Little Wombat Summary

Summary:
Discover Little Wombat in Daylesford, your serene hideaway. Relax in a spa bath, charge your EV hassle-free, and savour a botanical garden setting. Modern comforts meet tranquil beauty for an unforgettable escape.

The Space:
Evoking the charm of a sophisticated Parisian garden retreat, Little Wombat presents itself as a beautifully furnished Australian miner's cottage from the 1860s, offering a serene sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of urban life. Little Wombat enjoys a prime location nestled within the Wombat Hill Botanical Gardens, granting sweeping panoramic views of the breathtaking Daylesford landscape.

The cottage's ambiance mirrors that of a graceful Parisian haven, boasting meticulous styling and furnishings that exude warmth and invitation. A meticulously designed Australian miner's cottage, dating back to the 1860s, it provides an ideal retreat for a countryside escape.

The residence comprises two cosy bedrooms, a modern and stylish kitchen/dining area, a snug and welcoming sitting room, and a spacious, contemporary bathroom featuring a luxurious two-person spa and an inviting walk-in shower.

The cottage's frontage takes full advantage of the ever-evolving vistas spanning across Daylesford, while the rear aspect gazes directly at the Botanical Gardens through the garden and courtyard, perfect for unwinding and savouring a drink alongside your favourite book.

The Neighborhood:
Nestled along the pathway leading to the year-round splendour of Wombat Hill Botanical Gardens, Little Wombat provides easy access to the divine Wombat Hill café. The gardens beckon with their tranquil allure, inviting leisurely strolls culminating in indulgent pastries and coffees.

A scenic walk from the gardens leads to the renowned Convent Gallery. Additionally, the cottage sits in close proximity to Daylesford's main thoroughfare, the starting point of your Daylesford adventure, showcasing an array of boutique shops, collector havens, art galleries, and the celebrated Paradise bookshop. For dining options, explore local country pubs, charming cafes, and exceptional restaurants.

Little Wombat a cosy place to stay
A beautiful cosy cottage in a very quiet area with the stunning Wombat Hill botanic gardens at the back fence. Lovely gas log fire and big spa bath. Highly recommended.

Cute
Very comfortable. Cottage is smaller then looks in photos. The Shower taps are confusing. The Steep hill, parking and distance from the main street is a challenge but the upside is its amazing location to Convent Gallery and backing onto Wombat Gardens.
