B&B in Musk, just outside Daylesford Vic which provides luxury stays. Rooms are excellent and owners really look after guests. Winery on-site and food is magnificent. Attractions in the area include a cidery and a smallgoods outlet in addition to the other Daylesford attractions.

Whether you are after a cosy weekend lunch in the cellar door complemented with one of the regions best wines or an indulgent weekend away, Barcladine House is the perfect place.
Frank and Rose are the best hosts in the world, and Rosemary’s Osso Bucco is to die for.
We will definitely be back to spend more time at this lovely property.
Frank and Rose are great hosts and really make you feel like family.It’s very tempting to go back time and again and again! Enjoyed the strolls around the gardens, vineyard,lake and especially the wine cellar. A great base to enjoy the local attractions such as Trentham golf club and the Daylesford eateries as we did when we spoiled ourselves to a luxurious weekend away.We’ll be back!
most wonderful place to relax and unwind,Frank and Rosemary are the most gracious hosts ever,we will certainly stay again.
Absolutely love the place, feels like home. Frank and Rose make you feel like a member of their family, warm, welcoming and always pleased to see you. As for the food – memorable for all the right reasons. Generous and delicious, what more could one ask for?
Recommend to anyone looking for comfort, space (if required), generosity of spirit, warmth and laughter.
And, just the right distance from town.
p.s. the wine is definitely worth a taste or two (bottles, that is)!!
Great venue,food,service,rooms,ambience all faultless.
Happens to be in a fascinating part of Victoria,central to so many other regions for guests to come from.
Keep up the good work ,Frank & Rosemary.
Well done
Barcaldine House is a true indulgence in comfort! Located in a picturesque spot of Daylesford, surrounded by an immaculately kept garden – reminiscent of “The Secret Garden” story tale; with charming hosts Frank and Rosa to welcome you like an old friend! I have recently booked my 3rd stay there within 2yrs and intend to keep going back whenever I visit Daylesford with my family! You must stay in one night and try Rosa’s amazing authentic Italian dinners and wake up to her scrumptious breakfasts! A true winner!
An absolutely magic country house owned and managed by the charming Frank and Rose Maree La Rosa. Situated in the picturesque Daylesford it is a truly magic experience! You can indulge in a home cooked breakfast – truly scrumptious! – and – if you want to stay in at night, you can enjoy a glorious dinner prepared by Rose Marie. My sister, mother and I will be repeating our experience again in October – and we can’t wait!!!!
We enjoyed a wonderful weekend at this beautiful house. Frank and Rosemarie are fabulous hosts and so obliging.
Beautful old victorian style home situated on a winery with dam and beautiful gardens. Bed and breakfast at this beautiful place, they also do functions. Wine and food was absolutely fantastic, the hosts Frank and Rosie are so welcoming and the service was great. Very homely and relaxing. Would recommend to anyone.
Celebrated my 40th birthday with close friends and family.
Rosemary and Frank are lovely hospitable people whom are very accomadating.
The great wine and food complemented the whole experience not to mention the friendly staff. Thank you so much for a memorable evening.
this place really does live up to our expectations,food,rooms,comfort ,scenery and well done to the hosts they just love having you
A perfect weekend away in gorgeous Musk. Rose and Frank went out of their way to advise on great local places to eat, drink and get a massage, made dinner reservations for us and made sure we were well looked after where ever we ventured in Daylesford and surrounds. Fabulous hosts made the gorgeous accommodation and scenery even more spectacular!
For my 50th Birthday Kel & I stayed at Barcaldine for a wonderful weekend of luxury. Rosemarie cooked up a storm in the cellar/restaurant for the guests that attended my birthday celebrations and the “Beef and Red Wine” pies were supurb!! Frank & Rosemaries hospitality is second to none, they are a caring, friendly, approachable and down to earth couple, who enjoy the enviable position of living in one of the most beautiful & visually stunning homes in the Daylesford area. Our room was thoughtfully & tastefully presented, reminiscent of an elegant bygone era and the claw bath was very relaxing. Thoroughly enjoyed sitiing at the kitchen table each morning chatting to Frank & Rosemarie while tucking into a delicious & hearty cooked breakfast (nice to be spoilt once in a while!!) and strolling around the vineyard and gardens was also a truly relaxing and memorable part of our stay with the rolling green hills providing a wonderful back drop. It was certainly a privilege to stay at Barcaldine, with heartfelt thanks to our hosts Frank and Rosemarie for the wonderful memories of my 50th Birthday!! A truly gracious Bed and Breakfast which we heartily recommend.
