Lie in bed at night and gaze at the stars in the heavens above through the moon window over the master bed.

Amazing place to relax and see Daylesford and surrounds

We went as a family of 6 (including grandparents and kids). Really nice house and amazing setting. Kangaroos and kookaburras appear in the backyard on a nightly basis and we spent most nights on the veranda. Very comfortable set up and everything you need. Geoff was great to deal with and super helpful. Would book again no problem.

Secluded Serene

From the time we booked till we left the house the entire process was exceptionally smooth. Geoff has been very welcoming, friendly and with a lot of tips on the locality. We enjoyed staying in the house and will likely return in future.

A DREAM!

I genuinely don’t even think I have the words to describe how magical this house is. Not only is it beautiful, but the attention to detail in everything made the entire experience hands down one of my most memorable ones in years. We definitely will be back many many more times!

About the host

Hosted by Geoffrey Gedge

For the last 12 years I have had a passion for delivering guests the best possible experience they can have when away from home. We all spend too much time working and don't want to waste our time or money when we want to get away from it all. Hopefully, you will feel that our properties in Hepburn Springs not only give you real value for money but also make your time away memorable.

Why they chose this property

Bluegums is quite unique in that it is built mainly from recycled materials. The main structure of the house is built from reclaimed bluestone and sandstone from an old bridge in Ballarat. The house has been refitted to be as eco-friendly as possible without compromising on luxury.
