Daylesford’s quieter neighbour, a few minutes up the road. This is where the springs are.
Daylesford’s quieter neighbour
Hepburn Springs is a few minutes’ drive north of Daylesford, and it has a different feel. Daylesford is the more local, better-known town, with Vincent Street, the lake and most of the shops. Hepburn Springs is quieter, and it’s all about wellness.
The mineral springs that put this area on the map are here, in a beautiful park in the valley. The bathhouse is next door, and there are day spas and retreats around the village.
