The Lake House (Daylesford)

The Lake House, is a popular haunt of the seasoned traveller and one of Australia's most highly awarded gourmet retreats. Positioned on the shores of Lake Daylesford which is an easy 80mins from Melbourne's CBD and just under an hour from Melbourne airport, the Lake House is a tranquil retreat in a spectacular setting, away from the stresses and distractions of the city, Lake House is the perfect choice for you to relax. Indulge yourself with award winning cuisine. Have a local winemaker guide you through a wine tasting in the cellar room. Enjoy a group fly fishing lesson and have their chefs barbecue your catch for dinner. Take a swing at the golf course, paddle a canoe or jog along the many bush tracks.

The lake house is a place for all seasons. Spring and summer provide an abundance of flowers, fruit and vegetables from the local growers. There is the opportunity to dine alfresco overlooking the water.

The gloriously coloured European trees planted by the area’s original Swiss Italian settlers frame autumn’s clear crisp days.

Winter's frosty alpine air encourages walks through mist-laden valleys alongside rushing streams and waterfalls, returning to the warmth and comfort of the lounge with its open fire. Linger awhile in one of the thirty three rooms and suites, take a few days to recharge in the fresh air.

Enjoy a quiet read in the spacious lounge or on the terraces overlooking the water. Have a hit of tennis followed by a massage and some soaking in the Salus Spa.
