Daylesford Accommodation.
Mineral springs, forest paths, long weekends
Daylesford and the Macedon Ranges are slow by design. Expect spa mornings, bakery queues, and architecture that hides in the gums.
About Daylesford.
Ninety minutes north of Melbourne, Daylesford sits in spa country, natural mineral springs that have drawn weekenders since the 1850s. The Hepburn Bathhouse remains the centrepiece; Lake House anchors the food scene; the surrounding bush hides some of Victoria's most considered country architecture.
Out from Daylesford, the Macedon Ranges (Trentham, Kyneton, Woodend) and the Pyrenees foothills give you a wider arc of wineries, restaurants, and country properties, many of them built into the granite or pressed into the gum trees.
