Daylesford Art Motel

Beautifully appointed rooms with all the amenities you could possibly need! Very comfortable king size bed & walking distance to Farmers Arms Hotel. Definitely value for money. Nespresso machine, complimentary bar snacks and lovely bathroom products.

Great place to stay for over night/weekend. Rooms are large with great facilities. Very clean and well maintained. Little bistro table and chairs outside room for added extra. Pub/ hotel across the way serving food. Easy access into the centre of Daylesford.

Very attractively decorated room and bathroom. Very comfortable bed and pillows. Even though this is a self check in motel, the service was great. I had not received the email with check in details so I called the day before our arrival. Got someone on the phone right away and they quickly sorted everything. Loved the extra perk of free drinks and snacks (I think they were free, haven't seen a charge on our bill yet ;-). Lots of great amenities, wonderful bathroom with really nice products. The only downside is that there was no closet or drawers (could have been a problem if staying more than a night or two) and there was no extra blanket, pillows or towels. Since the guest services close at 5 PM there was no one to ask for these or other things we may need. The heater was ok and the bedding warm enough, luckily, on the cold and rainy night we stayed. But I did need an extra towel. In this kind of self check in situation, extra things should be provided for. But otherwise we really did like the place and would stay again (now that we know what to request in advance!)

There is no hot water in our room on two of the days of our stay. We had to complain about it and somehow the problem was fixed....temporarily at least. There was no wardrobe in which to hang our the only hanger provided was probably designed as a coat rack The room looked and felt like we were in transit to somewhere better. The fridge had no ice compartment and so no drinking was available within the room without our begging for ice from nearby hotels. The TV screen was permanently fixed facing the bed but does not tilt towards the sofa so the only way that you could watch TV comfortably was when you're in bed!. Really a totally substandard experience after paying $1250 for 4 night stay. Daylesford deserves better than this Staying here does you no favour when wishing to eat across the street at The Farmer's Arms.
