Dear Friends of Helix House,
Thank you for staying with us and enjoying the beauty of this place. This is to let you know that Helix House has been sold. It is now a private residence and will no longer be available as holiday accommodation.
Thanks also to the many people who have worked to make your stays so enjoyable: Dayget, the cleaning staff, the gardeners. It has been a joy to work together.
NO NEW BOOKINGS IN THE NEXT 2 WEEKS
Just quickly we wanted to let everyone know that Dayget is closing out availability for NEW bookings for the next two weeks following the move to Stage 3 restrictions that come into effect tonight.They are not cancelling existing bookings for this period, only preventing new bookings from being made. They will review this date as official advice changes.
Enjoy social distance at Helix House. Time to relax, a library of books, games, videos and CDs, internet and TV and almost 5 acres of land so you can wander in private.
At Helix House we are concerned to protect your health. The cleaning staff have taken, and passed, a special course with the Department of Health on cleaning and sanitising to a hospital standard. We will also be adopting a practice called “triple sheeting”. Instead of the attractive grey linen doona covers and pillow slips that blend with the natural stone of the walls, as illustrated in earlier photos, we will be using the method that is common in hotels of having a sheet either side of the doona. When guests depart the white sheets will then be laundered at a high temperature.
Time to chill out.
As a rule I miss the opportunities to photograph the wild life at Helix House. By the time I get my phone out the wallaby has hopped away, the echidna has turned its back on me, the bird has taken flight. Or animals that look life size to the naked eye, shrink into tiny wee dots, and I swear to the viewer it is a fox or a micro-bat. To which the viewer says "Yes, yes, I believe you but thousand wouldn't", in a sceptical tone.
But this koala stayed put. I took this photo in the street outside Helix House. I like the way he or she seems to be saying : "What is going on over there?".
Welcome to the New Year and the new decade.
Not too far to drive from Daylesford.
And it's less than two hours from Melbourne.
Da Dah!
Inviting you to have a happy Christmas at Helix House. The cake was baked and decorated by Hannah and the holly is from the garden.
A short visit to Helix House by an echidna. Are you wanting to take my picture? No way.
Will you see me at Helix House? Maybe you won't see a burrowing owl, but there are many birds and other creatures you will see.
Everything looks different from this angle
Spring is a beautiful time to visit Helix House.
Enjoy Mother's Day. If you stay over night at Helix House you might hear a mother possum and her little one scurrying across the roof.
Autumn does not disappoint in Daylesford 🍂

Thanks to Daylesford resident Robyn Lawrence for permission to share these beautiful pictures of autumn trees.
Best wishes for Easter from Helix House.
A birds eye view of the grapes at Helix House.(If you don't see any grapes left when you visit, you will know the birds enjoyed them very much).
The cumquat tree outside the kitchen window. In autumn the cumquats are not orange but rather dark green, almost black, on green.
Take a walk around Helix House and you never know who you might meet. Maybe this little fellow.
Echidnas love the fish pond area, as it teams with tiny ants, and also come down to the deck outside the laundry for a drink from the bowl under the tap. In the wilder areas of the property they are less easy to see, but you can hear them as a rustle in long grass, or spot the movement of the grass as they push their way through and snuffle around looking for ants.
Daylesford is one of the few places where "ducks on the road" is a viable excuse for being a little late. The ducks are so comfortable that they will gather on the road and when you try to drive mill around in front of you, some going off to the right, others going the off to the left. But then the ducks that went right see that others went to the left, and so turn around and cross the road again. And the ducks that went left turn to catch up with the ones that went right, and cross the road again, only to realise that the ducks they are following have now changed direction again. It takes some time to sort themselves out to give way to cars.
Get out your glad rags on and shake a tail feather at this year's Chill Out Festival, March 7-11.