We have had many stays at B&Bs both in Australia & overseas .Can truly say if youre looking for that special place Barcaldine House is the place to visit. The warm welcome and personal care extended to us by hosts Frank & Rosemarie is something everybody should have an opportunity to enjoy. Beautiful home cooked meals, friendly chats about wines, and a real willingness by the owners to get to know you.Highly recommend, and in our view ” A must place to stay”
Rose & Frank are perfect hosts and Rose is the best cook in world
We stayed here recently and it was purely divine. If you’re looking for the greatest getaway with great food with romantic surrounds and tranquility we highly reccomend you visit Rosemarie and Frank who are the most delightful hosts you could ever imagine. Barcldine House has beautiful accomodation and for service you could simply ask for no more. Thanks for everything, we shall return soon.
Stayed there for our 1 year weddding anniversary. Loved the peaceful surrounds and to die for food. Frank and Rosemarie made us feel like we were on our honeymoon once more. Thanks for this special experience. See you next wedding anniversary.
My daughter had raved about Barcaldine House when she and her fiancee stayed last year, so we called in last weekend and it was like we were greeted by old friends. Frank and Rosemarie are the perfect hosts. The grounds are just beautiful, stunning views and I will definately be back for more of the smooth Cabernet Merlot – not to mention Rosemarie’s famous meat pie! Thanks guys.
First class accomodation a warm relaxed atmosphere . Rose and Frank are great host and well appointed rooms and the surrounding grounds and vine yards / cellar make the stay very enjoable . We will be back
A lovely building with big central open fire, set in a winery with hilltop views. Rosemarie is an excellent cook (and runs cooking classes), and Rosemarie and Frank are great hosts – friendly and attentive, and good people. Guest rooms are beautifully and comfortably appointd, and limited to a few, making it a personal and intimate holiday. Functions can also be catered for, in the cellar, opening out onto gardens and the winery. You might be lucky enough to experience the fairytale snow scene in the winter. Thoroughly recommended!
We had a wonderful stay at Barcaldine. It was just like visiting friends. Rosemarie and Frank are great hosts, so welcoming and interesting and we spent a lot of time talking , eating and drinking their great wines.. Rosemarie is a fabulous cook and we thoroughly enjoyed her food. We have visited a lot of B&B’s over the years, but Barcaldine is definetly the best we have stayed at.
We are definetly going back.
Our first experience at a B & B. The house is gorgeous, gardens beautiful and they don’t make a bad drop of wine either! We had a lovely time with Frank & Rosemarie, when we left it felt like we were saying goodbye to old friends… we will be back!!
What a wonderful place. We enjoyed our stay with Rosemarie & Frank very much. Great food, fantastic wine & very good hospitable people. Thanks very much for a fantastic weekend. Will definately be back soon.
Kick back and enjoy everything this place has to offer. Words cannot do it justice. Go and see for yourself. No go and indulge yourself!!
In the past 4 years Dawn & I have stayed at 28 locations in Victoria. The only place we stayed at twice was
Barcaldine.
Reason: Great hosts, Great location, Great Rooms, Delicious home made food, together with cellar enjoyment.
A must stay.
We have stayed there a number of times in the last few years and found it a magnificent experience. Far in advance of any average B & B establishment. Wonderful service and personal attention from Rosemarie and Frank who made each visit a delight. Rosemarie is a fabulous cook and the accommodation and service sencond to none. We will be staying again in the near future.
Fantastic getaway from everyday life. Wonderful service. A+++
