    My then partner, now fiance, stayed at Kudos villas last year and we could not have been more pleased with what we had discovered! A truly romantic, hidden, private getaway with everything you need – a spa you could lose yourself in, dreamy bed (not to mention the ‘love seat’!), kitchen with everything, cosy fireplace and the beautiful landscape (we were even lucky to see snow falling) was just an added bonus. We would go there again in an instant and have recommended it to dozens of people.

    Well Kudos villas is simply amazing, defantly perfect for a romatic get away, furniture is modern yet comfortable, quite apacious although you don’t feel cramped, as you enter for first time you literaaly have your breath taken away, soft music is playing as it sets the ampience. You have been given everything you could possibly need and more i would most certantly come back again for another visit and defiantly reccommed Kudos Villas to friends and relatives and think they are very well deserving of this adward!!!!!

    Kudos Villas are the perfect getaway – quiet, private, beautiful decor and top-range facilities. We can’t wait for our next holiday there. How great it was to watch the Aus Open Tennis on the big screen TV from the spa in the lounge!

    Kudos Villas are unbelievably romantic and relaxing.
    We stayed at Kudos for our one year wedding anniversary, after getting married at the lake house the year before… we loved staying at the lake house but thought Kudos was even better!
    Everything was spotless, the service fantastic, and we tell all our friends its the place to stay in Daylesford.
    We will return again and again.

    AHHHH what a wonderful time we had at Kudos Villas! The host (Rodney) is such a charming gentleman and so accomodating to our needs, even fulfilling our very special needs (even at the weirdest of hours)! We will certainly be recommending Kudos to all our lovely friends in Bridport Tasmania! Keep it up guys, we will certainly be back at the earlist possible opportunity. Sure beats the Country Club Casino in Launceston for a romantic getaway!!

    I stayed at Kudos water for my 1 year wedding anniversary. We had the most relaxing time there and we could not have asked for anything better. The people that we dealt with when we needed assistance were very helpful and the place was so clean and tidy and everything that was promised was actually there.

    I would recommend Kudos to everyone because I know for sure that they will have the best relaxing time of their life

    Staying at Kudos certainly was an experience for my husband and I. The villa was stunning and service from staff from booking to check out can not be faulted. Kudos is the perfect place for a relaxing weekend away. We plan on a return trip in the not too distant future and will certainly be recommending Kudos to all of our friends.

    Kudos was definately the nicest, most relaxing place i have ever stayed in. I go away every 6months and this is now the top destination to go to for myself and my partner. Intimate place with stunning features one could only dream of being in your own dream getaway. An absolutely must try to all, families and romantic couples.
    You will not be disappointed

    Kudos Villas was amazing when my boyfriend and i went last year. We needed a relaxing holiday and thats what we got. Beautiful spa in the lounge where you could watch tv, great kitchen facilities which we used many times, as we were so comfortable that we didnt want to leave the house. We enjoyed ourselves so much last year that we are returning again this year, and staying a bit longer.
    If you are wanting a relaxing get away, this is the place to go.
    Thanks

    We spent our honeymoon at Kudos Villa’s, It was by far the most romantic and relaxing holiday we have ever been on. There’s no need to leave the Villa’s, just enjoy the spa while watching a Movie or listen to music while sitting by the fire.
    We both highly recommend Kudos Villa’s, and I have promised my wife we will back soon to enjoy another Villa.

    The ultimate oasis of complete luxury in accomodation. These Kudos villas offer every amenity required including an in ground spa placed strategically in front of a large plasma television situtated in the lounge room where you can sit or lay back infront of the open fire place and relax while sipping on a glass of champagne with your partner or friends. The tranquility of its surroundings transforms you from the hustle and bustle of the city life to a peaceful, tropical, haven. I rate my stay in “Kudos Air” as a 10/10 and can only urge everyone to stay there at least once, I am sure you will keep going back for more.

    MOST DEFINATLY THE NICEST AND BEST PLACE MY PARTENER AND I HAVE EVER STAYED AT! (believe me we have stayed at many places).

    The most beautiful destination for our one year anniversary, peaceful, relaxing surrounds, with the most well thought out open plan design for the villa. No luxuries were spared, with the spa and loveseat complete heaven. Have already recommended to friends, and we will definitely be back to try the other villas.

    Just returned yesterday from a two night stay in the Waters Villa at Kudos in Hepbern Springs. We had the most fabulous experience, enjoying the beautiful decor and ambience of the villa, the attention to detail is to be commended with every aspect of our stay catered for. We will definately be ticking off the other villas for future stays and have no hesitation in reccomending anyone wanting a romantic, peaceful and restful stay to book any of the Kudos villas for that special break.

    Oct 6th, 2009 at 10:18 am

    Absolutely awsome!!! This would have to be the perfect get away for any couple wanting it all…we had a truely amazing experience, the spa, massage and the love seat were some of the highlights in this very well thought out cabin. The bed linen and choice of pillows is also very impressive, as is the whole package. We will definitely be back for some more pampering. 10 out of 10 well done guys.

    Kudos Fire was opulent, relaxing, romantic and had everything at your finger tips. The full length spa with beverages and full screen TV (music etc) was a wonderful way to unwind. To be greated by a massuer at your door step only added to the luxury. The robes and chocolates were also a cozy touch of class. Returning to this luxurious location is a plan in the making.
    Thank you Rob & Kel for providing such a wonderful retreat.

    Kudos Indulge was exactly that – an indulgent experience. My husband and I loved every minute we spent there amongst the peace and tranquility. Kudos = detail and the attention to detail shown by the owners is second to none. There is not a stone unturned or delight not provided. Thank you for a most memorable stay. We will be back!

    We have been fortunate to stay at four of the Kudos Villas. Each villa had a different theme but each was designed to provide the utmost in comfort and private seclusion with huge TV screens, a double spa in the living room where one can sip champagne whilst watching the TV or listen to beautiful music from the hi-fi surround sound system.
    For a few days in a romantic setting one can relax away from the city’s rush ina beautiful bush setting. We’ll certainly go again.

    Our honeymoon at Kudos was one of the most memorable romantic experiences we’ve shared. To escape to the serenity and natural beauty of Daylesford is one thing; to spend our night sipping champagne in the spa and floating in the king size bed was all that we could have wished for. We have vowed to return to Daylesford and experience each of the Kudos Villas on our every anniversary. We sure hope you plan to build more!!!!

    Our ‘babymoon’ was our last hoorah for glamorous romantic holidays. Hubby did so much research and he booked Kudos Villas. So, expectations were high and happily all of them were met. It was the perfect place to stay. Relaxing and romantic we barely left the villa. Why would we? It was sensational. Once we can sneak away for a weekend again one day we will go back.

    Set in the most serene surroundings of Daylesford and Hepburn Springs, the Kudos Luxury Villa’s are the perfect place to stay when you decide to explore the magical surrounds of the Highland Country and Central Goldfields Region.

    There’s so much you will want to do – if you can drag yourself away from the Peace and Tranquility of these beautiful Villa’s!! There’s something there for everyone. If Kudos is not one of your holiday destinations, then you are missing out – BIG TIME.

    Kudos Temple…. where do I start from. This has had to be one of the best accommodation we have stayed in Victoria. Very relaxing, and great place to go and unwind all your stress and leave all behind. It was very cosy having a glass of wine near the open fire place and then enjoying a spa overlooking the great views from the balcony. This was a present from my partner for my birthday and it was one I will never forgot !! Great villas, nice restaurants near by and fantastic massages all near by!!!!

    Kudos water was the perfect surprise for a romantic weekend with my boyfriend, from the moment we entered thru the door we new we wouldn’t want to leave in a couple of days time. luxury modern decor, romantic settings, awesome design.
    The owners spared no expense when purchasing the furnishing’s everything was just beautiful, we have not stop bragging to our friends & family how amazing this villa was and our time spent there we loved every minute, watching a movie snuggled up on the “leather love seat” or taking a dip in the HUGE sunkin spa with your favouite bevarage in hand.
    We have decided we will be going back every year to try out all the Villa’s on offer.

