Montacute Pavilion and Gardens - Daylesford

Montacute Pavilion is a unique and enchanting retreat tucked away among ancient chestnut trees in an historic garden near the Wombat Hill Botanical Gardens. Just a leisurely stroll from charming shops and cafés, this romantic hideaway was thoughtfully designed for couples seeking indulgence and privacy. The entire upper floor is dedicated to a spacious treetop bedroom and a beautifully appointed bathroom — perfect for minimoons, wedding nights, or unforgettable proposals.

Young families love the layout too: parents can relax upstairs while children enjoy the spacious garden below. It’s equally ideal for two couples or friends celebrating a special birthday or anniversary in style.

Set within one of Daylesford’s most treasured gardens, dating back to the 1890s and lovingly enhanced since 2000, Montacute Pavilion offers something magical in every season. Spring brings a dazzling display of daffodils, bluebells, rhododendrons, and camellias; in summer, the grand trees create a leafy, shaded sanctuary; autumn is mellow and golden; and in winter, you can curl up on cosy sofas by the gas log fires, looking out over the tranquil landscape.

Inspired by classic English country houses, the interior blends antique charm with modern comfort. Stay warm in winter and cool in summer with gas log fires on both levels and split system heating and cooling in every room. Downstairs you’ll find a fully equipped kitchen and sitting room, plus a second king-size/twin bedroom with ensuite. Enjoy off-street parking, flat-screen TVs with Netflix, luxury Grown Alchemist toiletries, a welcome hamper of regional treats, and a complimentary bottle of Passing Clouds’ ‘Graeme’s Blend’ Shiraz — all included to make your stay truly special.
