Arinya Retreat Daylesford

I simply can’t recommend Arinya enough. Damien was very helpful preparing for my stay. The retreat is so quiet and tranquil but only 10mins from town. All the little details are there and more. Comfortable bed, couches etc.luxury linen. Good water pressure and a spa. Lots of little helpful things that you might forget (like matches or kitchen supplies etc). It is definitely as pictured (or better). 12 hours in and it was like the entire world didn’t exist, I haven’t been this relaxed in years. My only regret is that I didn’t stay longer. Damien also recommended two amazing masseurs and the boomerang riding ranch which were fantastic. The visit from the local kangaroos, birds and puddy the cat were nice bonuses. Perfect for a romantic weekend escape or small group. I simply must come back asap!

What an amazing retreat! Whilst a quick 10 mins from the centre of Daylesford, you feel like you are miles from everything. Beautifully quiet, luxury linens, an open fire and you can watch the kangaroos grazing from the bedroom and balcony. All topped off with hosts who are focussed on ensuring you have everything you need (and even provide wine on arrival).

Couldn't recommend Arinya Retreat highly enough!

A must stay. Absolutely beautiful I would strongly recommend Arinya Retreat. The house is amazing with beautiful decor and there really is nothing that I can think of that is not catered for. On arrival Damian showed us around and even had considered the coming cold spell and set the heater to come on so we where very comfortable. The views, serenity, wild life and tranquility is perfect makes for a most relaxing holiday. Definatley would return and recommend to anyone looking for a great escape.

An amazing property in Daylesford - would heavily recommend anyone to visit and perfect for the dogs too. We had such an amazing time and would definitely visit again!

This was our third stay and definitely won't be the last. Beautiful grounds, relaxing environment, exceptionally clean accommodation and a great host.

This property is magnificent! Situated just out of town, you can really get a sense of relaxation everywhere you turn. Couples, families, groups, this place can cater for anyone! There's even a nature walk on the property that takes you down to a great natural spring rock pool, no doubt refreshing during the summer months. We'll be back!

Beautiful location and quality venue. Damian was a lovely host and had a fire burning for our arrival. He greeted us with an offer for a fresh brewed coffee or glass of wine. Kangaroos and Bunnies frequent the property and the gorgeous Puddy was on hand for a rub and soft purr. Highly recommended.

Oh wow, what a joy to have found your beautiful retreat. We really needed this tranquil space and everthing we could have ever wanted was provided by Damien such a great host.
We will certainly return as soon as we can, the special treat on arrival made it feel like home.
