About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Capannone, a one BR country cottage. Perfect getaway.

Peaceful, private and picturesque, one of two on five acres of land. Set in the very small hamlet of Basalt just outside of Daylesford/Hepburn Springs, with it's rolling hills and country quiet. The perfect getaway for a romantic weekend or time out from a busy life. Wake up to bird calls and maybe grazing kangaroos or have a wine or coffee and enjoy the stars before slipping off to sleep.
All equipment required for a stay-in break is available as well as the basic salt, pepper and milk for your coffee or tea. Also an assortment of dvd's for your entertainment. Connectivity at The Capannone is not the greatest so it truly is a switch off venue.
The Capannone's close proximity to the boutique towns of Daylesford and Hepburn Springs and all they have to offer as far as gastronomic experiences with restaurants, wineries and markets and also the health and wellness tradition, extends a host of alternative activities and award wining dining and wine experiences.
Also, further afield the historic Goldfields area is on your doorstep to explore.

Weekend to relax and explore the area

Host was amazing. Great communications. Made sure we were comfortable and welcomed, but otherwise stayed out of the way, but was always available if needed.The area is close enough to Hepburn and Daylesford that it felt part of the community there, but out of the way enough to keep away from the hustle and bustle.Just the way we like it.

Great little hideaway.

The cottage was tucked away in Basalt with a lot of privacy. Great chance for my husband and I to relax and unwind. The cottage was very clean, quiet and comfortable would highly recommend a night away at Cappanone.

Daylesford Perfect New Year Stay

I really had a terrific time at this property in Daylesford. It was a beautiful location and the property itself was absolutely perfect in every way. I couldn't recommend they place more highly. It is ideal for a single person like myself, a couple, or a small group. I will most definitely be returning.