    Whenever we stay at other accommodation we always say “this doesn’t compare to Kudos”

    The Kudos “Secret” villa, is JUST that, it is like a secret hideaway, nestled among 5 acres, and is COMPLETELY secluded, romantic, and serene :)

    The perfect getaway, that provides not only an excellent theme to immerse the holiday makers but a sense of security and companionship with the layout of the rooms. If you take only one thing away from Kudos, it will be relaxation that will leave you re-energised.

    The ‘Kudos experience’ is now so well known that we made the trip from South Australia just to visit the villas. Indulgent luxury is cleverly blended with a feeling of complete relaxation and once we stepped inside the worries of our world disappeared. The Kudos Villas provide an example of Victoria’s quality accommodation offerings ensuring we want to come back again…and again! Well done Kudos, Well done Victoria!

    What an amazing way to spend a short break away. If we only knew how awesome, relaxing and romantic it was going to be we would have stayed longer. Our next visit will be longer and we cant wait to try each Villa. The Love seat was the perfect way for us to cuddle up and just de-stress from our daily lives.

    It was an absolute surprise to enter our cabin to have the soft romantic music playing in the background and the cabin was warm, exactly what we needed when we arrived on a wet cold August Sunday. Was pleased and relieved to find exactly what you see on the internet (what you see is what you get). You do not see anyone and are not distubed at all and was not made to feel guilty for using all the facilities (spa and fireplace) provided as I have in the past have felt staying elsewhere.
    Look forward to staying there again.

    As a romantic destination in the Australian bushland it has no peers.Your time is truely your own in a villa which is genuinely hard to leave! Wonderful attention to detail, the views and luxurious amenities dissolve your everyday worries and allow you to enjoy every precious minute of your time together. We will be returning soon and to enjoy a different style!

    Kudos has left me in quandry. I will have to stay with my partner through thick and thin now. I could not possibly take any body else to Kudos and not going back again and again is something I don’t really want to think about. Even a romantic retard like myself seemed like cassanova in that environment. Two villas down still a few to go.

    Oct 2nd, 2009 at 11:35 pm

    This was truly a great getaway. After working for 6 years, 7 days a week without a single holiday or break, I didn’t imagine that Kudos Villas would satisfy such an insatiable urge for rest, peacefulness and luxury. The serenity was fabulous, the setup was spot on and that COUCH was unbelievable. (let’s not forget the spa and the masseur………Kudos ticked all the boxes.

    Truly unforgettable.

    Many thanks to Rob and Kel …………… we thank you!

    Thanks again

    We loved out stay at Kudos, with that spa and champers who wouldn’t! It was during the bush fires and there were some breaking out around the daylesford area at the time we were booked in, but we were put at ease by Kel & Rod letting us know that all was ok to still come up – it’s all in the attention to the detail. We had a great & relaxing stay, the villas are luxurious and private and nestled in a great spot to just be able to chill out from the everyday! Hardest thing about going back is choosing which one to stay in next!!

    From the moment i stepped into the Villa my body felt relaxed and at ease thats the feeling a Kudos Villa gives you whether your watching TV from the love couch with the fireplace or enjoying a nice relaxing spa you feel at home. If you want to get away with the one you love then look no further you wont be disappointed

    For a quite & peaceful getaway in a secluded bush setting, it can’t be beaten. The decore is moden yet warm & enviting, fully optioned with a choice of several themed villa’s depending on your mood. Ancilliary services are also excellent…I can recommend trying an in-house massage.

    All this within 5 minutes of Daylesford or Hepburn Springs. Truely wonderful.

    My now husband and I stayed at Kudos Villas for our short honeymoon following our wedding. It was the perfect un-wind to a very busy lead up and wedding.
    The villa was furnished perfectly, the attention to detail was great and it was exactally what we were after. It well and truly surpassed our expectations.
    We have stayed at many places – but this was the best!
    It was the ideal place to stay to share our first few nights as “Mr and Mrs.”
    We would recommend this to anyone and everyone!
    Thanks so much!

    What can i say!!!!! My husband and i have stayed at Kudos villas two times now. The first time was at kudos earth for a weekend away which was just beautiful, the spa was so relaxing and a real weekend away from home.
    Kudos Secert was the second time, which i will always remember, we took our parents and grandparents and sister away for the weekend and were the first guest to stay there. The house was so well designed with all your modern comforts and kudos signiture spa. Kudos secert will always hold fond memories for me because that was our last family holiday before my grandfather passed away. Thanks for the memories.
    Well done Rod and Kel, keep up the good work and hope to stay with you again, this time with our new born.

    Simply irresistible. Kudos was an absolutely amazing retreat. The villa was tucked away in the bushes with tall gum trees surrounding the balcony,: a sense of privacy and peace that there was just us and the bush. Just perfect for a couple, getting away from the stresses of daily life. The decor and layout of the villa was warm and cozy. The king size bed had views to the fireplace and tv, as did the sumptuous spa. Sipping champagne in the warm spa, fireplace roaring and our favourite music playing on the state of art sound system. Beautiful wooden floors and modern bathroom added a sensuality to the room. Definitely a place to revive and rejuvenate, physically and emotionally.

    I proposed to my now wife at Kudos and I couldn’t have asked for a better setting-and my wife loved it. The split level areas and spa in the living area are fantastic-but our favourite was the lounge/couch-a great way to sit and relax. Itwe stayed. is all self contained so we didn’t need to leave the days
    Excellent accommodaton, value for money and a great place to stay in a beautiful setting. We can’t wait to get out there again.

    Being our 25th Wedding Anniversary, I wanted to plan something special and spent a lot of time researching places to stay in many different locations. Somehow I came across Kudos and it appeared to be everything I was looking for and it stood out above all the rest I had looked at. We stayed for 5 nights and it was absolutely heaven, the best place we’ve ever stayed in that provided all the luxuries you could want, with attention to every little detail. What an absolute credit to the owners. Definitely looking forward to the next stay!

    Kudos Villas are THE most romantic cottages i have ever stayed in! my now husband and I stayed there in the “water” villa on our 1st year together and had such a relaxing and romantic weekend. We are now married and have been together almost 5 years! The villas are fantastic as there is no need to leave for the whole time u spend there, they are self contained and u can even have an in-house massage or facial, DIVINE!

    My husband and I stayed at Kudos a couple of years ago and we loved it. It’s secluded, modern, very stylish and we absolutely loved the big screen TV which you could watch while in the spa!! That wasof particular interest to my husband!! I took some of the brochures back to work to share with my coleagues. A great place to stay for a romantic few days away. Close to the lovely Hepburn Springs and Dayelsford and we even had an in house nassage each. The lady came to our unit and set up in the main room and while one had a massage the other relaxed and sat in the sun on the balcony. All the mod cons including BBQ and room for another couple as well. Very nice!

    I have just found heaven on earth…….Kudos Villas! Me and 3 girlfriends had a girls weekend away (staying in Kudos Air) and it was absolute bliss. Yes it’s definitely a very romantic place but what a great setting for a girly getaway. Great wine, good food, excellent company, massages and a full day of pampering – what more could a girl want! Luv the gorgeous spa bath, the open fire, the fantastic love seats and the awesome sound system! I can’t wait to go back and maybe even bring my husband next time…………

    My partner and I stayed at Kudos Villas and loved every moment. I actually booked Kudos Villas because I wanted the absolute BEST accomodation to propose to my partner! I researched on the internet and KUDOS Villas was the BEST choice by far. From the moment we arrived the scene was set- birds chirpping in the distance, the smell of the tranquil bush setting and open fire places burning-I thought to myself- PERFECT! When we entered the Villa we were blown away- from the beautiful polished floorboards to the thoughtfulness of heart shaped chocolates on the bed and the ‘love couch’ was simply brilliant. The attention to detail was outstanding- CD’s to set the mood, open fire place, HUGE spa set on a raised platform- I knew it was the place were I wanted to ask my partner for her hand in marriage! I remember every second of our stay at KUDOS and highly recommend it to anyone looking for that special getaway…..and Yes the answer was YES- we shared tears, laughter, joy and comfort in the most perfect accomodation and the best weekend of our lives!

