Perfect escape and retreat

Just returned from a perfect 2-night getaway at this lovely retreat. The wood fire was absolutely divine and created such a cozy atmosphere. The spaces throughout the property were beautifully designed and perfectly suited our needs.We were so comfortable with our sewcation (yes we spend the entire weekend inside sewing) that we didn't even venture out to explore - the property was self catering so we had everything we wanted for a stress free sewing weekend away.Would definitely book again and highly recommend to anyone seeking a peaceful retreat in Daylesford. Thank you for a memorable stay!

Birthday celebration with friends

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this retreat! Despite the rainy weather, the weekend inside with friends was still beautiful and incredibly enjoyable. The place was not only stunning but also incredibly stylish, with artwork that added to the charm. The spa bath was perfect for relaxation, and the views were breathtaking and lots of kangaroos to spot. The well-stocked kitchen made meal preparation easy, and the bed with its soft sheets was extremely comfortable. I appreciated the attention to detail throughout the home, including the cozy fireplace that provided a warm atmosphere. The host was friendly and approachable, enhancing the overall experience. Plus, the Smart TV with Netflix was a great bonus for unwinding in the evenings. Overall, this was a truly relaxing and memorable stay. Highly recommended!

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.

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.

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!
