  • If you are ever staying in or near Kyneton then you need to stay here!! It was our home away from home for 5 nights...

    It was so well presented and looked after. Everything was exceptionally clean, neat and tidy. There were very clear instructions for everything that you needed and it was amazing all of the supplies that the owners had available. They had everything you could possibly need!! It’s also a minute walk into the main street which was great. All of the shops were accessible by walking so we didn’t need to use our car. Alice, 10/10 Booking.com, Nov 25 2025

  • A gem in the middle of Kyneton.

    A thoroughly delightful place to stay in Kyneton. Such a beautiful, clean, comfortable and charming home; located in walking distance to shops, farmers market, riverwalk and all the pleasures of this historic Victorian town. Breakfast supplies and kitchen facilities provided all that we wanted. We felt welcome and at home right from the beginning and contact with the landlords was at all times helpful and pleasant.

  • Jacq's Review

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Isabella at Kyneton. Communication prior to arrival was excellent. The house was clean, warm and welcoming, I especially appreciated the front light being on for our late arrival. It really felt like a home away from home and had everything we needed. We would love to stay again next time we're visiting the area. Jacq, 10/10 Booking.com, Oct 7 2025

  • Charming cottage for relaxing

    Dianne was very friendly and efficient and offered an earlier check in time and later check out .
    The cottage was very clean and we appreciated the extra pantry items and the continental breakfast.
    The cottage was very well placed as we could walk to many places of interest as well as restaurants. leoniesV7671TT on Trip Advisor 5/5, 26 Sept 2025

  • Simply the best!

    The best experience; wonderful central location, thoughtful and plentiful amenities, cosy and comfortable. Our host, Di, is amazingly thoughtful and generous and housekeeper, Liana, keeps Isabella spotless. No need to bring anything, just enjoy! It's my third visit.FarAway11836880897.

  • A lovely town with historic houses and shops

    We liked it all, breakfast was great, very comfortable and clean, the lounge with fireplace was lovely and cosy on the cold night Anon.10/10 Booking.com Aug 8 2025

  • Positively Marvellous

    We have just returned from a weekend in Kyneton and are so happy we booked Isabella for our accommodation. Di our hostess was attentive & friendly & check in/ out was seamless. The property felt welcoming as we stepped through the front door. All the ammenities are high quality & the added extras like the antipasto platter, breakfast provisions, pillow choices to name a few make your stay extra special. There was even a phone charger ( which was a real bonus as we left ours at home). We highly recommend Isabella & hope to return again in the future. 4Greenies on Trip Advisor 5/5 June 2025

  • A delightful stay, close to shops, restaurants and beautiful walks. Isabella is a unique home that helps you to relax.

  • Emma's Review

    We spend a delightful weekend at Isabella in Kyneton. The cottage is well presented, everything is well organised and explanations on how to use the diverse devices around the house makes the stay very smooth and enjoyable. The weather was lovely and the patio at the back was a great spot for a drink and a read mid afternoon.

    The cottage is well situated, walking distance to the centre of town, but far enough to be quiet at all times.

    Dianne was very helpful and approachable and provided us with information on the Autumn festivals in the Macedon area.

    We had a great weekend and would recommend the cottage for a beautiful escape. Emma, Direct Email, April 2025

  • Perfect and well appointed 

    Dianne was both a generous and attentive hostess. Isabellas had everthing you could want from a fabulous central location to a chefs kitchen that even had proper pots and pans, it was lovely and clean and probably the best place we had ever stayed in. Gary R, 5/5 on Trip Advisor March 29, 2025

    Isabella was very clean and comfortable and everything we could possibly need for our stay was provided. The quality and quantity of the breakfast supplies exceeded our expectations and the bonus grazing board and wine were a nice inclusion. Di was a wonderful host, very accommodating and prompt with communications. The house is within easy walking distance of Piper Street and all pubs, clubs, cafes and restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend Isabella at Kyneton. Wayne 5/5 on Google March 11, 2025

    We had a lovely, relaxing, long weekend stay in Isabella’s Cottage. We enjoyed every aspect including: - Amazing host host Dianne, who made sure we had everything we needed, and was great to communicate with. - Generous, quality breakfast provisions, which are tailored to dietary restrictions. I especially appreciated this being gluten intolerant. - Full size kitchen with everything you need, including condiments, spreads, oil, foil, etc - Quiet street with no problem parking - Great location, walking distance from Kyneton’s cafes, restaurants and shops - Nice outdoor area, which was great for breakfast, and dinner on warm summer days - Everything we needed was provided, including handy things like sunscreen - Useful information on things to do was provided online before hand - It was nice to have a whole house to ourselves, so had plenty of space, not like some smaller places Of course we can’t wait to stay again. Belinda, Airbnb, Jan 2025

  • "Perfect weekend away"

    Stayed for the weekend with my two sisters - we didn’t want to leave!

  • Google Review

    Gorgeous heritage house with plenty of space for our family and everything needed for an easy stay. Breakfast items stocked were a great touch. Owners really care about you having a great stay. 5/5 Rachel Lowe, Google August 2024

  • Comfortable stay in great location with fantastic facilities

    Breakfast exceeded our expectations - i was thinking it would be cereal and white toast. But were surprised to have locally made crumpets and jam, with fresh eggs and bacon which we all enjoyed! Having a washing machine is always a bonus when travelling. Lots of clean linen, eg towels and robes which was lovely. My sister ended up staying one night as well as there are 3 bedrooms which made the last minute choice easy. We notified Di in the morning and she adjusted the rate easily. Nice to have that choice when you need it and there was enough food for us all to enjoy a cooked breakfast.

    There wasn't anything i didn't like about the property - it was clean and tidy and the host Di was easily reachable when we needed her and resolved our issue very quickly so we were very happy with our stay. The bed was slightly too hard for our liking - but understand that a lot of people like hard mattresses etc so not really an issue. Maria Booking.com March 2024

  • Neat and clean quaint cottage very close to all the shops and restaurants in Piper Street, Kyneton

    We were very happy to have a range of breakfast foods and condiments (including gluten free by special request) available for us to use in the cottage and included in the tariff. The cottage was well located on a pretty street (a very short walk to all the lovely cafes, restaurants and shops in Piper Street), very clean, quick and easy to heat with both a gas fire and ducted heating, and well prepared with items and quality amenities for up to six guests. Very reasonably priced and perfect for our group of 3 friends wanting a bedroom each for a girly weekend away. Mary Booking.com July 2023

  • "Would love to do it again! Isabella warmed our hearts."

    I loved the personalized attention to our requirements for breakfast, and the follow up emails that made me feel welcome and attended to. The history of the house is a bonus and makes you feel like you're getting a private tour of another time. The house is beautifully presented and is a little gem of a previous era - like the outside dunny - with modern conveniences - enough not to spoil the ambiance. Very convenient location with additional parking. Miki February 2023 Booking.com

  • "Just Fantastic"

    “We stayed at Isabella for 2 nights and it was a lot more than we expected. The house was very clean, comfortable and welcoming and it was nicely renovated without losing its original charm. There was an antipasto assortment and a delicious loaf of bread waiting for us on arrival too. All the instructions were easy to follow, including lighting the gas fire and even making pancakes! We really felt the high level of service received wasn’t reflected in the price and I can not recommend Isabella highly enough. We would gladly stay again. Thank you”. 5/5 224etr.