    We stayed at one of the Kudos Villas for our honeymoon…. boy was it bliss! Such attention to detail. There was a delicious hamper full of local goods on arrival and beer in the fridge, what more could we ask for. The decor, spa and the worlds most comfortable couch thingy I have ever been on. We even managed to sqeeze in a great massage. Definately worthy of winning!!! Will be back for sure.

    Truly one of the most romantic places I have been. A nice log fire burning while you’re relaxing in the spa watching a movie is my ideal winter getaway. Kudos is the only place I have stayed in that had everything I needed in the one villa. Ideal for a long weekend with your loved one, Hepburn Springs is a popular spot for couples, however the seclusion of the villas makes you feel like you’re the only ones there.

    The tranquil bush setting of gorgeous birds tweeting about their business, the beautiful sunshine & the tremendous rolling thunderstorms in the evenings.
    A perfect way to enter the New Year, we have had a positively prosperous & happy year.

    We have stayed in two of the villas, each time for our wedding anniversary. We have enjoyed the luxury they provide. Laying back in the spacious spas, drinking champs and watching a movie is just the best. Then curling up on the fabulous large love couch makes it a very relaxing and memorable weekend. Plan to go back again to check out another one of the villas.

    Kudos is all it promises! The perfect getaway for any city-slicker that is trying to get away from noise, polution, traffic and everyday working life. My fiance and I booked Kudos for our anniversary and could not have asked for more. Beautifully appointed, the most comfortable bed and a stellar breakfast made up of local produce – by the way…you can watch TV whilst sitting in the Spa!
    Thank you to Kelly and Rod for providing the perfect couple retreat!

    What can I say… Simply stunning
    My boyfriend and I spent 2 wonderful & unforgettable nights at Kudos – Fire. Kudos Villas have 4 villas which you can pick from, they are all unique & that little bit different from each other.

    When we first arrived we were blown away with how spacious, stylish & modern the villa was, we were welcomed with a few nibbles which included fresh bread, chocolate coated peanuts and some alcoholic beverages. The hosts had thought of everything.

    Just be careful where you park – to the left of fire or earth its a bit muddy & has a rather steep incline. Apart from that they are very hard to flaw, they are superbly located just a few minutes drive from the town centre.

    I would highly recommend Kudos villas for anyone looking for an unforgettable and relaxing break. All I can say is luxury and I can’t wait to go back. Kudos Villas are very popular so my suggestion would be to book way in advanced.

    The most relaxing getaway we have had. Kudos Temple was beautiful with everything you could want for a relaxing break. It was the perfect place for me to propose to my now fiance! Everything from the King size bed, the largest 2 person spa, and 100″ projector screen & surround sound system meant there was no reason for us to leave! They even provided in room massages and facials! Jackie and I both agree that we would give this a 5 star rating! Will definitely return! Oh! and thanks Kudos team for helping me arrange my surprise proposal!

    What a great place for a weekend get away. Total rest and relaxation, lovely cosy fire, great spa – it was so great we did not want to leave and cancelled dinner plans and had takeaway in front of the fire instead. Loved every minute – can’t wait to come back one day.

    We have stayed in many beautiful accommodation places in our time and this would have to be one of the best as there is so much attention to detail and luxury that it is hard to surpass. The surroundings are to die for as well with all those cute kangeroos and birds that greet you each day.

    The working week had come to and end, the children were snug away for the weekend with nan, we were headed for Kudo’s Fire. Step one take weary bones and run warm water into the depths of the relaxing spa that will soon relax you entire being. Step two get the fire glowing, dim the lights to relax the senses. Step three pop open your best bottle of bubbly or wine. Take the cheese and biscuits you brought along with you place them with bubbly within reach of the spa, press play to bring to life your favorite movie, now off with the clothes, off with the stresses of the week and slide into the waiting spa mmmmm that was the first ten minutes of our stay and got better from there, Kudo’s you take a weary working mum and turn her into a relaxation machine for two days, the world stops, thankyou.

    Kudos Villas provided the perfect setting for a mid-week (child-free!) getaway. Every detail had been considered and we appreciated them all. These villas offer a 5 star experience in unique accommodation in which it is obvious much thought and planning has been placed. We will definitely be back.

    Arriving at hepburn springs it was wet and windy and we thought our weekend was ruined. But after walking into the Kudos Villa we realised that the bad weather was a blessing in disguise. We stayed indoors and enjoyed relaxing in the spa and snuggling on the love seat in front of the warm fireplace. Your stay at kudos is the perfect place to getaway and worth every cent.

    We stayed for a couple of nights whilst we were over for a holiday from the UK. We stayed in Kudos water, which was just heavenly. The villa was really well designed, with an enormous bath in the middle of the floor. The setting was lovely, quiet and secluded. The service was great, we had delicious breakfast foods supplied and a lovely massage. We couldn’t have asked for better. We loved it and are keen to return. Definitely one of the best places to stay!

    On a rainy day in Melbourne we drove up to Daylesford and Hepburn Springs for a well earned anniversary getaway. On driving up to Kudos Air, our expectations were blown away by the house and surrounds. A massage, open fire place and a cheeky bottle of red set us up for a fabulous and relaxing weekend. We have recommended Kudos to all our friends and many have been to stay and loved the time they spent there. We look forward to coming back again.

    We had stayed at Kudos when it was known as Genoa Spa Villas.
    We were amazed at the transformation.
    Everything has been thought of to make a stay there absolutely perfect.
    We were so impressed that we gave our children Kudos vouchers as Christmas presents.
    They were equally delighted wtith the venue and the delightful surrounds.
    We will certainly return.

    A friend recommended Kudos to us so I told my parents.They stayed at Kudos and fell in love with the place. From the moment they booked til the time they left, everythng went so smoothly. The villa was a dream. All the comforts you could ask for. Their favourtie was the views and the clam sofa. So so comfortable.
    We gave my brother-in-law and his new wife a 2 night stay there and they used it for their honeymoon. They also loved it. Now I’m hoping that my husband and I get the chance to visit and enjoy all the wonderful times they all had at Kudos Villas.

    My husband and I have two children and do not often have the opportunity to get away. We headed to Kudos for a much relaxed ‘overnighter’, the views were magnificent, the facilities superb and the delightful spa treats were an added joy. After lighting a wood fire, we opened a bottle of wine and could hear nothing, joyous peace!!! Thankyou Kudos we would recommend you to anyone.

    For my 21st birthday, I received a voucher to stay at Kudos Villa, I had never heard of them before – so went & checked out there webpage. Looking at the photos I was very excited, it looked beautiful!! However, I admit, I was a little apprehensive as to whether it would actually look like the photos.

    Now I can still remember walking through the door and just jumping with excitement, it was stunning….exactly like the photos – almost better! The whole cottage was amazing…the fire place, the massive comfy bed, the spa (which you could see the massive flat screen TV from), the prestige kitchen, the modern design, the views and surroundings and even the products and services were FIRST CLASS!

    We received a bottle of champagne and an antipasto platter, which was enjoyed after EACH of our hour massage (the masseuse came to the villa…didn’t have to go anywhere – and it was amazing!); whilst relaxing in the spa.

    Overall, I would DEFINTELY recommend Kudos Villas to stay at.. its truly a comfortable & relaxing experience. Furthermore, the owners are wonderful people willing to cater to all needs.

    My husband booked Kudos villas for our anniversary. Unknown to us we had apreviously stayed there. Kudos used to be called something else…..???????

    When we arrived it was precisely the same villas my husband and I stayed in when he proposed to me. To our surprise It has now been totally revamped and expanded by it’s new and current owners.

    Everything is perfect from the floor plan to the decor. The unimaginable views of Daylesford can be seen from the interior spa and most aspects of the villas. Finally there is a magnificent deck to enjoy the natural surroundings and fresh air of the beautiful spa country.

    Thank you to the new owners for a magnificent experience! Kudos is our special place.

    Kudos was like a perfect dream. We stayed at the Secret Villa, with its beautiful gardens, perfect interior, and the most comfortable love seats in front of the open fire (we didn’t want to get off!). The local kangaroos greeted us upon our welcome, the town was close enough to visit daily and the peace and quiet surrounding the villa was like music to my ears. Wonderful escape from the busy city and only about 90min drive from Melbourne. My husband and I can’t wait to visit again next year.

