Our priority is to ensure the health and safety of our team members, housekeepers and contractors and especially you, our guests. We are constantly reviewing our processes and procedures according to the latest government health and safety advice.

As such we have implemented the following additional health and safety measures to minimise the spread of COVID19 and ensure that you have a happy and safe time away.

Contactless Check-in

To minimise contact with our team members and reduce foot traffic in our booking office, we have moved to contactless check-in. This means that you can proceed directly to your property on the day of arrival. Prior to arrival, you will receive a registration form via email that can be completed online. Once completed, details on check-in and key access will be provided.

Enhanced Cleaning Protocols

Our housekeeping team members are taking every precaution to ensure that the highest possible hygiene standards are maintained at each property including:

Disinfecting all frequently touched surfaces including door handles, faucets, appliances, light switches, TV remotes, kitchen surfaces, bedside tables, keys, etc.
Bed sheets are laundered to hospital-grade standard.
Housekeeping team members utilising PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) in accordance with Worksafe recommendations and following strict personal hygiene measures

24 Hour Booking Buffer

Wherever possible*, properties are vacant for a minimum of 24 hours prior to every check-in to minimise same day changeovers (different guests checking in and out of a property on the same day).

How to Contact Us

For the health and safety of our team, we have temporarily closed our shopfront however we are still available to assist guests by phone or email every day during business hours and can be contacted on 03 5348 4422 or by emailing bookings@dayget.com.au.

* 24-hour booking buffer: a 24-hour booking buffer is placed before and after all bookings for the period 1st June – 31st JANUARY 2021 whenever possible at participating properties. This does not apply to any existing bookings and same day changeovers that were already in place before the 24-hour booking buffer was implemented so whilst the majority of bookings will have a 24 hour period of vacancy prior to check-in, this will not be possible for every booking in this period. If you would like to check if there is a 24-hour booking buffer prior to your intended arrival, please contact our team before placing your booking, on 03 5348 4422.

Keeping Our Community Safe

We very much look forward to welcoming you to Daylesford and the Macedon Ranges. Tourism is the lifeblood of our region and is vital to our local economy. We look forward to the return of loyal guests and welcoming new visitors to discover all that our wonderful region has to offer.
Like many regional communities we have many vulnerable residents and access to health care is limited. We therefore ask all Dayget guests to follow the public health and safety guidelines to minimise the spread of COVID19 in our local community.

Social Distancing

When out and about in our region, please adhere to the social distancing guidelines, remaining 1.5m from others at all times.

Hand Sanitiser & Hygiene

Please follow the recommendations for regular hand washing and sanitising and always use cough etiquette.

Unwell? Do not Travel. Stay at Home.

If you are unwell or displaying any symptoms, please don’t risk it and do not travel. Follow the official health advice; stay at home and seek medical advice.
