Hepburn Springs, and its surrounding areas, boasts the greatest concentration of natural mineral springs in Australia. The curative affects of mineral water are well-known, and used to great advantage by the many spa resorts and day spas located in the region.

Pools which utilize the soothing waters are numerous, and offer a variety of indulgent treatments. These include a floatation pool, relaxation pool, large mineral springs pools and private mineral baths. The pampering is further extended through a choice of other specialized experiences. Vichy shower rooms, monsoon showers, thermal rooms and spa couches submerged under the therapeutic waters all provide the opportunity to leave the stresses of the week behind. You can also choose from an array of additional treatments. Massage techniques can be both therapeutic and relaxing. Lomi Lomi, remedial, hot stone and Thai are some of those available.

Combining other body treatments with a body massage heightens the relaxation and pampering experience. Clay body wraps, Chinese cupping, and steam infusions are some of those to choose from.

An extensive range of facials allows you to choose one or more which suit your needs or wants. Hydrating facials add moisture to dry or sun-damaged skin, whilst exfoliating and refining masks give a fresh glow to all skin types. Each will leave your skin feeling renewed and refreshed. The relaxing benefits of an additional facial massage would also add to the decadence.

The region is also famous for its range of organic and gourmet produce. More than ninety properties offer direct sales to the public. Fernleigh Farm sells free-range meats and organic vegetables, including rarer heritage varieties, whilst Tuti Springs has smoked and fresh trout. Lavandula Swiss Italian Farm allows you to learn about the olives and lavender grown on the property, together with the sensory experiences of walks through the lavender fields and herb gardens. The cottage and pottage gardens offer further walks to delight the senses, and the farm’s shop sells a myriad of uniquely Australian lavender and herb-based products, such as lavender lollies, pot pourri, facial products, lavender pillows and dried herbs. Lavender scones are a unique taste sensation offered on the farm, and worthy of a special trip to experience!

Hepburn Springs accommodation, together with Daylesford and the surrounding Macedon Ranges are only a 1.5 hour drive from Melbourne, yet offer a truly relaxing time away from the business of the city.
