The Love Shack sits on Mary Rd in Wheatsheaf, a short drive from Daylesford in Victoria's Macedon Ranges region. It's a one-bedroom cabin built for two, run off-grid and without Wi-Fi, so phone reception and screen time both drop away once you arrive.
Inside, a fireplace and split-system heating keep things warm through cold, rainy nights, and past guests mention firewood supplied along with small touches like binoculars, gumboots and marshmallow forks. The standout feature, according to repeat mentions in reviews, is an outdoor bath on the deck, used for stargazing soaks even in winter. There's also an outdoor shower on site. The surrounding bush is quiet enough that kangaroos have been spotted grazing right outside the window, and birdsong is a regular feature of mornings here.
Pets are welcome, which several visitors have taken advantage of, bringing dogs or puppies along for the stay. The property is secluded, aimed at couples wanting a proper digital detox or a quiet base for slower remote work away from notifications. One review flagged a large shipping container visible from the outdoor bath deck, about 30 metres off, worth asking about if privacy on the deck matters to you.
Booking and full details run through Discover Daylesford's own site. Pricing isn't listed here, so confirm current rates and minimum stay directly with the booking page before locking in dates.
Good to know

- What should I bring?