    Stay at Kudos Secret with my girlfriend and some other friends for 2 nights and 3 days. All I can say is I loved everything about it and i definitely will come back sometime in the future and of course stay longer(when i got the money :P ).

    The accommodation was beautiful, shops and all your needs were nearby so you didn’t have to drive far. So perfect

    An experience which has left wonderful memories. The Kudos villas are absolutely Stunning, all the design elements are very well executed, I loved the use of raw earthy material, it provides a feeling a nature and life indoors. The open plan living is cleverly design making the double spa the feature in the room, you can be in the spa watching a romantic movie with the fire place on. You could not find a more romantic environment. Outdoors is very tranquil and the villas are secluded for your privacy, making this a number one destination for a romantic getaway. Kudos also provides a fantastic massage service and romantic packages to choose from, if I win the competition I know where I’ll be going. I will be definitely be going back to one of the nine villas. 5 Star rating from me!

    I was going to write a long paragraph praising the many nice things about our stay at Kudos, instead I think I can sum it all up in one word; “Perfection”. By far the best accomodation of its type I have ever stayed in, both in Australia and overseas.

    Romance plus! If you are looking for a romantic getaway, a stay in any one of the Kudos villas will do the trick, from the love seat, to the double spa, in the secluded country side of Hepburn Springs. The Villas are also within a short distance to some fine dining within Hepburn Springs area. Rod and Kel have provided the perfect setting, my wife and I are frequent guests at Kudos and recommend it to all.

    We have been staying at Kudos Villas (Fire) for our wedding anniversaries since 2007. It is always a highly-anticipated trip; during the rest of the year, we crave the huge spa overlooking the living room and the open fire place, the serene setting, the unique love seat, and the fantastic double shower. The breakfast basket is also a terrific addition to superb and very user-friendly service. We love falling in love again every July at Kudos!

    Absolutely to die for! We felt like a King and Queen for two nights! Kudos Villas have everything you need and more. From the well equipped kitchen, cosy ,romantic fire place, the serene views and amazing Spa to the couches that we wanted to pack up and take home with us. Staying at Kudos Villas is something I would recommend to everyone to do at least one in their lives…if not more! If you are after luxury, privacy, comfort and something that extra special, you just can’t go past staying at one of these villas. I can’t wait to go back there again!

    The double spa in the lounge area is the most stand out feature of the property, both my partner and I have stayed in 3 different villas and loved them all. They are quietly situated with beautifully appointed fittings, bathroom, kitchen and decor. A must for any couple after the perfect romantic getaway.

    Often when researching accomodation, the pictures look nicer than the real thing. Kudos however is an exception to the rule, in fact i would go one better that when you see one of the villa’s in real life it almost exceeds expectations. No stone left unturned as every fixture and detail oozes luxury, an amazing get-away.

    Could not find a more relaxing environent. Surroundings outside are very tranquil, then come inside to a nice open fire and jump in the spa for a glass of champers whilst watching a DVD on the plasma. Bed was very comfortable and the “Love Seat” was a nice touch to snuggle up to each other. Perfect winter getaway.

    My husband and I have been married for 20 years and we have stayed at a B&B every year to celebrate our lives together. We have always tried a new B&B every year. This year we stayed at Kudos Villas we don’t think we will find anything to come even close to the experience we had at Kudos. We plan to try every villa at Kudos Villas. Every time we have stayed at a B&B they have been lovely but there was always just that little something missing. We stayed in the Water Villa for 2 nights and could not fault it. There was not one thing we could say was missing to make our stay more enjoyable and not to mention the extra personal touches made by Kel & Rod. We look forward to our next visit in 2010.

    Do you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life? To a place where you can escape, to your own private sanctuary in the serene suroundings of mother nature? Then look no further than Kudos Villas. A place where you can truly breathe.

    We had a beautiful and luxurious family getaway at Kudos. Everyone enjoyed their own private bathroom (3), the highlight was a relaxing spa by the warmth of an open fire whilst watching dvd after dvd, eating home made scones cooked perfectly in the old fashioned oven, spectacular views of the countryside, watching a mother kangaroo and joey relax right outside our window, gorgeous furnishings, curled up in the sumptuous round leather lounges, and late checkout.

    What a beautiful weekend getaway. What more could you ask for than pure luxury and we didnt even have to leave Victoria.

    Kudos has everything you need for a romantic, relaxing weekend getaway and the most wounderful place to become engaged as i was.

    There was nothing more inviting than the warmth, luxury and romance of a Kudos Villa in the midst of a Victorian winter. Celebrating our 10 year anniversary together we soon discoverd that Kudos is the kind of place you never want to leave! From soaking in the sunken spa while sipping champagne to curling up on the love seat infront of the fire; there was aboslutely nothing we could fault. The Kudos team should be congratulated for creating such a unique and relaxing environemnt in one of Victoria’s best locations.

    Kudos was beautiful. everything was perfect for our weekend. Both TV’s were great, love seat was amazing (just wanted to take it home), spa was relaxing and the bed was so comfortable we didnt want to get out. I would highly recommend Kudos as a great getaway from the city for a relaxing and fun weekend!

    Kudos Villas is breathtaking! The different decor of each villa, with varying themes and colour schemes, makes selection of your villa fun and special! The spa, fireplace, entertainment system, and beautiful views, make Kudos Villas a must for all holiday-goers!

    The BEST place to stay!!!! Beautifully appointed – modern, tasteful and functional!! We felt utterly pampered with the magnificent sunken spa. Watching the fab big screen tv whilst soaking was a dream. It was so warm and nurturing that we didn’t do very much except stay in and enjoy. The bed and pillows were sooo comfy. Well done to Kudos. We will go back time and time again.

    After looking through the Romantic getaway offers and options on offer over the net , my husband almost gave up on taking me away for our 20th anniversary at all . That was until he stumbled across the KUDOS VILLAS . Once he saw the pictures he was hooked. We chose to fly from Adelaide to experience the indulgence on offer. Yes,Kel and Rod have truly captured the essense of Romance in creating their vision for others to enjoy . THEY HAVE PROVIDED THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN WHAT IS AND WHAT IS NOT. Thanks so much for your gift to us. Well done .

    So romantic!! The love couch is the most comfortable couch I have ever sat on and the spa in the room is just beautiful. Such a nice atmosphere from the moment we entered the room until we left. Had a lovely time and will definitely do it again….and again….and again!!

    When we arrived at Kudos Water it was unassuming until you walk through that door and it is everything you dream of for a quiet laid back relax to rid the body and mind of the rush of the outside world. Wonderfully appointed with care and attention to detail.
    Chocolate hearts everywhere, a refrigerator with pleasant surprises and a feeling of relaxation from the beginning. A great place to hide from the world to just relax or to catch up on work in a very pleasant environment watching the trees through the windows. Plenty of places to eat and meet all tastes. The massage by Tim was excellent. Anything wrong..yes.. we had to leave after two day booking when we should be there for a week.

    Absolutely stunning.

    Spectacular location.
    Stunning service
    Superb atmosphere

    Right in the middle of daylesford, leaves you in the midst of the spa country, close enough to run off to the choclate mill or down to town. Also great places to eat near buy.

    I only have one bad comment. ……. The accomdation was so good I didn’t really go anywhere else!!

    Love this place definately would go back

    We found the unit we stayed in at Hepburn Springs absolutely first class. The ambience of the fire and outlook were very relaxing. One big plus for us was the convenience of the site to local restaurants with varied and interesting fare.

    It was an absolute pleasure to be offered such a beautiful and exotic place to stay.
    The level of dedication and creation was so obvious when you walk in – everything you could imagine was available…breathtaking and surreal surroundings, complete comfort and just a sense of being looked after.

    I look forward to my next and next and next stay at any one of the Kudo’s villas – what you take away from your stay there is priceless.

    Thank you :)

    It was the perfect way to spend the weekend for our 5 year anniversary. You couldn’t ask for a more romantic and relaxing place to stay which catered to our every needs.

