“What matters here is space, fresh air and sunlight, elements in abundance that encourage vitality and health in ways that many countries could only dream of.”

Billionaire Magazine

This is a destination for true culinary travellers.

Guests choose to experience an elegant hotel-style stay at Lake House with infinity pool, day spa and world class restaurant – just a few minutes’ walk to the village of Daylesford and immediate access to the lake shores. Or they can enjoy the privacy and exclusivity of the 40-acre Dairy Flat Farm, fully serviced from breakfast to night cap, just 10 minutes down the road form Lake House.

At Lake House, studios, suites and villas cascade amongst 6 acres of country gardens to the lake shore. Spaces are individually furnished, full of art & soul, with original canvases by the late and highly regarded artist Allan Wolf-Tasker, as well as those of other artists from this culturally rich region.

The Library Bar is a popular place to gather for a drink, with plenty of culinary and garden inspired books and games. It’s the prelude to a memorable meal in the Lake House Restaurant where beautiful seasonal produce shines in a multi course a la carte menu.

Guests can visit The Spa which focuses on hydrotherapy utilising the region’s famed mineral water as well as Ayurvedic Facials and Signature Botanical Rituals.

As the sun sets, the Lagoon Deck are popular places to gather or in the cooler months the open firepits beckon on the lake shore.

“Lake House represents something much more: a lifetime commitment to excellence that transcends fads and fashion.”

Both properties offer guests a wonderful sense of place.

Dairy Flat providing the fruit, vegetables, herbs and flowers for both Lake House and the Lodge, as well as honey, olive oil, olives, cider and wine; not to mention slow fermented sourdough baguettes, loaves and viennoiserie from the bake house. A tour of the farm, vineyard, olive grove and bake house is available for guests of both properties.

A stay at Dairy Flat Lodge may begin with a morning walk down country lanes, freshly baked croissant from the onsite bake house in hand. A hearty country style breakfast awaits you on your return.

Dairy Flat Lodge itself includes six individually keyed hotel style suites, designed and decorated utilising the region’s best artists and craftsman. Here guests are fully serviced by the Lake House team including an onsite concierge who caters to their every need, prepares meals, and arranges activities and on-and-off farm experiences.

For groups booking the entire Lodge (a popular choice), a private chef from the 2 Chef Hat Lake House Restaurant creates a special menu, or a beautiful Farmhouse style dinner can be prepared. Gone fishing? Chefs will prepare the guests’ catch.  There’s nothing like freshly barbequed trout with a fresh leaf salad form the farm on a summer night…

Almost 40 acres of gardens and farmland are there for guests to explore; meet the alpacas, peacocks, geese, guinea fowl, cows and at twilight, resident kangaroos, wombats and more.

There are electric bikes for guests to use to visit neighbouring wineries, mineral springs or the cidery; fishing rods, outdoor games, firepits, hot tubs and telescopes for gazing into the depths of those famous starry skies.
