Known by many as “Spa Country”, the rolling hills and farmland of Daylesford and the Macedon Ranges are home to the greatest concentration of naturally occurring mineral springs in Australia. For thousands of years, First Nations Australians have known the healing powers of this natural landscape.
We acknowledge and pay respect to the Dja Dja Wurrung people, the Traditional Custodians of the land upon which Lake House stands. In sharing elements of their history, heritage and culture we acknowledge the Dja Dja Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation and their connections to Country.
Daylesford boasts the largest concentration of holistic therapists in the southern hemisphere. Surrounded by the Wombat State Forest, it is a place of breathtaking scenery, with a strong regional food and wine culture, a myriad of historical wonders and beautiful country villages.
Along with the plentiful mineral springs, food and wine are consuming passions in Daylesford, and with good reason. There’s a plethora of experiences to be had in ‘meeting the locals’ be they brewers, cider or winemakers, farmers, smallgoods producers or even beekeepers.
Thirty-three rooms, suites and villas cascade down to the foreshore providing guests with immediate access to the lake shore and the Wombat State Forest beyond. Each space at both Lake House and Dairy Flat Lodge boasts artwork by the late and highly regarded artist and co-founder Allan Wolf-Tasker.