    All restaurants and attractions were within a very short drive and the surroundings were very beautiful. There is nothing that they have not thought of to make it everything you would want for a blissful getaway.. we even got to watch the AFL grand final from the spa

    The LoveCouch was so comfortable and I’m trying to work out where I could put one at home..

    Kudos Villas has to be the best place I’ve stayed in Victoria and I would definitely go back there in a heartbeat.

    We’d go again and again and again.
    The children loved the outside atmosphere, the look on their faces when they saw the kangaroos right outside the front door was ‘priceless’.
    The serenity was exactly what we needed!
    LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT KUDOS ‘SECRET’.

    My partner surprised me for our 6 year anniversary by taking me to Kudos Nature which we spent some fabulous days/night together alone to enjoy each others company and the wonderful surrounds. It was the most romantic getaway that i could have ever imagined! We were welcomed with little love heart chocolates on the bed and the rest was up to us to sit back relax and enjoy!
    Nothing like tim tams, baileys and watching a movie while taking a spa.
    Would recomend Kudos Villas to anyone wanting to get away, relax and feel like your miles away!

    Kudos Villas have about 9 different villas all designed with different themes. My partner & I stayed in ‘Water’. Villa very well appointed with all mod cons. Open fire, water feature, spa & all electronic gear you would require. We had a very relaxing night there without children& plan to go back. Well worth people having a look at their web site. Booking process simple.

    Hi
    I have been going to Daylesford now for a long time and came across Kudo Air
    well it was breath taking. I returned recently to take my mother on a long over due
    break and at 79 years of age she was just taken back as to accomodation today.
    She loved sitting around in the love sets read and snoozing.
    Thank you again for allowing me to give my mum a little luxury holiday.

    We stayed at Kudos in May. After a hectic week with friends, we decided to wind down at the end of our holiday, and have a peaceful relaxing time. Wow!! We absolutely loved the feel, and the atmosphere. The furnishings were of such quality and comfort. We loved the bed especially! The best one I’ve ever slept in. We just melted into it!

    We wanted the absolute best for our wedding night and Kudos had everything we could possible want…perfect location, modern yet practical design, open fire, huge spa bath and a beautiful bed that was nestled on a higher level to the living area. To top it off, the massive black love seat was a wonder to experience together as newlyweds. We considered Kudos to be an absolute pleasure and would recommend it to any of our friends and family. Thank you for the experience!

    Sep 29th, 2009 at 10:29 am

    Kudos Temple was our first destination for our honeymoon. It was the perfect way to relax after such a hectic lead-up to our wedding and the actual day of our wedding.
    Kudos made us feel relaxed, especially in the amazing deep spa they have and to have a beautiful breakfast on the balcony each morning in a secluded setting certainly relaxed us like no other place has done before.
    It was definitely a home away from home with everything you needed at your fingertips.

    Truly the most special place to stay in Victoria, if not Australia.

    The finest details have all been taken care of, which enables a completely relaxing evironment to stay in.

    It is a pleasure to stay in any of the Kudos Villas, as relaxation is all you need to do.

    Thank you to the entire Kudos team for offering a fantastic level of not only service, but also a high quality accommodation experience.

    I will be back and have expressed my thoughts to many others. I hope they enjoy the same wonderful experience.

    My most memorable getaway. My boyfriend booked Kudos for my Birthday in April as a surprise getaway. When we arrived I was absolutely stunned at the atmosphere and decor of the Kudos Villa, adding to the memory was the picturesque view from the balcony. On top of having the perfect getaway it was made most memorable when my boyfriend proposed to me on my birthday over a perfect cooked dinner in the villa followed by champagne on the balcony. We will definitely be back and have already recommended this place to friends. A must see!

    Sep 28th, 2009 at 7:11 pm

    It was absolutely devine..
    What makes kudos different from other getaway locations, is the love couch.

    I have not seen this anywhere else, and love the very idea that couples can find a retreat only an hr or 2 away from Melbourne and feel relaxed a million miles away!

    The extra modern features of the fire place, spa and open plan decoration adds that extra bit…love it!!

    It felt like we were a million miles away in our own secret hideaway retreat. So private, spacious and built to blend with the landscape. Yet we were on the doorstep of all that Daylesford had to offer should we want to step outside and explore. The best of both worlds. And exceptional hosts. Cheers

    My husband booked this weekend escape for our wedding anniversary. Working in the travel industry, we have experienced many types of accommodation over the years. I can honestly say that Kudos is a piece of heaven. The villa we stayed in was perfectly appointed, the linen crisp and the inground spa – perfect! I especailly enjoyed relaxing in the spa with a glass of champagne, watching one of the movies that were available. An enjoyable, memorable weekend and I can highly recommend Kudos villas. A+++

    We spent our 20th Wedding Anniversary at the Kudos Villas (without the kids) and thoroughly enjoyed our time in such a peaceful location. The Kudos Villas are fantastic with modern facilities and a great sized spa for that romantic ocassion. Being close to nature and being woken up by birds beats being in a boring hotel room in the city. The location of the Kudos Villas is ideal as you can leisurely walk to Dalesford and Hepburn Springs.

    We have recommended the Kudos Villas to our family and friends.

    Stylish, luxurious, and indulgent; Kudos Villas provided my husband and I with the perfect honeymoon getaway! Whether watching DVDs whilst relaxing in the hot tub; whipping up a delicious meal and dining on the balcony as the sun set through the Eucalyptus trees; or enjoying a glass of wine and decadent chocolates whilst snuggled on the huge Love Seats in front of the open fire, Kudos Villas are the most fabulous self-catered apartments we’ve found throughout our many travels. Look no further – if you’ve stumbled across Kudos Villas you’re in for a treat.

    We have been fortunate to visit Kudos twice and have loved every minute of it. You do not want to leave the room despite the wonderful environs of Daylesford and Hepburn. Kudos is a special weekend away and a wonderful way to spoil yourselves.

    Had a fabulous stay at Kudos. A favourite on our list of weekend breaks. Attention to detail was spot on. Terrfic ambience in winter with the fire and open air spa. Truly relaxing and romantic. The location is fantastic, set in bushland with native birds and wildlife at your door or on the verandah. A short stroll to the Macaroni Factory and main street of Hepburn Springs. Its a piece of nature, tranquility, relaxation and five star hospitality in all one. Extraordinary.

We have stayed at other places in Daylesford before, and whilst they were nice, Kudos trumped them in every area. Think it might be time for another visit!

We’ve found that Kudos has everything we need i.e spa, cable tv etc. to make us right at home, but still taking us away from the daily grind! Modern chic, love it! A must visit, if you want to get away!

    Kudos is fantastic. Our getaway was organised Last minute and the staff got everything organised so quickly, from the accomadation to massages, and even leaving chocalates. The accomadation is not only beautiful, it was clean, and located in such a quiet area of Daylesford. The accomadation is amazing the pictures are exactly as it is, the lay out is outstanding and the spa in the lounge facing the huge plasma TV is an experience you want to take home and put in your own house, I could not recommend enough, one of the most relaxing getaways I have had in awhile.

    My partner and I stayed at Kudos Fire and it was by far the nicest place we have ever stayed. After searching for the perfect accommodation for our anniversary for months i knew I had finally found it when i looked at it, and with the special packages they offer my surprise for him turned into a surprise for me when we had in room massages and breakfast in town. Without a doubt the best weekend away we’ve ever had!

    A home away from home with all the features for a relaxing and fully catered for holiday. Including all the extras other destinations don’t include… quality, tasteful and complete. From a wonderful big comfortable bed, (essential) and a spa from which we watch a DVD/TV or the open fire, a BBQ and all the kitchen and electronic gadgets we could want. They have thought of everything and all the little things, to make our stay memorable and easy.

    The most awesome place! We stayed at the Nature villa for our one year wedding anniversary. We had so many plans to go and visit different places but didnt even leave the villa. We promised ourselves that we would go back each year and stay at a different villa to try them all out. Have told so many people to go stay there because we just loved it. Very relaxing especially to escape from the kids. Comfortable bed and great spa. A MUST STAY !!!!

