The Church at Lyonville ~ Daylesford Region

The Church at Lyonville | 3 Bedrooms | 1.5 Bathroom | A Soulful Sanctuary

Step into a storybook escape at The Church at Lyonville, a beautifully restored timber church nestled on the edge of the Wombat State Forest. Just minutes from Daylesford and Trentham, this one-of-a-kind retreat offers a rare blend of heritage charm, modern comfort, and immersive nature.

Built in 1927 as a place of worship, the church has been lovingly transformed into a warm and welcoming home. Inside, you’ll find soaring ceilings, original stained-glass windows, rich timber panelling, and even the original confessional - now a whimsical design feature. The open-plan living space is bathed in natural light and styled by Belle Hemming with a mix of vintage and contemporary furnishings, creating a space that feels both soulful and serene.

Perfect for couples, families, or small groups, The Church at Lyonville features:

• Three beautifully appointed bedrooms (including a loft overlooking the nave)
• A fully equipped kitchen and generous dining area
• A comfortable living space with large wood fire
• A cozy sitting room with reading nook
• A north-facing deck that opens onto a lush, private garden

Outside, the mature park-style garden invites you to slow down and reconnect - with nature, with loved ones, or in peaceful solitude. Enjoy morning coffee among the trees, lawn games in the afternoon sun, or a glass of wine under the stars.

What guests love most:

• The peaceful forest setting, alive with birdsong and native wildlife
• The thoughtful welcome hamper filled with local treats
• The blend of historic character and modern amenities
• Proximity to mineral springs, waterfalls, forest walking trails, and award-winning restaurants

Whether you're soaking in the stillness, exploring nearby villages, or curling up by the fire, The Church at Lyonville is a place to rest, reflect, and be inspired.
