For that special Easter and Autumn getaway, Daylesford and the surrounding region offers an exciting playground for both adults and children.
As summer draws to a close there are many signs that nature is gearing up for the next season. And what a spectacular season it is!
A dazzling display of gold or crimson leaves is one of the defining features of autumn. It’s a lovely time of year to explore one of the most fantastic regions in Victoria.
OUTDOOR ADVENTURES
There are mountains and fells to climb, forests to conquer, lakes and creeks to play in, on and around. Picnic on a tranquil lake-shore or a top Mt Franklin. Checkout the waterfalls, bush walks, bike rides + more.
WALKING IN DAYLESFORD
There’s an abundance of scenic walking routes – whether you fancy tackling the Gold Fields Track or taking a leisurely stroll up and down the main streets exploring our boutique stores.
FOOD & DRINK
The region is filled with characterful gastropubs, cosy cafes, and excellent bistros that feature lots of local, seasonal ingredients on the menu. The whole area is a veritable feast for foodies – especially as there are a number of fabulous restaurants to choose from.
To kick start the day – step back in time and head over to Cliffy’s for exceptional coffee, local produce and good old fashioned service.
