Major operating costs typically include cleaning, utilities, garden maintenance, firewood, maintenance, insurance, council rates and other property-related expenses.

Cleaning and laundry are the largest operating costs. Cleaning is currently approximately $50,000 per year and is handled by an external local provider.

The cleaning, laundry and turnover process is already coordinated through the current operating system, supplier relationships and automation.

Further cost detail can be reviewed as part of the private information pack and due diligence process.

The current operating rhythm has been designed to take around one hour per week to oversee.

Most of that time is spent handling exceptions, such as late checkout requests, early check-ins, special guest requests or maintenance coordination.

Cleaning, laundry, garden maintenance, firewood and turnover tasks are supported by local supplier relationships and documented processes.

Occupancy varies depending on seasonality, with strong demand through the winter months and growing demand through March and April.

In July 2026, occupancy was approximately 84%, with an average nightly rate of around $404 and an average reservation value of approximately $579.

Further occupancy, booking lead time, length of stay and pricing data can be reviewed in the private information pack.

Yes. One of the main appeals of LUXVUE is flexibility.

You may choose to use one villa privately and operate the other as short-stay accommodation, block out both villas for personal use, or let both villas operate when you are not there.

Yes. There is an additional room with two king single beds.

It is currently used for storage and operational support, but it may create future flexibility depending on how the buyer wants to use the property.

For example, it may support a private owner’s space, a two-bedroom stay configuration, or additional guest-use flexibility, subject to the buyer’s preferred setup, platform requirements and any relevant approvals.

Yes.

You can block out the dates you want to keep for personal use, then allow the villas to continue operating as short-stay accommodation when you are not there.

Yes. There is ample parking on site.

Yes. LUXVUE currently allows dogs, subject to the house rules.

The current setup is dog-friendly for suitable non-shedding dogs, which has been part of the appeal for some guests.

Yes, where availability allows.

Serious buyers are encouraged to experience LUXVUE as a guest before moving further through the process.

Most stays are typically two nights, although one-night stays may be available closer to the date, particularly midweek and subject to availability.

Staying at the property gives you a clearer understanding of what guests are already booking and reviewing: the fire, the lake views, the direct lake access, the walk for coffee, the quiet setting, the interiors and the overall guest experience.

Because LUXVUE is an operating short-stay property, traditional inspections need to be handled carefully around guest bookings and availability.

For serious buyers, the preferred way to experience LUXVUE is to book a stay where possible.

That allows you to assess the property the same way guests do — the lake access, the fireplace, the views, the interiors, the walk into town, the guest flow and the feeling of waking up on Lake Daylesford.

It is one thing to view a property.

It is another thing to stay in it.

Prospective buyers can request the private information pack first, then discuss availability and the best way to experience the property.

First, request the private information pack.

You will be able to review the revenue history, guest review summary, inclusions, handover details, price guide and EOI process.

From there, interested buyers can ask further questions, discuss availability, arrange next steps and submit a private expression of interest.

The current owners built LUXVUE from scratch, completed the renovations, created the guest experience, established the systems and grew it into a proven premium short-stay escape.

There is no urgent need to sell.

LUXVUE is being offered privately and off-market to find the right buyer, rather than being placed into a standard public real estate campaign.

Most Daylesford properties give you a beautiful place and leave you to work out the rest.

LUXVUE is already styled, photographed, reviewed, operated and loved by guests.

You are not starting from zero. You are stepping into a rare lakefront stay where the atmosphere, guest demand, supplier rhythm and operating process have already been built.
