Arinya Retreat is an architecturally eco-friendly designed home constructed of rammed earth. Nestled down an unsealed dirt track in the Hepburn Regional Park Daylesford set amongst a sincere private landscape.

The retreat is only a 10-minute drive from Daylesford and Hepburn Springs enabling our guests to truly immerse themselves in a health and wellbeing stay. Arinya is an ideal destination for a tranquil retreat with friends or family.

Compliment your stay with a In -house massage, a natural therapy, bathe in the jetted tub, spoil yourselves with an indulgent private dinner or take a stroll to one of the many nature walks, especially to the mineral spring area on the property.

We offer two king-size bedrooms, one queen bedroom with an extra king single bed, and one twin bedroom with an additional trundle bed sleeping up to 10 guests.

Really good stay Entrance to the venue was a little off road driving which was never specified on booking. Very poor internet which could make it difficult for families which love there devices. Otherwise very happy with everything else 👍

Perfect place for a kid free girls getaway. Damien gave us a friendly welcome and then gave us complete privacy. The house was clean, very comfortable and we appreciated the hamper and wine! We took advantage of the fireplace and loved the space and tranquility. We will be back!

The pictures don’t do it justice, incredibly relaxing, and calm environment. Fantastic for a weekend away. Damien, the manager was incredibly helpful with suggesting places to eat and see, and also in home care, organizing spa treatments, and also preparing a fire for people who cannot start themselves. lol cannot wait to return!

Great place to stay with a small group
We loved our stay at Arinya Retreat. My only regret is that we didn’t take advantage of being able to book a massage at the house. Well furnished house with great kitchen facilities. Could do with a couple of larger pots for cooking for a group of 6 or more. Would stay there again for sure.

Daylesford weekend
Arrived Friday, everything perfect, cleanliness well above average, beautiful property, relaxing and plenty of space with the 2 living areas. We came up to Daylesford for a day spa and booked a couple of restaurants in town. Got a Taxi in to town and out both nights. Taxi driver Sam was fantastic. It is an absolute hidden gem.

Peaceful paradise
I can't say enough good things about Arinya. The assistance and communication from Damien, the property manager, prior to our stay was timely and excellent, and on request he organised local masseuses to come to the property and provide wonderful massages for us onsite. The property itself is fabulous - beautifully designed and fitted out with everything you need and more. It has large rooms, great heating, beautiful views out to the Daylesford countryside, a generous welcome pack and more. The house is 15 mins from Daylesford, and we enjoyed ensconcing ourselves away from everything, going on walks and cooking and eating lovely food. Highly recommended.

A delightful weekend away for a country getaway. The house is so clean and comfortable. It was so toasty warm too, we definitely took advantage of the open fire place. Loved watching all the wildlife and the peacefulness of the place. Batteries are well and truly recharged.

Arinya retreat
Wonderful accommodation with very friendly and helpful host, Damien. Three beautiful bedrooms that we saw, one we didn’t…with two of the most incredible bathrooms. We’ll definitely be back later in the year. Had a lovely relaxing time. Made use of the day spa, we all received treatments. Mine was awesome and the other ladies agreed so were there’s. A very relaxing time for all of us. Thank you for a wonderful stay Damien!

Absolutely beautiful!
What a fabulous place to get away from it all. It has every amenity you could possibly wish for - 3 ways to make coffee for a start! We were two couples travelling together and the only thing that I would have changed (and my fault for not taking up Damien's offer) would have been opening up the full house so we could have had a bathroom each. We will definitely be back!

Perfect Getaway in a Beautiful Home!!
The home is as beautiful as shown in the photos and I highly recommend this retreat if you are looking for a getaway with friends. Everything went smoothly from the initial booking and Damien is an amazing and accommodating host. The home is set out so perfectly, one end of the house has two bedrooms with a separate bathroom, and the other end of the home also has two bedrooms with another bathroom. The bathrooms are not ensuites which was exactly what we were looking for as there was a group of us staying at the property, so we didn't want to go through other people's rooms to get to one of the bathrooms. The kitchen is large and well stocked with everything you need, including a beautiful hamper with some amazing treats. The views from the kitchen window is amazing and you felt a million miles away from civilization, even though we were only a ten minute drive from town. The beds were super comfy and the huge spa in one of the bathrooms was fantastic. A stay here is a must!!!

This property was gorgeous, such an amazing and secluded spot if you’re looking for somewhere to wind down for a weekend, the house itself is beautiful, beds are super comfy and such a spacious bathroom! It was so relaxing sitting out on the deck with a glass of wine at sunset watching the kangaroos, also had the cutest little visitor now and again (the most gorgeous cat 😍) Damien is awesome! super easy to get a hold of and so so friendly! I 100% recommend the Arinya Retreat :)
