AS Featured IN Country Style Magazine December 2022

Nestled in a peaceful corner between Daylesford and Trentham, Phoebe’s Cottage offers a charming escape where time seems to slow down. This two-bedroom, two-bathroom country retreat is set on half an acre of picturesque cottage gardens in the rural village of Lyonville. Built in 1875 as part of the early timber milling settlement, the cottage has a rich history, having been home to its namesake Phoebe Elliott and her young family. Passed down through generations of local owners for over 145 years, the cottage now serves as a magical place to unwind and embrace the changing seasons.

Lovingly restored, Phoebe’s Cottage captures the enchanting charm of the past while providing modern comforts for a truly indulgent experience. Styled by Belle Hemming from Belle Bright Project, the interiors feature original cottage elements combined with curated vintage pieces and quality contemporary finishes. The result is a moody, inviting atmosphere with warm, cozy spaces that make every stay memorable. Guests can enjoy the ambient warmth of the wood heater, relax in the cast iron claw-foot bath, and sink into luxuriously comfortable beds, while modern amenities such as air conditioning, Wi-Fi, a coffee machine, and a well-equipped kitchen ensure convenience.

Outside, the garden reflects the unique climate of Lyonville, with established trees, views of Mount Babbington, and the nearby Wombat Forest providing a stunning backdrop. In the summer, guests can relax on the sun-drenched lawns, seek shade under the walnut trees, or enjoy lawn games and afternoon drinks. The garden’s charm makes it the perfect spot to unwind and connect with nature, offering a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle.

A stroll through Lyonville reveals shady lanes, local market stalls, and the iconic Radio Springs Hotel, while the surrounding bushland invites exploration. End your day with a long bath and a glass of red by the fire, embracing the unhurried pace of life that Phoebe’s Cottage embodies. It’s the ideal setting for a memorable stay, where the beauty of the Daylesford and Macedon regions can be savoured at leisure.
