House rules
This place isn’t suitable for children under 12 and the host doesn’t allow pets, parties, or smoking.
Daylesford Longhouse is a place of residence, working farm and cooking school – all in one. While most houses provide a sense of retreat from the outside world, Daylesford Longhouse brings the outside in, allowing guests to enjoy both the farm life and the comfort of a home.
Drawing inspiration from River Cottage and the 70’s series ‘The Good Life’, Daylesford Longhouse is the culmination of owners Trace and Ronnen’s passion for food & cooking, animal husbandry, gardening and self-sufficiency.
The space
The Space:
Daylesford Longhouse is composed of living quarters, a garden kitchen and a working farm building – all within one, long shed structure. The house is not your usual weekender – it has been designed for living, working, storing and making. It is intentionally active and demands constant care and attention from owners Trace & Ronnen, be it milking a cow, making cheese or pruning a tree. It is a place that takes you back to the fundamentals of living.
The living quarters, located above the garden kitchen, include the fully-furnished bedrooms, a kitchen and dining space that accommodates up to 4 guests. Guests are free to enjoy the lounge area, the sauna, the six-foot clawfoot bathtub and the outdoor bathroom. Guests can treat themselves to a bird-eye’s view of the house from the viewing platform or stay indoors and watch Netflix on our fully-integrated smart TV. Wood-fire heating and electric blankets are available year-round. Luxuries include fine bed linen from IN BED store and Aesop body products. A Nespresso machine and Nespresso pods will be provided, along with Free WiFi.
Bedroom 1: 1x Queen
Bedroom 2: 1x Queen
Sleeping Nook
You have your own private Kitchen with all appliances and Zinc bench top. The Kitchenaid mixer, Smeg cook-top and oven, Arabia Ruska ceramics and cooking utensils that will satisfy your desire to cook with the produce in the Daylesford region. The pantry will be stocked with kitchen essentials (flour, oil etc) and basic breakfast provisions (milk, butter, jam, bread, eggs) upon your arrival.
The working farm is home to dogs, cows, pigs, hens and goats, and is constantly being tended to by Trace & Ronnen. Guests are welcome to a tour of the farm and the Longhouse during their visit, just as us and we will tee-up a time with you..
The Location:
Set minutes from the idyllic town of Daylesford in central Victoria, the elevated property looks out over vast plains and bushland across Daylesford, Hepburn Springs and Mt Franklin.

Australia's leading spa and wellness destination, with quirky pubs and high class eateries. You’ll know it when you’re here. A stunning tribute to days of old, scattered with vibrance, texture and charm, Hepburn Springs Village is a destination that should be experienced… slowly.Village life has a rhythm and a heartbeat all of its own. From the hand made bush walkin’ sticks and historic buildings to the amazing dining options and natural mineral springs and spas, Hepburn Springs Village is sure to leave you with a smile.
Darling Daylesford and historic Hepburn offer a variety of restaurants and dining options, from quaint cafés and quirky pubs to themed eateries and hatted, starred and award-winning fine dining. And here, you’re encouraged to indulge, so its easy to work up an appetite (and work off the calories), where beautiful gardens, spectacular bushland, rugged trails and welcoming farm gates invite you to walk, hike and exercise your way to a well-deserved meal. So dress up or down, sit down to white linen or a more casual setting, dine by the lake or by the fire. At our favourite local eateries, fine wines, local produce and fresh seasonal fare are all on the menu. We’re also happy to recommend some of our preferred area wineries, including Hanging Rock Winery, Gisborne Peak Winery, Bacchus Hill Winery and the Ellender Estate.