Once you enter you don’t want to leave, I have told all my friends and family about the villas and they all are excited to go up their and feel the inspiration. Between the loveseats, the views, the big beautiful spas, its the perfect spot to be together and grow.

    We had just gotten married, and were looking for something affordable for a couple days. We had no idea we could stay in such luxury for the price! Every little detail –from the lighting, the bed, even the water feature by the immense spa bath– was thought out with great care, and made our Kudos experience something we’ll treasure for the rest of our lives. Each room flowed into another effortlessly, and the views from the back verandas are beyond compare. Though we stayed for only a couple of days, we returned feeling we had been on holiday for a month. We’re counting down the days when we can go back, and cannot recommend Kudos highly enough!

    I have been in most of the Kudos Villas and they are wonderfully designed and appointed. I would be hard-pressed to say which of the many villas is nicest. Hepburn Springs/Daylesford is a beautiful country destination. There is something very special about an outdoor tub and sauna for your private enjoyment. They think of everything at Kudos! I will be visiting them all as often as possible.

    My girlfriend Helen and I stayed at Kudos Villas over the Christmas/New Year period 08/09, we found the accommodation to be of exceptional quality and great value for money.
    What also impressed us was that Kudos was truly represented in the photos on the web, in fact the photos may not have quite done it justice.
    The setting, the central location and the attention to detail and quality make it a must if you are looking to holiday in the region. We would not hesitate to stay there again if we were to return to the region.

    Sep 25th, 2009 at 1:20 pm

    With three types of heaters; a love seat; and a double spa, how could my fiance so no!? When we arrived, there was soft music playing, heater on and the room was spottless. The town is fantastic, the people great. Could not be happier.
    I really recommend this retreat, a very romantic setting.

    Every three months, my fiance and i have a weekend away at a victorian b&b. Of all the places that we have been lucky enough to visit over the years, our stay at kudos villas was the most impressive. The modern, spacious interior contrasted beautifully with the natural surrounds, providing a feeling of warmth and romance and ascetic appeal. It’s close proximity to excellent eateries and the natural springs was a big draw card. i strongly recommend kudos to my friends.

    We spent a few nights at Kudos Indulge earlier in the year to celebrate a wedding annaversary. The accommodation lived up to our expections based on the excellent websight – only came across this idea by searching the web. The presentation of the villa was first class and the ammenities were just what we wanted for a quiet few days together.
    Our stay was during the bush fire concerns so the attention from rod during this tiem was also appreciated – even during this uncertain time we still enjoyed our visit very much.

    We stayed at Kudos during our honeymoon. We couldn’t have had a better place to start married life! The indulgent surroundings of the villa made our stay relaxing, refreshing, and fun! The furnishings were fantastic, we loved the outdoor bathroom and the love seat. However the feature we loved the most was the prominently placed spa in the middle of the villa!

    We stayed at Kudos Indulge for a couple night immediately after our wedding as a pre honeymoon. Wow…what an amazing place for an intimate romantic getaway. From the spa to the rustic country views from the balcony, perfect in every way. The service from owner Rod was also first class. Don’t bother looking any further for your ideal getaway accomodation….Kudos will fulfill everything you desire.

    Thank you once again Rod!

    We stayed at Kudos Villas for our 10th Wedding Aniversary. The stay was amazing, and the owners went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was as memorable as possible.

    I would not hesitate recommending them to anyone that needs to get away and feel as though they are being immersed in luxury.

    Kudos was recommended to my by my friend. I booked it in for my Valentine’s weekend and it was just perfect. An unforgettable weekend for us both. Loved Kudos, the decoration, love seats, surroundings, the whole atmosphere…. just perfect.

    I have stayed at Kudos now for 2 years in a row. Our favourite time to visit is winter where you can make the most of the luxuries contained in the Villas. It is pure bliss and a great place to visit to unwind from your day to day life. The environment will leave you feeling relaxed and you will dread having to check out. What keeps us coming back every year is the fireplace, spa and scenary.

    My fiancee and I intend to stay at kudos villas for every anniversary. We loved the setting, found it very romantic and the fact we never laid eyes on our hosts meant that we felt secluded from the outside world. Living in Melbourne we feel like we need a break from time to time from the busy city life and find that it is just so easy to unwind and relax in the spa and watch dvds on the big screen at a kudos villa.

    Kudos Nature exceeds many 5 star properties I have stayed at. From the moment I opened the door my expectations were exceeded; I was greeted with soft music playing, a water feature on behind the spa, the fire burning and the sun streaming through the gum trees. Every little detail was well thought out and appreciated, including the heart shaped chocolates on the bed, the local produce breakfast and the selection of cds/dvds. I loved the flexibility of being able to watch the fire or the tv from the love couch or the spa or the bed! The bean bag was also the biggest and most comfortable I have ever seen. I have been again, and I recommend this property to everyone looking for a couples retreat.

    WOW what an amazing place. We have stayed a few times now in different villas and I can truly say when we stay at Kudos we feel as though we are the only couple in the world. The guys have done an amazing place with the decor. Such a relaxing atmosphere. Well done we cant wait for our next stay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    A truely beautiful place to relax and rejuvinate the body and soul. As soon as we arrived we felt relaxed in the beautiful bush setting with modern facitilies. A great place to soak away the daily stressors of life and sip champagne amongst the trees. A must do place to stay for a romantic weekend getaway!

    It was like a 2nd honeymoon. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to escape the city life, a break from the kids and relax in tranquil settings. I’ve never felt more relaxed after a blissful weekend involving a theraputic massage in Kudos Fire Villa. You don’t even hear other guests staying in nearby villas. Cute little bag filled with all that is needed when taking a bath/shower. Bath robes and slippers included as well as wine and breakfast provisions. Their loveseats are truly one of the most comfortable facing a huge plasma, wish we could take it home as well as the bed/pillows. I look forward to a 3rd honeymoon.

    6 STAR LUXURY

    Stayed here with my girlfriend for my birthday and was blown away by how every little detail was thought of to maximise or comfort and pleasure. Have stayed at many 5 star B7B’s, hotels but this one is the best as it has the best of everything! Being able to watch the supplied romantic DVD’s from the spa was a lovely touch!

    I can’t wait to take my princess back maybe this time for her birthday!

    We spent a magical few days at Kudos Villa. It was so very refreshing to stay in that part of Victoria without being surrounded by doilies and ‘cottage’ craft. We felt very much that the space was our own. Very private and extremely comfortable.

    My wife and i are very busy people between work, the kids and day to day to life we rarely are able to just stop and enjoy each others company, so when we were able to get a weekend off at the same time i was able to surprise my wife and was able to whisk her away with no work and no kids just the 2 of us and it made the experience even more enjoyable as kudos seems to think of everything no interuptions by staff the spa in the middle of the room and to be able to just sit relax and either watch tv or the beautiful surroundings of the serene bushland all from the comfort of the bed the love seat or the spa it was an experience me and my wife will never forget and cant wait to return and try out the rest of the themed rooms so on behalf of me and my wife kudos we both thankyou.

    We spent one of our best and most memorable weekends away at Kudos Villas. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. The villas were pure luxury. Privacy, comfort, convenience and style was definitely taken into consideration. We had the pleasure of meeting Rod who was extremely accommodating and helpful. The service was immaculate. With restaurants in walking distance or the pleasure of cooking in your own villa. We simply didn’t want to leave.
    Most definitely will be back for another relaxing luxury retreat. P.S LOVE the love seats! a perfect feature.

The amazing love seat there is just so comfortable and sitting in the spa watching tv just makes the weekend. I couldnt have asked for much more, Thanks Kudos! Will be visiting again shortly!

    I surprised my husband with a weekend away and stayed at these lovely villas. It met all expectations, and then some. My husband was so impressed. The open plan space makes it feel so cozy and warm, the perfect place for that romantic weekend away. I’m always a sucker for watching tv whilst in bed, something I can’t do at home. Love this place and can’t wait to come back!

  443. 93 Wayne
    Sep 24th, 2009 at 3:32 pm

    If you want a weekend away, without seeing a sole other than the person you love, then this is the place to go. From arrival to leaving, the weekend away was great. The relaxation of the surrounding to the luxuries within the villa, was well above expectation. Only issue is trying to find a free weekend to return and a weekend where there is a vacancy. Would have to be the best weekend getaway I have ever gone on.

