PAMPERING
The Daylesford and Hepburn Springs region is famous for its rejuvenating mineral spa treatments. Aside from the
well-known Hepburn Bathhouse & Spa, there are plenty of places to pamper yourself:
Albert St, Daylesford; 10am-6pm Mon-Fri, 9am-7pm Sat, 10am-5pm Sun) Start with a vitamin-rich mud
body mask followed by a hot-stone foot massage, then finish with a rose milk spa bath.
5/11 Howe St, Daylesford) For a modest, down-to-earth alternative to the glitz-and-glam spa resorts, try this
place.
Main Rd, Springs Retreat, Hepburn Springs) Have an exfoliation with Australian desert salts, an algae gel wrap,
or relax in the lavender-infused steam room.
Daylesford) The pampering starts as you walk through a small rainforest to your exotic jasmine-flower bath in a
cedar-lined tree house overlooking the lake.
Hepburn Springs) Shiatsu massage and spa treatments with natural sea salts and seaweed extracts feature at this
Japanese-style country spa retreat.
