The first positive about this motel is its central location. You can walk from the motel to the main area of Daylesford within minutes. Upon arrival, the customer service was friendly and helpful. Our room was one with a spa, a microwave, small kitchenette, a very comfortable bed, a couch, really beautiful towels…….it was in many ways an old fashioned country motel, but it’s done well. A previous guest had forgotten to log out of their Netflix, so we got to watch that too! We were stunned that you could order a continental breakfast, delivered to your room, for $10 a person. Probably the cheapest breakfast in all of Daylesford and we now regret not ordering it. The only thing that we found uncomfortable was that outside each room was a table with 2 chairs, and each table had an ashtray on it. The people in the room next to us were very heavy smokers and the smell of the smoke was seeping into our room, both throughout the night and in the early morning too. Our request to the motel would be to ban smoking outside of rooms and make a smoking area outside somewhere, maybe in a gazebo away from the rooms. The other major plus for this venue is that you can book for one night. So many accomodation facilities in the Daylesford area have a 2 night minimum to stay, so to find one that had a 1 night option is a huge plus. We will definitely return to this motel and we will make sure we order the breakfast next time!

The motel, relatively new, the 1.8-meter bed is quite comfortable. Take the key in the pub across the road, the waiter will bring it to the room, introduce the room facilities, explain how to check out, and explain that the drinks in the minibar are all free. There is a small table and two chairs outside each house, you can sit in the courtyard by the door and enjoy the sun.

I am in Daylesford for my 50th Birthday Sojourn and Balconies Lakeside has been the perfect place to lay my head in between lovely meals, brunches, wanders and spa dates. The rooms are comfortable, clean-clean and just lovely spaces. The owners and staff have been so wonderful and just made my stay that little extra special. The Aged Aunt and I will definitely be back to enjoy Daylesford and we will definitely be booking ourself a Balconies Lakeside studio room or cottage to R&R in. Thank you so much for making my, what I call, F-wording Fabulous 50th Sojourn just perfect!!

Comfortable enough and friendly hosts. Great location. Very comfortable bed and kitchen facilities were good enough. Bathroom was dated and not particularly clean which was a let down. Ask for an upstairs room as you can hear the people moving around upstairs and it can be annoying at 2am !!

Great hotel, restaurant coffee and meals on the ground floor are good. The cocktails in the lobby are also well prepared in the evening. The hotel has a free swimming pool sauna and a small hot spring pool, free bath towels at the front desk, and the hotel courtyard has a beautiful view. The staff at the front desk was very friendly. They took us to the room and introduced the room facilities. It was so good that I wanted to tip, but my wallet was 50 because I was stingy, so I didn't want to.
