DaylesfordAustralia

In Victoria’s Daylesford and Macedon Ranges region, natural mineral waters, forested landscapes and historic villages shape a relaxed wellness-minded break. Daylesford sits close to Hepburn Springs, where Hepburn Bathhouse & Spa offers mineral bathing in a historic bathhouse. Nearby, Hepburn Regional Park has walking routes past creekside scenery, springs and mining-era traces. The destination suits travelers who want restorative leisure rather than a medical itinerary: combine a bathing session with an easy-paced walk, then leave room for the town and its surrounding countryside.
