Cousin Gilbert | 5 Bedrooms | 4 Bathrooms | Penthouse-style Living in the Heart of Daylesford

A remarkable property situated in the thriving heart of Daylesford. Cousin Gilbert is one of the few homes that truly manages to stand out amidst the plethora of gorgeous lodgings that Daylesford has on offer. From the spectacular pond and lush garden to the stylish interiors, Cousin Gilbert represents a slice of penthouse life tucked away in regional Victoria.

Cousin Gilbert's interior spaces are a cut above what can be expected of even the nicest country getaway. The home enjoys a unified design aesthetic, with dark furnishings providing a beautiful contrast against crisp white walls and luxurious carpet. Uniquely, it boasts two Kitchens and multiple Living and Dining areas. In the lounge, chic seating arrangements and a gas-log fireplace make for a cosy but sophisticated atmosphere. Iconic images from pop culture grace the walls in the form of paintings and prints, striking yet unobtrusive.

The adjoining dining area enjoys warmth from the same double-sided fireplace as the lounge. This room features an elegant glass table, and yet more beautiful artworks. Natural light filters in through large windows, both in the dining and living rooms. The sparkling clean kitchens come equipped with all the necessary appliances and are just as stylish as the rest of the home with sleek countertops and black tile splash-backs. There is a further Sitting Room with large screen television and a breakfast area.

Guests will find themselves smitten with the property's cosy bedrooms. These rooms are beautifully furnished, illuminated by natural light and feature beds with high quality mattresses. Some even have French doors that provide access to the exterior of the home.

Cousin Gilbert boasts one of the most spectacular garden and outdoor spaces of any property in the Daylesford region. A serene pond, smelling of fresh water and plants, lies between the house and a grove of established magnolia trees. The upper garden is surrounded by a high hedge, featuring a beautiful array of flowers and plants. The home also offers expansive outdoor spaces including an artificial grassed roof terrace furnished with seating and tables, utterly perfect for meals and entertaining at any time of day or night.

Ideally located in the centre of town, guests will find themselves perfectly situated to explore the cafes, restaurants, galleries and specialty stores of this cultural epicentre. Not to be forgotten, the natural splendour of country Victoria can be found on display at the Wombat Hill Botanic Garden, or along the banks of the placid lake Daylesford.

Those looking to Daylesford for a country retreat can do no better than to nestle in at Cousin Gilbert, where penthouse elegance meets the peace and quiet of regional Victoria.

Gloriously magnificent

5/5

I booked cousin Gilbert for my family and friends whilst in Daylesford for a wedding. The house was beautiful from the moment we arrived with heating on and soft music playing. Clean and comfortable and all the mod cons you could possibly require. The view of the sunset was splendid from the rooftop deck.I can only thoroughly recommend Cousin Gilbert from The Houses Daylesford.

Great stay

We had a great stay at Cousin Gilbert Daylesford. The house was very spacious for a large group and convenient as everything in town was walking distance from the house.

Great Stay!

5/5

The house was nice and very comfortable for 8 guests. The location was excellent!

Really wonderful location, such a roomy, classy and sophisticated place.

5/5

Having internal lockable doors to create a bit of privacy within your travelling party is a great idea. Well appointed on every level - this is sure to be a go-to place for us again in the future. Close to everything - we parked the car and that's where it stayed for just about the whole visit.

Spectacular Stay!

5/5

Exactly who Cousin Gilbert is, I still don't know. This house isn't your average Daylesford stay, its an experience. Polished yet cosy and location is very easy to access the heart of Daylesford ; restaurants and shops galore.

The property is so beautiful.

5/5

Lots of space and amazing location. There are lots of separate living areas , so a great property for a couple of families. Lane access to park 3 cars. Huge area outside at the front and tranquil gardens at the back. Can’t wait to stay there again.

We had an amazing long weekend at this place.

5/5

We had an amazing long weekend at this place. Having stayed at many Airbnb’s in Daylesford over the years, this one was definitely the best. It’s beautifully decorated and much larger than we expected. The weather was cooler than we were anticipating but the house stayed amazingly warm with the hydronic heating and the gas fireplace gave the place a warm homely feel.

An amazing pad perch above the main street.

5/5

An amazing pad perch above the main street. The house has everything you need and loads of space for a big group. Super comfy and clean. The weather wasn't great when we visited so we didn't get to make the most of the huge rooftop terrace - but there's always next time!

We had such a relaxing and incredible stay for our party of 10.

5/5

We had such a relaxing and incredible stay for our party of 10. We couldn't have expected anything better than what we walked into. Every room was beautifully furnished and the house was so cosy and welcoming. So peaceful and calming we actually forgot we were smack bang in the middle of town. Cannot recommend this property enough to anyone who wants to be wowed by the charm and charisma of this home. Thank you, for such a wonderful experience!
