Perched on a sprawling two-acre estate, The Daylesford Dairy House offers an ideal country getaway just moments from the town center. This vintage beauty retains its stunning period charm, featuring 4 bedrooms, including one with a private ensuite and bay window, alongside two queen bedrooms and a fourth bedroom with two single beds. It's your perfect retreat for up to 8 guests. Relax in the lounge room with its roaring wood fire, two big couches, a chase lounge and a vast selection of books and games from the library. The formal living extends to an open-plan kitchen/meals with a host of quality appliances, and an island bench. Head out to the alfresco setting on the north-facing deck with a BBQ, and take in those fantastic native Australian bush views and admire the kangaroos grazing. The property is dog friendly with a secure yard at the rear of the house. With the Goldfields Walking Track at your doorstep, mineral springs, and all of the town’s amenities within walking distance, there is plenty to experience. Or you can simply bask in the sun on the northern deck, pour yourself a wine or run a bath. Once an original Dairy House in Kew, this Victorian home is now yours to enjoy in this serene location in Daylesford.

The Daylesford-Hepburn Region is famous for its mineral waters and is known as the Spa Centre of Australia. Our beautiful scenery includes the famous Lake Daylesford, the Wombat Hill Botanic Gardens and the Wombat State Forest. There are historic buildings in the main street of Daylesford and the region’s history lies in the rush for gold. Lake Daylesford now covers land upon which gold was first discovered and offers lakeside picnic spots, cafes, walking tracks, fishing and pedal boating. The internationally known Lake House sits on its shores and there are public BBQ facilities and amenities adjacent to the main parking area. Lake Jubilee is located south of Daylesford (about a 10-15 minute drive) and is ideal for fishing, boating and swimming. If you are looking for a waterfall, visit Sailor’s Falls, less than 30 minutes south from the Daylesford Town Centre. If you are into the outdoors, Daylesford sits at the junction of three walking trails that are part of the Great Dividing Trail – the Lerderderg Track, the Dry Diggings Track and the Wallaby Track. The Hepburn Regional Park is a little less challenging and contains mineral springs and relics of the bygone gold era.
