Absolutely loved our stay at Saturna— a fantastic retreat within walking distance to Daylesford’s Main Street. The hot tub was a welcome sight at the end of a day of bushwalking, while kitchen was large and well laid out for prepping meals. The spiral staircase up to the loft is glorious, as are the many details throughout the house. Cherie was an exceptionally helpful host, and communication was always quick and clear. Will definitely be back in future!

Tranquil getaway

An excellent weekend away with another couple. We enjoyed the spa which was already set and stayed hot so we could get in morning and night. The outdoor area was great for board games and the house was comfortable. I’d stay here again.

It was much smaller than photos gave the impression. Spa was good, beds comfortable. Some lights were not working Not enough firewood for 2 nights and a bit chilly. An animal at some chocolate left on the bench. I have a photo if you'd like to see.

A place to get your creative juices flowing

A wonderful quaint mud brick abode with gorgeous stain glass windows, creative garden sculptures, the lovely warm spa, and the lofted bedroom , the perfect setting for a relaxing getaway. It was a hassle free experience from start to finish, would highly recommend a stay here, will definitely be coming back. I wish it was for sale 😉

Great place to stay in Daylesford

We loved the location of Saturna and how cool the house was over a hot period of time in summer. The Mill Markets are just over the road and there are lovely and peaceful bush surrounds.

Heaven in the Hills

Thank you for creating this amazing place. I have been coming to the region for over 20 yrs and this is the best. Relaxed, beautiful so wonderfully appointed but not uptight.The stimulating artwork and garden art at every turn was wonderful. Squee moments everywhere. ;) Great location too! I have one thing to request.......could you put a little book of the history of this house and the amazing artists for a read along with the guest book as I really would love to read on my next stay by the fire. Thank you for a wonderful place.

Very Cosy - but..................

We very much enjoyed our stay in this quaint and cosy little cabin. Our time on the deck and in the spa were great fun!! The one short coming of the property is it's location, and this is not mentioned anywhere in the description. It sit right above the main road and is quite nosy. If this is of no concern you will thoroughly you your time here, if it does.............

AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL RETREAT

The property was absolutely gorgeous inside and out. Perfect design for a romantic retreat, with lush gardens, hot tub and loft bedroom. We took our 2 children (3 yrs and 1 yrs) who loved sleeping together in the lounge room. We were very impressed with the artwork displayed both inside and out of the property, it created a fabulous atmosphere but was still relatively child friendly. Our kids enjoyed mastering the spiral staircase and discovering the hidden artworks in the garden and we enjoyed lounging in the spa each night or watching movies on the flat screen in the loft bedroom whilst the kids napped. If you are looking for a place to stay that is more than just a house, then this is the place for you.
