Lake House

Victoria's Spa Country is located around Daylesford where Australia's largest number of crystal-clear, effervescent mineral springs occurs providing water for myriad hydrotherapy and holistic treatments. Lake House stands on the shores of Lake Daylesford and is much in demand as a getaway. The food and wine has much to do with it. The restaurant delights can be savored al fresco on the broad terraces overlooking the lake in warmer weather. The affable lounges and bars display works by acclaimed artist Allan Wolf-Tasker.

The hotel's 33 rooms and suites are spread over the six-acre grounds, all with enchanting lake views, something you can also enjoy from the mineral water treetop tubs of the new Salus Spa. Heaven for lovers of good living! Put yourself in their hands, with twenty years of service excellence you can be sure your next break is relaxing and indulgent. Linger awhile in one of their rooms and suites. The Guesthouse Rooms are part of the original homestead of the property.
