Istana Lodge | 5 Bedrooms | 4.5 Bathroom | Curated Wonderful Country Home

This beautifully renovated country home contains five bedrooms, each accommodating king or queen size beds, making it perfect for a getaway with friends or a larger family gathering. The fourth and fifth bedroom is a self-contained studio with ensuite, living space, and kitchenette, allowing a shared experience with a little bit of space when you need it.
 
The dark walls and deep velour couches give this home a moody, contemporary edge. Coupled with the incredible array of curated artwork that pepper every wall and surface, Istana Lodge gives the feel of staying in a cosy local gallery. Along with statement furniture, indoor plants, and pops of colour, there is no shortage of elements to draw the eye.
 
Step outside into the grounds, and you find yourself surrounded by lush gardens, perfectly manicured lawns, paths and hedges. A little further out, great tall gum trees surround the property, giving the sense of your own little slice of heaven out in the country. Located on acreage, the expansive grounds give you plenty of space to relax and explore.
 
A sparkling outdoor pool invites you to take a dip, or lounge on the edge in the sun. For the chillier nights, an outdoor fire pit provides warmth and cosy comfort. A beautifully crafted large outdoor table makes this the perfect place for outdoor entertainment, along with a foosball table for those who want to bring their competitive streak along.
 
Istana Lodge is the idyllic country retreat, providing you with everything you need in a country setting, while being close enough to explore all the treasures that Daylesford and surrounds has to offer.

Wished we stayed longer

The property and grounds are beautiful and it was a great house to relax and play. We made use of the pool, foosball table, chess set and hosts the most comfortable couches. It was only a 5min drive yo the town centre.

The decor of the house was fun & interesting. The beds were excellent & the linen chrisp & clean.Unfortunately, the maintenance inside & out was not up to par. There was only 1 champagne glass in a house that sleeps 10 people! the gas bottle ran out after 10 minutes with no replacement & I had to ask for the grass to be mown so we could use the grounds. The windows was very dirty on the outside. It's a great pity as the house could be the palace its name represents
