Absolutely gorgeous

What a fabulous place this is! We stayed in Stuart’s Cabin for 2 nights, our host Andrew could not have been more welcoming. We were greeted with soft jazz playing and a roaring fire.. warm, freshly baked bread and fridge full of yummy treats. The cabin is beautifully decorated with a rustic charm and everything you could possibly need for a relaxing stay. The linen is fresh and crisp and the L’Occitane toiletries are 5 star. The breakfast hamper was tailored to our dietary needs and we felt truly spoilt. Andrew recommended and booked fabulous locations for our dinners and offered advice on where to go and what to see in the area. Each morning we awoke to kangaroos and alpacas feeding outside the cabin. The bird life is fantastic to see. Our only complaint was having to leave.. this property is highly recommended by us and we look forward to returning soon.

Relaxing, beautiful, friendly country retreat

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Braeside. The accommodation was comfortable and beautifully set out in a lovely garden setting. Andrew was incredibly helpful with great tips for where to visit and good driving routes. The breakfast provisions were very generous and excellent quality - fresh eggs, bacon/smoked salmon, freshly baked bread etc. We liked being able to cook this ourselves each morning when we felt ready to eat breakfast. Great to have a wood fire as well as electric heater to keep us toasty warm. All in all a wonderful place to stay and have a relaxing country get away!

Great private get-away

The Braeside Country Retreat is tucked away in a lovely area surrounded by trees, fields and lots of animals and birds. The accommodations and the breakfast goodies provided were top notch. Fresh baked bread, recently laid eggs , bacon - just wonderful. The area is only a few minutes drive to many of the sights around Mt. Macedon, including gardens, wineries and the lovely trees in autumn colours. Also, Hanging Rock Reserve is only a short drive up the road. We would love to come back in spring to see the flowers.

Its time to recharge in Mt Macedon

We selected Braeside for our annual girls weekend and it did not disappoint. We were looking for a hideaway and yet we wanted to walk into the village for a good coffee (thanks Trading Post!). We were met by Andrew 'The Consummate Host. Certainly made us feel at home, ensuring we had all we needed for our stay whilst respecting our privacy. Couldn't ask for more. A paradise for awakening your creative side so bring your paint and books. But dont forget your hiking books as there are trails to suit all levels.

Kangaroos in your garden

Amazing stay in beautiful Mountain surrounds with Kangaroos and every bird you care to think of as you sit in a lovely cottage amidst huge shady trees and traditional herbaceous borders. If you are an artist, don’t forget to pack your sketch pad. If you're visiting from overseas make sure you include a stay here on your itinerary. can’t wait to return. Oh yes - Andrew’s freshly baked bread is delicious.

An outstanding B&B - with an exceptional host

This is a great place to unwind, recharge and spend time exploring the Macedon and surrounding regions. We had a wonderful four nights - Andrew was an exceptional host. Fresh bread and other provisions - the salmon and feta were very special - made the experience so memorable. The location is outstanding - nestled in gardens that must be magnificent when in bloom. The warmth of the hospitality on offer, and the comfort of the cottage, made it very difficult to leave. We will be back!

Wonderful garden setting

Our cottage was not only wonderful inside with comfy chairs and cosy fire, it had a spectacular setting in a beautiful garden alive with all the Autumn colour we went to Macedon to see. There is so much else to do the area. Villages and towns to explore, eat and shop. And markets to do more of the same. And then there are the wineries to visit, taste and buy magnificent Victorian cool climate wines
