Guest Testimonials

  • "Greenleaf was a beautifully designed, luxuriously comfortable stay. It was so much more than a ‘home away from home’! We stayed a week but could have easily stayed a month! From the gorgeous tranquil gardens, with kookaburras, cockatoos & even an owl, to the beautiful creature comforts of the open fire place, hot tub, gorgeous linen & beds & deep soak bath tub to the incredibly curated decor & cooks dream of a kitchen! The architecturally designed windows even ensured you could see the sky & stars at night! We really loved our stay, the walks to the lake, the closeness of the cafes & restaurants. Everything was very thoughtful, all designed to ensure your stay was relaxing, rejuvenating & restorative. Thanks to Danny & Nick & Karl for looking after us, we will be back and recommending you to everyone we know!"

  • "I’ve stayed here before and certainly plan on staying again. The whole place is just beautiful. The house is well designed and spacious, the garden is lush and relaxing (and boasting a lovely spa and fire pit). The furnishings, fittings and bedding are all lux and very comfortable. The house is very well situated; maintaining the feeling of being in the countryside, but with the centre of Daylesford only a short walk away and some cafes/restaurants even closer. The hosts are easily contactable and very helpful."

  • "My first reaction when I entered this home was ‘WOW’. The website pictures are accurate but don’t do the house justice. The furnishings are gorgeous and personal touches offered by the host are evident throughout the house. For example: there is beautiful artwork throughout the home, high quality surround sound system, ducted cooling with fully adjusted temperatures for each room. There’s a picnic hamper & blanket in the laundry available for guest use. The kitchen is stocked with spices, sauces, a great range of cooking utensils, glasses (including my favourite martini glasses in the bar) and a gorgeous selection of platters. Here’s a lunch spread using their platters. The spa & outdoor entertaining area were fabulous and the immaculate garden provided beautiful views. The house is only a short 6 minute walk to the lake which we swam in most days. The town is only 5 mins drive away or 25 minutes walk. This home is seriously beautiful!! We will definitely be back.

  • "Greenleaf is exactly as described and seen in the pictures. Right from arriving it feels like home, and it's the little things as much as the big things that make the stay. The information about all the elements of the house was perfect to be able to get up and running as soon as we entered. The views from the house across the gardens and beyond made for a very relaxing weekend for enjoying inside when it was cold and wet and appreciating the area when it was sunny. The setup of the house too makes it perfect for groups as well. Daniel was able to provide great suggestions about the area specific to our needs which was a great help too. Would highly recommend anyone looking for a special getaway in Daylesford be it to just sit back and relax or use as a central hub to investigate the area and come back to at the end of the day."

  • "A beautiful home, wonderfully provisioned for a relaxing stay. The home is almost new and has generous spaces to cook and relax. We loved the outdoor spa, the peaceful locale and the gorgeous landscaped garden. A truly lovely weekend break."

  • “We had a lovely stay! The house is even better than the photos - super luxe - and the hosts have taken a lot of care with the interiors and with the amenities. The beds are so comfortable and the kitchen is kitted-out. The view of the surrounding bush is beautiful. It’s about a 4-5 min drive into town, or a half-hour walk and the lake is a short stroll away. We loved the location as it was super quiet and we love walking! When we weren’t chasing our baby around, it was such a nice place to relax in - and we loved cooking, sitting around the fire, sitting in the jacuzzi under the stars or kicking back and watching a movie. Thanks for a lovely stay.”

  • "Had a relaxing stay at Daniels house. It’s so well appointed and stocked. Loved coming home from a day of exploring the region to a cozy fire or jacuzzi. Terrific location near the lake and main town centre. Would love to stay here again!"
