“It was lovely walking into the room with the heater on, ambient music playing and a lovely aroma in the air. The room was really nice and clean. My only niggle was the bed was a little hard for me. The location was very central for exploring. I would definitely recommend it to others.”
“Overall, our stay was okay, mainly because the location was excellent. Everything we needed was within walking distance, which made getting around really easy.
There were a few things that let the room down, though. We had booked a room with a king bed, but it was actually two single beds pushed together, which made the bed feel uneven and uncomfortable. The bathroom also had some maintenance issues; water was dripping while showering and even when using the hand basin tap. Another issue was...
“It was an unpleasant experience at the hotel. In the end, we decided not to stay the night we paid for due to the terrible service. The room was very cold, and the heater did not work. We will not go back again.”
“This motel is 5 star! Beautifully modernised and renovated, tastefully decorated with class and style. This isn't your average "this will do" basic room; this place is quality, comfortable, intentional, welcoming and pretty. It's the kind of room that you feel kind of sad to leave.
The receptionist Sam was helpful and considerate, and we loved every minute of our stay here. If ever I have reason to stay in Daylesford, the Art Motel will be my first preference! Can't rate it high enough!”
“It felt like staying at a friend’s house, but with enough space you could escape.
We loved the extra touches such as the open fire pits to make s’mores and the pool room.”
“We were looking forward to a spa bath. But the bath looked too dirty to use. No powerpints in bathroom. Bathroom & toilet fans, obviously too old, as they sounded like helicopters. Beds comfy & rest ok. Also we left an item behind, sentvtext to owner, got no reply. No impressed.”
“Orchard Cottage was a lovely stay- it was bright and airy. The cottage has two generous sized bedrooms and living area plus a large bathroom with 2 showers and spa. The grounds are amazing to walk around. And it is not too far from Castlemaine.”
“I would have preferred an option to sleep on a western style bed due to my age
[80 yrs] and not on a traditional floor setting otherwise my stay was a delight.
