Daylesford is one of Australia’s few spa towns, nestled in the foothills of the Great Dividing Range just over an hour from Melbourne. Known as part of “Spa Country”, the region boasts more than 65 mineral springs, the greatest concentration of naturally occurring mineral waters in the country. For thousands of years, First Nations Australians have understood the healing power of this land. The discovery of gold in the 1850s saw Daylesford grow rapidly, and its history is still visible in its charming streets and the extensive Daylesford Museum. Surrounded by rolling hills and vineyards, the area is renowned for cool-climate wines and local artisan produce. Visitors are drawn to its peaceful landscapes, historic treasures and vibrant creative community. Nearby, Wombat Hill Botanical Gardens and the Wombat State Forest offer tranquil walking trails with views that capture the essence of this uniquely restorative region.
