The Dudley Boutique Hotel

We had an amazing weekend stay at The Dudley! The hotel is cosy and intimate, with so much care put into every detail. Our room was beautiful, super comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Breakfast was out of this world, the French toast is a must! Charles & Adrian made the whole experience unforgettable - their attention to detail, care, and warmth created a truly special stay - 5 stars just isn’t enough. We’re already looking forward to planning our next visit!

I have stayed in many lovely hotels in Australia and overseas and The Dudley Boutique Hotel rates at the very top. Immaculately clean, beautifully styled, extremely comfortable with every detail from bathroom products to the tea and coffee served personally selected by the owners to their exacting standards. The hosts Adrian and Charles provide a wonderful mix of professional and thoughtful service. It is clear they care deeply about providing a great experience for their guests. The location is also great. Over the road is the Hepburn Springs Spa and parkland, and from there you can hike on bush trails to see the area. Its a short, pleasant drive to Hepburn or Daylesford for dinner, lunch or shopping, and if you need them to, your hosts will drive you to and from your dinner venue so you can enjoy a local brew or wine! On our morning of departure we left at 7am to start the long drive back to Sydney and Adrian and Charles appeared to farewell us with lattes to go! We will be back.

From the moment we stepped in, we felt immediately relaxed. The property is very tastefully furnished, comfortable and both Charles & Adrian were so helpful and calming. We got the add on that covered wine and canapés by the open fire in the reading room, transport to and from dinner in Daylesford and an amazing breakfast! We’ll definitely be back when we need some more Zen time. Highly, highly recommended!

This was our second time staying at The Dudley Boutique Hotel and once again it has been absolutely fantastic. When you arrive you are greeted at the door by the owners Charles and Adrian and your relaxing stay begins. There is nothing left to want when staying at The Dudley. Comfortable bedrooms and relaxing communal spaces with open fireplaces. A large deck overlooking a spectacular yard is lovely in the sun. The new private wellness retreat with spa and sauna has added a whole new level of relaxation! Three course breakfasts every morning prepared by Charles, wine and cheese each evening in front of the fireplace. Chauffeur driven to and from dinner bookings…..there really is nothing to do but relax and enjoy. Everyone deserves to be pampered and Charles and Adrian have done a remarkable job of making sure their hotel is just the place to achieve this. We can’t wait for our next visit! Thank you Charles and Adrian.

My partner and I stayed for a couple of nights in September, and from the moment we arrived until the time we left, the service was exceptional: thoughtfully personalized yet never intrusive. Everything about this small boutique hotel has been carefully designed with guests' comfort and convenience in mind. The rooms are beautifully styled and impeccably appointed. Breakfasts were delicious, as were the evening wine and cheese offerings. This is the perfect place for a quiet, restorative getaway. I honestly can't recommend it highly enough, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit.

Our stay at the Dudley was the most relaxing, restful and special experience. We cannot thank Charles and Adrian enough for making our weekend so fantastic. The design of the hotel is so well thought-out, and the level of cleanliness is the best we've seen in a long time. The in-house breakfast was exceptional, and winter was perfect for wine and cheese by the open fire. The small touches, and in-particular the transfer service to dinner made for a truly relaxing break. We cannot wait to come back for another stay. 10/10!

For anyone looking for a luxurious escape in the Daylesford area you need to look no further than The Dudley Boutique Hotel. From the moment you arrive Charles and Adrian are the consummate hosts and will help you experience the perfect getaway. The hotel facilities are immaculate and with the addition of their new Wellness Retreat you have everything you need for a romantic weekend away. Charles and Adrian have clearly spent their time cultivating an excellent relationship with the local restaurants and are happy to recommend somewhere to eat for a range of dining experiences. On our most recent visit we were unable to get a booking at a restaurant one evening, we mentioned this to Charles and a short time later he had secured a booking for us (we were even met by the owner of the facility on our arrival). Do yourself a favour and pay a little extra to get the Getaway Package, the evening cheese and wine in the library sitting in front of the fire is the perfect start to a night out. The complimentary dinner transfers enable you to fully experience the local beverages when you’re out for dinner. The restaurants know where you’re staying and will call Charles to pick you up when you’ve finished (the service really is exceptional). Breakfasts at The Dudley are an experience with a delicious selection of items (they are more than happy to adjust based on dietary requirements). My wife and I have been there twice now and we are already looking forward to our next visit. Thanks again Charles and Adrian you have an wonderful establishment with exceptional service, you leave us dreading our return to reality when we leave.

The Dudley Hotel is absolutely outstanding. Adrian and Charles are the most welcoming hosts, offering genuine five-star hospitality that’s rare to find. The hotel is elegant and comfortable, the food is delicious, and every detail is taken care of with such care. A truly memorable stay – highly recommended!
