Daylesford and Hepburn Springs

Victoria

Claiming the title of the Spa Capital of Australia, Daylesford and Hepburn Springs are known for their mineral waters, afternoon teas, and stately homes. A massive volcanic basin filled with water lies beneath the area. Minerals and gases are naturally added to the water as it rises through the porous rock.

The Lake Daylesford Central Springs Reserve offers a variety of springs, and public pavilions, and you can sample the different qualities of the springs. Hot spas and massage are available at the Hepburn Springs Spa Complex. Swimming is permitted at the Hepburn blowhole.
