Daylesford is a village in the heart of Victoria's spa country. A stone's throw from Melbourne, it has long been a premier spa and rejuvenation centre.
With a population of just 3000, Daylesford's numbers swell as visitors flock to discover its gourmet local produce, Victorian-era heritage, mineral springs and spas.
Early Swiss-Italian and other immigrants who settled in Daylesford during and after the region's gold rush greatly influenced the gardens and architecture, giving the town a European feel. Today, visitors come to sample the rejuvenating mineral waters, stay in luxury accommodation, explore craft and antique shops, go boating on the lake, or just relax with a glass of wine and enjoy the fine dining.
