River House + Loft Lauriston | 5 Bedrooms | Sleeps 10

A Luxury Country Retreat with Private Pool, Tennis Court & River Frontage

Set across 1.5 acres of beautifully established gardens and peaceful country surrounds, River House + Loft is a private villa retreat offering space, comfort and relaxed luxury. Located just 8 minutes from Kyneton, 20 minutes from Daylesford and just over an hour from Melbourne, this exceptional property is ideal for family getaways, weekends with friends and restorative country escapes.

With a swimming pool, private tennis court, river frontage and multiple outdoor entertaining areas, there is plenty to enjoy without ever needing to leave. Spend your days by the pool, enjoy a game of tennis, gather for long alfresco lunches or simply unwind among the gardens. In-house catering can also be arranged, while the cafés and restaurants of Kyneton, Trentham and Daylesford are all within easy reach.

The Accommodation

Recently renovated and thoughtfully appointed, River House + Loft combines contemporary comforts with a welcoming country atmosphere. The open-plan kitchen, living and dining area forms the heart of the home, with generous space for everyone to come together and enjoy the beautiful outlook across the property and river.

The well-equipped kitchen has everything needed for relaxed entertaining, including ample crockery, cookware and utensils. During the warmer months, open the doors and enjoy seamless indoor-outdoor living, with dining space for up to 12 guests. In winter, gather around the wood fireplace for a cosy evening in.

Throughout the property, additional spaces offer room to retreat and relax, including the pool house and tennis pavilion – perfect for reading, enjoying a quiet moment or spending time together away from the main living areas.

Sleeping Arrangements:

The main house features a master bedroom with a king bed and private ensuite, along with two additional bedrooms serviced by a shared bathroom. A separate study provides further flexibility, with a queen-sized fold-out sofa and an additional powder room.

Adjacent to the main residence, the fully self-contained upstairs loft offers a private one-bedroom retreat with its own ensuite bathroom and lovely views across the gardens and river surrounds. It is an ideal space for couples or guests seeking a little extra privacy.

All bedrooms are beautifully furnished and appointed with hotel-quality linen, creating a comfortable and restful place to unwind.

Outdoor Living:

The property is framed by established hedges, mature trees and landscaped gardens, with plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors. Two alfresco dining areas provide the perfect setting for long lunches and evening gatherings, while the barbecue and wood-fired pizza oven make entertaining easy.

Take a refreshing dip in the swimming pool, enjoy a friendly match on the private tennis court or retreat to the separate pool house with a book or yoga mat. The tennis pavilion offers another welcoming space to relax between games.

Beyond the gardens, the surrounding landscape invites exploration. Set along a quiet country cul-de-sac, the property is close to neighbouring forest trails and a nearby reservoir, where you can enjoy the natural beauty and local wildlife, including native birdlife, kangaroos and echidnas. Guests can also enjoy walks along the river, with children requiring supervision at all times.

Explore the Region:

While River House + Loft offers every reason to stay in and enjoy its peaceful surrounds, the nearby towns of Kyneton, Trentham and Daylesford provide plenty to explore. Discover local cafés, acclaimed restaurants, boutique shops, galleries and the region's renowned food and wine experiences before returning to the privacy of your country retreat.

Whether you're planning a family gathering, a weekend with friends or a relaxing escape from the city, River House + Loft offers a wonderful balance of villa-style comfort, outdoor living and complete country tranquillity.
