Escape to Karlen’s Retreat - A Light-filled country hideaway perfect for up to six guests
The expansive entertainer's deck overlooks the fire pit and picturesque views across Doctors Gully, making it an ideal spot for long lunches, BBQ feasts, and leisurely sips of an Aperol Spritz or tea. Each bedroom has its own unique character: one king split and two queen beds create the perfect setting for couples, friends, and families alike. Wall-mounted fans keep things cool in summer, while heating throughout ensures a cosy atmosphere in winter.
The heart of Karlen’s Retreat is the bright kitchen and dining area, with windows framing lush views of mature trees and gardens. A large dining table invites everyone to come together over meals, and a super-comfy lounge makes it easy to unwind. Whether you choose to disconnect from the world and enjoy each other’s company or settle in for a Netflix marathon over WiFi, the ambience is warm and inviting. A wood fire in the kitchen/living area adds an extra cosy touch for those cooler months.
A meaningful name to its owners, Karlen’s Retreat radiates personal touches and love in every corner. Relax, settle in, and experience the charm of this lovely Daylesford home.
