The season of warmth, abundance and celebration is here in Australia. It’s a time for reflection and connection with nature when the gravitational pull of the trees and bodies of water peak at Lake House, Daylesford.   

Think lazy mornings with room service (perhaps with perfect poached fruit Danishes in bed?!) or full breakfast on the terrace in the sunshine. Days spent between the infinity pool and the day spa, with a book from the library to keep you entertained on the lagoon deck.

An afternoon shopping in the village, country picnics in the Botanic gardens and long sunset walks around the shore or through the forest (you may stumble upon one of the local favourite natural swimming holes). As the warmth of the sun fades and the starry skies emerge it’s time for dinner – and what a bounty summer brings.

At Dairy Flat Lodge and Farm, delicate elderflower emerge early in the season, sweet peas and stone fruit ripen and berries are abundant as the months heat up, along with plump tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, zucchini and more.

If you are planning to stay at Lake House or Dairy Flat Lodge over a weekend this summer, why not extend and make it a long weekend and opt in for their Monday Lunch and Farm Tour.

Join a complimentary guided tour of Dairy Flat Farm – just minutes away – followed by a multi course a la carte lunch in Lake House’s dining room overlooking the lake each Monday throughout summer (including the Australia Day public holiday).

The 45 minute tour, commencing at 11.30am comprehensively covers all the regenerative practices and offers in-depth insights into the working farm garden.

You’ll meet the bakers and probably run into resident guinea fowl, geese, peacocks, alpacas, Maremma puppies and British White cows from friends at Brooklands Regenerative Farm.

Please select “Farm Tour” when making your lunch reservation, and please note: your selected restaurant reservation time will still apply.
