The Garden Retreat

02/09/2026

A little update from me…

Unfortunately, I’ll be travelling for the next 12 months to spend some much-needed time with my family, so the Garden Retreat will be unavailable during this period.

Instead, I’ll be renting out my beautiful three-bedroom home in central Daylesford for approximately 12 months.

Thank you so much to everyone who has stayed at the retreat and supported me—it has been an absolute pleasure welcoming you. I hope to reopen the retreat when I return and welcome guests back once again.

If you or someone you know may be interested in renting the main house, please send me a private message for further information (the retreat will be locked up while I’m away as I will use it as my storage room whilst in Scotland. 🤍

✨ Winter in Daylesford… it’s a whole mood. ✨

Picture this…

🔥 A crackling fire.
💦 A steaming spa beneath the stars.
🍸 A handcrafted gin from Daylesford Spirit.
🛏️ A beautifully warm retreat all to yourself.

Some of our guests don’t settle for just a G&T… they ask for a whole bottle waiting for them on arrival. And honestly… we completely understand. 😉

At The Garden Retreat, we love creating those little moments that turn a weekend away into something unforgettable. Whether it’s a local gin, your favourite wine, or special treats ready for your arrival, we’re happy to help make your stay feel just that little bit more indulgent.

Winter is when Daylesford truly shines. Misty mornings, cosy cafés, long lunches, hot mineral springs, and then back to your own private retreat for a soak in the spa and a drink by the fire.

If you’ve been thinking about escaping … this is your sign 🙏
The Garden Retreat, Daylesford
Your cosy winter escape is waiting.
