Winter Never Felt So Good
Adventure in Blackwood, Macedon Ranges, VIC, AU
This cosy little home is located in a quiet town called Blackwood, between Macedon and Daylesford. The place is ideal for relaxing and winding down with your partner or a small group of mates. Lesley was really attentive, giving us a bunch of recommendations to do around the area – don't miss Trentham Falls, an absolute beauty.
The house is warmly set up with a wood fire, a fully equipped kitchen and electric blankets. Our favourite spot was the sunroom, where we enjoyed the best coffee with the first light in the morning. Winter has never felt so good!

Things We Did
- Waterfall
- Hike
- Winery
- Town
A small walk from the car park to the Trentham Falls, where we enjoyed incredible views.
Hike thirty minutes to the top of Hanging Rock and you'll enjoy an amazing lookout. It's steep, but worth it! Note they charge a $10 fee.

Great night out – we loved the pizza and the parma! The wine list is pretty good and there are a lot of fireplaces, which makes the venue really cozy.
Trentham is a little town enclosed by forest and nature. It has really good spots to enjoy brunch or dinner – don't miss the chai at Trentham General, the sausage rolls at Redbeard, or the pizza at The Cosmo!