    Two words – Pure luxury. From the moment you arrive at these beautiful villas you feel at one with nature. . My husband and I love coming up to Daylesford and spending our weekends curled up together – The oppulent spa is absolute heaven and the love seat and fire is truly romantic. Sipping champgane on the deck as the sun sets is bliss. We love it here and can’t wait to head back to try out the next villa!. This place is 15 out of 10 – It is truly that great!

    My company specialises in international luxury travel. We stayed at Kudos Fire, and I can honestly say that this was a World Class experience from the moment we arrived right up to the time of departure. Luxury and attention to detail go hand in hand, and the attention to detail at Kudos fire was breathtaking. Decor, toiletries, music selection, cutlery and crockery, linen, fittings and the welcome notes were all presented with care and taste. From the point of sale right through to the experience itself, Kudos represented a style and product that is head and shoulders above the rest of the market. Fabulous in every way.

    Can you imagine a retreat where time really feels like it stops and you get the chance to completely reset your mind and body? Where the words luxury, miraculous, exquisite and exclusive just are not sufficient in describing how wonderful the place is.

    It sounds like stuff of fairytales I know and you would imagine an escape like this would well and truly blow the budget.

    Well, Kudos Villas are the exception.

    I just loved Kudos, we stayed at Kudos Water celebrating both my husband and mine 40th Birthdays away from the kids and normality. It was so romatic, with very quiet surroundings, something that we both desperately needed. We will be going back real soon and trying one of the other villas.

    Kudos has been created by some imaginative minds. Based on natures elements, the villas are created for the most luxious, relaxing and romantic getaway. Very tastefully designed and decorated inside and out and created to absorb and enjoy the best of mother nature outside. Kudos is one of the best places I have stayed in Australia!

    We Love Kudos,
    After my boyfriend and I stayed in Kudos ‘Water’ 3 years ago, we could not resist coming back for our 7th year anniversary! Although we loved ‘Water’ this time we stayed in Kudos Nature and could not believe it was better then we imagined.
    With the massive 2 person spa right in front of the huge LCD TV to the Twin Rain showers, to the massive bed and the Love Seat we didn’t leave all weekend!
    The dressing gowns were so soft and comfy matched with the champagne & chocolate, we were in bliss!
    We are definitely going back to Kudos for a 3rd visit!

    Ever since I came across this place on the internet it has become my dream destination. It is my ultimate idea of heaven! Each of these villas are the ideal haven for the most romantic experience ever. The combination of modern style with the luxury of fireplaces, spas, couches and beds in an open plan, means you will never be apart from your lover for a moment. I’d be in absolute bliss if I could lock myself up in one of these gorgeous villas for a weekend. It’s on my wishlist for my 40th!

    We had never stayed at a Kudos villa and picked the Temple for our 22nd wedding anniversary as it was the newest and looked spectacular. We were very impressed with how beautiful the place looked when we arrived – although we did have to ask them to come and clean the outside bath so we could use it – who could resist the chance to lie in a bath of steaming scented water outside in the middle of winter!!! The spa was perfect – and a great place to watch movies from (although we did feel we needed to shut the blinds as there was a house next door and we could always see their cars) – the projection screen was absolutely huge – so was the leather love lounge. The only down side was the bed – something that someone else felt the same about according to the comments here – it was WAY too soft – we kept waking up with dead arms! We stayed for three nights and by the last morning we were ready to get home for a decent sleep as we were starting to get a bit cranky!. Apart from the bed though, the place was wonderful – there are so many things to do in the area – it was quite a treat!

    Getting tired of the day-to-day routine of a full time job, my boyfriend and I decided we we’re long overdue for a holiday. My work college recommended Kudos & had me hooked in as soon as he explained the brilliant concept of having 9 very similar, yet 9 very unique villas which reflected it’s own element through it’s beautifully modern designs & interior. We travelled 2 hours by car & admired the view of the gorgeous green meadows & never-ending hills (definately a nice reality check & change to the usual city buildings we see daily). The drive through town was pleasant & everything was conveniently in range, from the local supermarkets, restaurants & pubs to the mineral spas, local attractions & horseriding! We were highly impressed by the photos on the website, but was still taken away when we saw the villa in person! Thank you for welcoming us with so warmly with love heart shaped chocolates & having cold beverages ready for us upon arrival. I honestly can not single out what we enjoyed most, whether it was the big LCD tv with surround sound, or the LOVE couches that we are considering purchasing for ourselves, or the very peaceful balcony with a beautiful day & night view, or the huge spa that we comfortably watched movies in or the huge king size bed that we slept like babies in! We hardly wanted to leave the villa because it was so comfortable & relaxing. Thank you for an unforgetable stay at Kudos Air, we will definately be trying the other villas soon!

    HOW AMAZING – and only 1 1/2 hrs from Melbourne. Kudos is pure luxury and indulgence and I would recommend this experience to anybody. The villas are so secluded, beautifully decorated, & incredibly comfortable, & breakfast was lovely. Not to mention the champagne you sip, in the very decadent spa. Do yourself a favour and experience KUDOS VILLAS, Victoria’s finest. Thanks Kudos.

    Words cannot explain “the Temple house”…i was lost for words when i opened up that door! There was such a good vibe..the place felt like heaven!
    i recommend the “temple” to anyone..from the soft bed, to the lovely spa..and the projector screen! Having breakfast on the terrace and then going for a lovely walk around hepburn! There are some fantastic attractions!
    i will never forget this place and what baffles me is..its only 1.5hrs away from where we live! cannot believe a place like this can be so short in distance! i thought travelling overseas would get me to a place like the temple..ubfortunately not :) ..all the best to those who choose to stay in kudos villas! we will be back very soon :)

    Sep 16th, 2009 at 7:49 pm

    When I first arrived at the villa I thought to myself, pretty average looking accommodation (on the outside). My partner opened up the door and I was in shock. How can something so beautiful exist just 1.5hrs from where we live? More importantly why had I not booked this earlier? Words do not explain the feeling this place gives you. I have stayed at many resorts/hotels/b&b’s – NOTHING COMPARES TO KUDOS!

    Heaven on EARTH!!! The owners of this place have defined the word RELAXATION in their properties!

    Sep 15th, 2009 at 10:15 am

    The “Temple” was great. My boyfriend organised a little extras: massage, love heart chocolates, bath robes, champagne & breakie…which made the experience extra special.
    We loved the love seat, projector screen, spa bath & rainshowers.
    The view was lovely!
    The only thing that wasn’t fantastic is the bed. The size was great but it sagged in the middle…not good for people with bad backs!
    Other than that, it was just endulgent.
    Thanks Kudos

    Beautifully designed & detailed to perfection! From the amazing love seats to the heart shaped chocolates around the house, Kudos was an amazingly romantic get away above all else and it most definitly exceded all our expectations.
    The peacfulness and tranquility of the villa, situated in just the right location to get a stunning view of the moon at night and a breath taking sun rise each morning!
    We went with 2 other couples and enjoyed the sites during the day. Spending time at the markets and walking around Hepburn Springs. As the sun was setting, we all retreated back to our villas and enjoyed watching foxtel and listening to music on that huge plasma tv, with the fire place alight, , all while sitting in the spaciously wonderful spa and sipping on champagne!
    Nothing has comapred to that weekend yet & i doubt ever will.
    Look forward to our next trip there- and the one after that.. and so on till we have stayed at all the Kudos Villas.

    This is a slice of heave just a stone’s throw away from home, the most magical place I have ever seen, even after travelling to quite a few places in the world this is by far the best place to stay. The Villas have everything you could ever want for a time away from the real world. Thank you to Kel and Rod providing such an amazing escape

    What an experinece! The villa had everything you could ask for and more. From the spa in the living room, to the log fire and the love seat. Not to mention the outdoor bathroom area. The romantic & relaxing touches meant that only a memorable time could be had. Will be back next Winter!

