Deckhaus Hepburn Retreat

Deckhaus is a wonderful contemporary home offers the beauty of the natural bush setting, within easy walking distance to Hepburn Springs and Hepburn Springs Golf Course. With great facilities for cooking or a short distance to local restaurants. The perfect spot for the whole family boasting large spacious bedrooms, huge kitchen, spacious bathrooms 3 toilets and lovely open plan living areas with a gas log fire and Ducted Heating / Air Conditioning The outdoor deck is generous with lots of places to sit and enjoy the gardens. There is a large built-in gas plumbed BBQ outside.

The Deckhaus is located in a private low traffic spot in Hepburn Springs.
It is a 3 minute walk to the local golf club and feels as though you are secluded but still very close to town so the best of both worlds.

The property is only wired fenced at the rear but open either side to other properties as is most of the street - we like this for the wildlife corridor it has become.

Living in Hepburn Springs gives you a real feel for the local community.

Only 2 minutes drive from the famous Hepburn Bath House or easy walk this is a prime location.

Beautiful House in a Beautiful Setting
Absolutely loved our short stay and wish we could have stayed longer. A beautiful modern house with everything you need. A great open plan kitchen, dining and lounge area and big windows throughout. Extra large bedrooms and nice modern bathrooms. Also loved the deck areas to relax and enjoy nature. 10 out of 10!

Relaxing Stay
Spacious and well-equipped house, perfect for a family stay with our dog. Although there are other houses nearby, the house is cleverly positioned to provide privacy and to take advantage of the north aspect and garden views from the lounge room and large outdoor decks. The lovely native garden invited visits from wildlife, including kangaroos, cockatoos and even a peacock one morning. The house has easy street access and Hepburn Springs is a short drive away, so it was no trouble to go out to dinner or pop out for takeaway food (we enjoyed the wood-fired pizzas from Hepburn Pizza). Would definitely stay here again.

Great pet-friendly weekend stay
Deckhaus is warm, spacious, comfortable and well-appointed. The big windows added lots of light and gave the house an open feeling. We stayed as a family with two small dogs over a weekend and had a great time. This would be one of the best short-term stay properties we have used. Highly recommended.

Spacious modern home in verdant setting
Generously appointed large home, with open plan lounge, kitchen and dining area with table for up to 8. Well-appointed kitchen with large fridge and 900 wide oven and huge laundry. Ample ‘everything’ ie plates, glasses, platters for Christmas lunch for 7. Master bedroom with separate deck and gorgeous ensuite including bath with a view to the garden. Other bedrooms are at the other end of the house with shared bathroom, walk in shower. Beds were comfy with good linen and pillows. All bedrooms have TVs and seating space and there are games, DVDs and quality magazines. The house has a lovely vibe – quiet aircon, openable windows with flyscreens, blinds for shade. The deck overlooks the garden, BBQ and bush area. The garden is not fenced on all sides but a delightful place to wander with various areas to sit and observe the abundant bird life. The garden is very well cared for, as is the house. Neighbours were quiet, including kangaroos which came by most mornings. Quiet and convenient location, several options for walks to the town and a lot of interesting areas to explore nearby. Enjoyed free swims at the Daylesford pool, walks to the springs or up to Harry’s for coffee. Communication with our host was excellent and we appreciated the extra Christmas touches around the house, which made our stay more festive. Would highly recommend esp if you enjoy cooking and dining in, sleeping and staying put, but also a great base for the areas attractions. NB there are steps up and down within the house ie between the entry>to lounge> kitchen and that might be an issue for elders with poor mobility or little ones. Dogs need to be quiet and restrained so as to not disturb the wildlife.

Me and a group of friends had a wonderful stay. The house has everything you need. The central heating was toasty warm, great loUnge area, open plan and beds were super comfortable. Host was particularly helpful and responsive when we had a issue with a door and got the handyman straight out to resolve. I can’t rate this house highly enough as it is perfect. We will be back.

What an amazing home, probably the biggest we have stayed at. Well equipped with just about all that you need for a comfortable stay. Kangaroos as our neighbours was a nice bonus too. A little far to walk to anywhere, but if you have a car, it’s not an issue as it’s close to many local attractions.

I enjoyed a special birthday gathering with my daughter visiting from London and my son. The house was wonderful for this occasion, the rooms are expansive and very comfortable, the kitchen is very well equipped for family cooking and the gardens/decks and wildlife were a lovely reminder of their childhood together. I highly recommend this property and thank you for the wonderful memories.
