In the cooler months, Daylesford has many charms – the seasonal produce on offer, the deciduous colours, the cosy layers to rug up in.

Gathered around the large open firepit, Lake House guests can ponder the day’s unfolding and enjoy the fresh air and lake views. Hot chocolate is served throughout the day for Lake House guests to enjoy and a selection of sips and snacks that can be ordered at leisure.

Pull up an Adirondack chair and linger in the outdoors a little longer.
