WIN A Luxurious Daylesford Spring Getaway

We've partnered with Daylesford Macedon Tourism to help you discover this beautiful region and experience everything it has to offer.

A haven for those looking for a relaxing and luxurious escape, Daylesford Macedon Ranges truly comes alive in spring.

As the flowers begin to bloom, the region becomes the perfect weekend destination to slough away those winter blues. Embrace the sense of renewal and romance that comes with the change of season.

Boasting some of the best luxury accommodations and spas in the state, Daylesford Macedon tourism is giving you and a special someone the chance to win the ultimate spring getaway.

From indulgent spa experiences and rooms with panoramic views to guided tours and personalised dining experiences, here’s how you’ll be spending your time in Daylesford and Hepburn Springs if you win.

The luxurious escape includes a two-night stay at the Mineral Springs Penthouse, the newest addition to Hepburn Escape Villas taking decadence to new heights.

Once reserved for private use by the owner of Hepburn Bathhouse and Spa, a historical mineral spa retreat that offers the very best in indulgence, the penthouse is now available for those seeking a truly extraordinary escape. 

The newly refurbished penthouse boasts a private steam room, a lavish marble spa bath, and a fully equipped chef's kitchen. With two bedrooms and an open fire perfect for enjoying a glass of local wine from the room's own bar area, it's the perfect setting for a deluxe and relaxing getaway.

Guests can also relish the breathtaking, unparalleled views of the region from the expansive outdoor balcony.

Winners will also be treated to an indulgent, two-hour Japanese Bathing Ritual and Massage for two at Shizuka Ryokan, a traditional Japanese inn. After a warm welcome, a nakai-san will guide you to the traditional bathhouse and explain the ritual. Enjoy a cleansing, serene soak in magnesium-rich waters in the private timber outdoor bath, set within a walled Japanese garden, before your massage.

Explore the diverse and exciting collection of art, sculpture, ceramics, and collectibles at Bromley & Co., curated by six-time Archibald Prize finalist David Bromley and his wife Yuge Yu.

The space is a unique combination of art and sculpture gallery, as well as fashion and homewares, driven by the couple's love for all things creative. A visual feast, you'll be able to bring your favourite piece back home as a permanent reminder of your relaxing escape with a generous $500 voucher to spend on anything in the gallery.

Not only will you need to make sure you pack light to leave room for shopping, but you’ll need to arrive with an empty stomach too, with the luxurious Spring getaway including some of the Daylesford Macedon Region’s best gourmet experiences.

Indulge in a multi-course, à la carte lunch for two at the Two Chef Hat Lake House Restaurant, famed for its seasonal fare perfectly paired with one of Australia's best wine lists.

The restaurant is an icon in regional dining, with Culinary Director Alla Wolf-Tasker AM championing local cuisine with a menu designed to show off the best Daylesford has to offer. Working with small-scale local suppliers and growers, the team also sources ingredients from their own Dairy Flat Farm, home to five acres of vegetable gardens, an olive grove, an heirloom orchard, a vineyard, and a bakehouse.

With a menu designed to take you on a trip down the country lanes, orchards, and farm paddocks of the region, this will be a luxurious lunch to remember.

You'll also enjoy an extravagant and romantic four-course menu made with regionally sourced and seasonally inspired ingredients at Sault, one of the area's most striking restaurants. Toast to the good times with a complimentary cocktail (we love the sound of a Sault's Bramble) before taking a stroll through the beautiful gardens that surround the restaurant - including lavender and sunflower fields - which come to life in the spring.

Go behind the scenes at Hepburn Distillery with a guided tour and tasting where you'll learn about the local, organic and sustainably-focused production techniques used to create the award-winining gin and vodka.

With each batch unique, the distillery frequently experiments with flower for truly seasonal spirits. After enjoying the unique and flavourful products, take home two 500mL bottles of your choice and try re-creating one of the seasonal cocktails at home.

Still hungry? Enjoy a bite to eat, sample the ever-changing selection of craft beers or pick up a case to share with friends at Daylesford Brewing Co. Restaurant & Taproom, which is fast becoming a local favourite (we hear their infamous lamb ribs are a must try).

Paired beautifully with European-inspired wines, you'll also be treated to a French-inspired three-course lunch for two at Le Bouchon at Attwoods in the nearby hamlet of Glenlyon. Looking out over rolling hills and vineyards, it's the perfect place to relax, unwind and indulge.

Continue your journey through some of Daylesford's most gourmet experiences with an Italian dining experience at local institution Beppe Bar & Kitchen. With a menu that pays homage to the strong Italian communities of the Daylesford and Hepburn region, enjoy a hearty and traditional pasta or opt for takeout with a wood-fired pizza.

Daylesford Macedon Ranges tourism hasn't forgotten the most important meal of the day, with the prize also featuring a memorable breakfast at Cliffy's Emporium. Set inside a lovingly-restored 1950s general store, it's the spot to enjoy locally-grown produce and locally-made bread, pies and cakes.
