Option（your owner costing $50pp）：
Hepburn Springs and Daylesford is part of a tradition dating back more than 100 years.
The region boasts more than 140 natural mineral springs, and it was these as much as the prospect of easy riches that attracted the first wave of Swiss Italian migrants to the area.
Option 2 :Peppers Mineral Springs Hotel
Rich in magnesium, calcium and silica, among other minerals, the region’s springs are believed to cure all sorts of afflictions, from acne to arthritis. By the early 1800s, the locals were aware of these health benefits and lobbied the local council to halt sluicing for gold to protect the water. That lead to the creation of the Mineral Springs Reserve in 1865 and, in 1895, the Hepburn Bathhouse was built.
Restoring the balance
Enjoy a total body experience with wellness options complementing myriad spa treatments, from Daylesford to Hepburn Springs and Kyneton.

Daylesford & Macedon Ranges
Daylesford & Macedon Ranges Travel Description
The Macedon Ranges region is located to the north and north-west of of Melbourne.
This region boasts the largest concentration of natural mineral springs in the country due to its location in a mountainous area formed by volcanic activity.
The majority of the springs are concentrated around Daylesford and Hepburn Springs, with this area being known as spa country - a centre for natural health treatments based on the therapeutic properties of mineral water. Many springs are located in public parks, allowing visitors to freely sample and bottle the water.
The towering peaks of Mount Macedon and Hanging Rock are part of a 6 million year old dormant volcano. This area was a popular summer holiday escape for Melbourne's affluent residents of the 19th century as they built lavish mansions with beautiful gardens in this cool forested area.
Many historic towns in this region have retained their early European influence, offering visitors a unique visual and culinary experience.
