Exceptional check-in experience

Recent guests gave the check-in process a 5-star rating.
Indulge in a romantic and restful escape in the unforgettable Moloney Architects designed, 'Shadows', situated in the heart of Creswick.

The entire house has a dark stained, handcrafted timber interior, with polished concrete floors, a sunken lounge, fireplace, courtyard with bath and a plush king bed with luxurious linen.

Shadows is a short walk to the local IGA supermarket, pubs, bakeries, cafes, pharmacy, local shopping and train station and a short drive into Ballarat and to Daylesford.

The space
You can't miss Shadows in the heart of Creswick sitting proudly on a previously unused piece of land.

From the Architect: 'Creswick House is a new accommodation project utilising a small triangular parcel of unused land. Designed in response to site context, the building fills in the ‘missing tooth’ in the streetscape while maximising privacy and natural light access.'

A single open plan space, cleverly laid out, designed for you to relax and unwind. Shadows is Japanese inspired and minimalist, built from spotted gum, charred blackbutt and concrete, designed as short stay, boutique accommodation created exclusively for couples to have a unique experience, in a beautiful setting, in the Victorian Goldfields.

Internally lined with local radiata pine, stained black, the natural grain is visible, creating a cocoon like space full of tactile textures, whist enjoying a significant amount of north light in the enormous double glazed windows.

Please add Shadows to your wish list via the ❤️ in the top right and don't hesitate to message if you have any questions about your stay with us.

Shadows in Detail:

The kitchen has a full size integrated fridge, electric oven and induction cooktop. A microwave, kettle, toaster and cooking utensils. A Nespresso machine and plenty of coffee Pods are provided. There's also a selection of teas, coffee crystals, real milk, salt, pepper and Goldi olive oil. All the things we love to have at an Airbnb.

The lounge room is sunken and has a cozy leather sofa with Waverly Mills Australian made wool blanket for those cold nights to cuddle up and read a book, play some cards or chess in front of the fire.

The house has split systems for heating and cooling and also has an Australian made Nectre fireplace with firewood provided to keep you cozy and comfortable on a cool day.

The bedroom has a plush king size bed set on a Japanese style low base with luxurious bedding, fluffy pillows and a wool super king doona for an amazing relaxing sleep. Enjoy the country stars as you drift off to sleep looking through the skylight directly above the bed.

The bathroom has an incredible circular Italian terracotta shower with luxurious bath sheets and Australian made Leif body cleanser, shampoo and conditioner to pamper yourself.

Adjacent to the bed is a desk set up to work from home if need be. There's also a record player and stereo with Bluetooth connectivity for ambiance.

The European laundry is fully equipped with a front load washing machine with washing powder and fabric softener and a heat pump dryer. An iron and ironing board are also available.

The courtyard is a sun trap, set within the established private native garden and a great place to sit and have a coffee or have a steamy outdoor bath with a cocktail in the evening.
