Willowdell is a peaceful cottage retreat on a boutique rural horse property, halfway between the historic townships of Kilmore and Lancefield. Surrounded by scenic farmland at the base of the McHarg Ranges, it's the perfect base to explore the delights of the Macedon Ranges to the west, or Tallarook, Tooboorac and the Heathcote wine region to the North. Ideal if you are temporarily working or visiting friends in the area, or as a relaxed get away from a hectic city schedule.

This property is a nice place to stay. It is clean and surrounded by beautiful country properties where horses are grazing. A couple of points to note, however. The advertisement should clearly indicate, but does not, that bed sheets and towels are not provided, except for an extra fee of $40 per bed. So bring your own or pay. Also, a relatively minor matter is that the washer and dryer are located in the car park. The washer worked well but the dryer worked once but on second wash, was dysfunctional (hopefully this has been fixed). Also, the property owner requires dishes to be washed and put away upon leaving the property. The owner provided a minimal amount of dishwashing liquid - she could have been more generous (a small matter but annoying nonetheless). Finally, be very aware there is no Wi-Fi link provided.
Highly recommend this quirky cottage getaway. Set in a beautiful location with views in all directions, the tranquility is second to none. Itâs such a relaxing environment and a stone throw to the regions attractions. Host Bernadette was fantastic to deal with, our comfort was her priority. We shall return!
A long time local to the area, I'm an animal lover, especially my horses and my dog. I really love where I live and love seeing the way my guests appreciate and enjoy the Willowdell property and surroundings as much as I do.
The peaceful rural farmland setting is easy on the ears and eyes. I never tire of the way the surrounding hills are ever changing throughout the seasons. I feel so fortunate and grateful for the opportunity to live in such a delightful setting.
The peace of the area is broken only by the vast variety of birdlife, along with the odd echidna or kangaroo. Peaceful, safe and secure, once you're settled inside the gates you can leave the rest of the world behind and simply relax and breathe in the pure country air, all within an easy hour's drive from Melbourne.