    This was a truly romantic getaway; the open plan living, open fireplace, loveseat, king size bed and spa all to be enjoyed whilst watching the huge plasma tv or listening to cd’s and cuddling with a drink and chocolates. What a way to spend the night!

  495. 41 Sharon
    Aug 25th, 2009 at 5:09 pm

    What a lovely experience. What a lovely villa. From the love seat to the fire, from the king size bed to the spa, it was indulgent and relaxing. Even the the little touches, like the soft throw blanket and the pamper pack added to the experience. Not to mention, chocolates, drinks, music and heater on when you arrive. Massages in your room are available as is a full meal (even a personal chef if you want it).

    It’s convenient to everything (not that you need to leave at all) and even includes discount vouchers to local restaurants.

    August 19

    Having stayed at Kudos Nature before with my husband, I knew I just had to book Kudos Secret when I found out that family was coming from overseas.
    We spent one night there and it felt like a few days. You can imagine how
    thrilled our family was when we were greeted by kangaroos as we drove into the property. From the moment we opened the front door, our family was truly impressed by the quality of the home. The beautiful bedrooms, inviting lounge with fabulous spa and the lovely open fire places. As we relaxed on the deck with our cups of coffee, our cousins took endless film of the kangaroos. I knew I had made the right choice in Kudos Secret. If your wanting to stay in Daylesford close to restaurants and all that Daylesford has to offer, look no further. Kudos Villas has something for everyone.

    A fantastic place for a romantic and rejuvenating getaway.You can enjoy massages great food and then retire to the elegantly furnished self contained villa. Features are open fireplace,spa and plasma television. Also very near to the holistic centre of Daylesford and surrounded by eucalypt forest with an abundance of walking tracks.

    My husband and I had a fabulous night at Kudos Air to celebrate his birthday. Snuggling up in on the luxurious leather day bed in front of a crackling fire was glorious. It was total luxury from the wonderful spa to the incredibly comfortable king size bed. The sound system was also brilliant. I am now organising a girls weekend at Kudos Secret. I can’t wait to go back

    We stayed at Kudos Waters over the 9th and 10th of August 2009. It was a lovely serene experience. A short stroll to pubs and restaurants, it has the facilities if you so choose to do all your own cooking .

    We were impressed with the cleanliness and also the deep two person spa. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay at Kudos again.

    We adored the Earth villa – a truly amazing luxurious experience. Nothing can beat a Winter weekend getaway with the spa, log fire, stunning views and modern features. We were so impressed and will be back for a romantic weekend next Winter for sure!

    Kudos Villas are truly an experience for those wanting seclusion, luxury and a style.
    The love seats are hard to get out of once you’ve nestled in and the spa is an even better way to view your favourite movie from.
    We are already planning our return trip for winter to sit in front of a beautiful log fire and look out to the gorgeous gully. No need to leave your villa with everything you need at your fingertips. Mind you, the parma at the corner hotel is something definitely worth sampling!

    The Kudos Villas are situated in Hepburn Springs with several different layouts. We stayed in the Villa called Fire and we felt very spoilt in the lap of luxury, with the King size bed, big screen entertainment system and the double Spa. We also found the service to be fantastic after requiring assistance in finding a lost engangement ring. Over all an exellent stay for a weekend away.

    When your feeling flat like the batteries have been pulled out of you it is refreshing to know that there is a place that allows you to stop, think, and recharge. I often think of our time at Kudos and cannot wait for the opportunity to return to again re-discover some of the simple pleasures in life. Like the company of those that we can sometimes take for granted, the enjoyment of conversation, the warmth of an open fire, the indulgence of a good book, the pleasure of a glass of wine and the appreciation for the finer things in life.

    What an incredible experience. From the grind of the city and the hectic life of corporate life it was incredibly refreshing to spend just a few days in the peaceful surrounds of Kudos Temple. With every initial intention to explore the historic area around Hepburn Springs and Daylesford, all motivation to leave this “Shangri-La” was lost as we suddenly remembered what pleasure there is in peace, tranquility and indulgence. The most disappointing thing about Kudos was… leaving.

    This is the 3rd year my boyfriend and i have celebrated our anniversary in Daylesford, this will be the 2nd at a Kudos Villa. The villas are extraordinary!!! We have had the luxurious priviledge of staying in Kudos Nature and this year we are staying in the brand new Kudos Temple. Not only are the villas amazing but the owners are very hospitable and more then willing to offer assistance when required. We are counting down the days until we can relax in the peace and tranquility of these villas. there is the option of luxurious romantic privacy or you can experience the amazing wildlife at your doorstep. i recomened these villas to anyone i speak to because they really are the best!!! i dont wanna say too much because i want these villas all to myself and i dont want to share. Once you have stayed at these villas its very hard going back to reality-but you do so can can visit Kudos again!!!!! the options available are also a great convenice-it makes the boys job easier when trying to organise some kind of romance lol!!!!

Kel and Rod have done such a wonderful job they have deck them out first class. We have stayed with the family as well. I also tell all my friends about them. When you stay with them they send you emails if you like to keep you up to date on any specials they do look after you very well. I would recommend any Kudos villas to anyone.

    Kudos villas provided us with the perfect get away after our wedding, not having to see anyone else meant that my husband and I could focus just on ourselves and made our holiday just that little bit more secluded and special. Kudos Fire was our pick and it contained everything we could want – comfort and luxury. Just perfect!

Kudos complete set-up is beautiful and the staff are amazing and friendly. Although if you have a look at http://www.kudosvillas.com.au and view the photos, they speak for them selves and you wont be able to stop yourself from booking a weekend at Kudos Villas.

    Yep, Kudos villas are without doubt the best accommodation I have experienced. Cant wait for the chance to get back. Its the best of both worlds – the surrounds let you enjoy the elements and bring you back to nature yet you are pampered like you’re royalty. Unbelieveable and unforgettable. Glad to have the chance to support the clever owners.

    Kudos has become one of our favorite destinations when we need that much needed ‘time out’ from the many stresses of juggling both family and professional lives. We have stayed at Kudos Air, Kudos Nature and more recently we took our 3 children along to share the experience at Kudos Secret. I have also enjoyed a few nights away with some girlfriends and we were able to have many chats over the odd glass of wine, uninterrupted!

    Absolute pure luxury – bliss – the best villas I have ever stayed at – scream 5 star, with everything you need, so much so that you don’t need to go anywhere else. The furnishings are exclusive, why wouldn’t they be, when you can jump in the huge spa in the middle of the lounge and watch a movie from the giant screen in the loungeroom, strategically placed of course, whilst sipping your favourite bottle of wine. We have now stayed in 3 of the 5 villas and will definitely be working our way through all of them. So far our favourite is Temple – everything about it looks and feels like a Temple. You can even share a double shower whilst overlooking the outdoor bathroom, which I’m sure would be perfect in the summer time. Winter time also catered for with the beautiful open fires and love seats. A high recommendation, worth every cent!

    Perfect for a romantic getaway, these villa’s are everything that you could imagine and more. Nothing disappoints! An open fire place sets the mood while you relax in the double spa with views of the huge plasma on the wall. Mood lighting and surround sound softly playing music makes for romance. After the spa, wrap yourself in a luxurious robe and curl up on the double day bed in the lounge in front of the fire for a movie. Then cook yourself a gourmet meal in the full equip kitchen. Finally. steal a moment on the balcony under the bright bright stars before retiring to the king sized bed that overlooks the lounge room. Absolutely amazing for a honeymoon or just a weekend away. It not only met my expectations but blew them away. This is the only place to stay in Victoria!!!

    The villas are absolutely amazing, It’s an open space, includes a fireplace, spa, widescreen t.v, and a fantastic couch called the “love seat”. The design of the villas are very modern and each villa has a different theme. The atmosphere was just great and very cosy.

    Drawing inspiration from the elements essential to life. With 9 differrent villas to choose from, Kudos Villas makes it very hard, All exceptional in their own way. Open fire places, modern bathrooms and kitchens, large spas to sink in, and wash all the worries and drink champagne and just embracing the noise of the wildlife surrounding the villas. Also around the corner you can pop in to the Hepburn Springs for a facial or a massage.
