The Tailor Destinations

Daylesford

Natural mineral springs and quaint historic villages

The Daylesford region in Victoria is the perfect place to unwind and rejuvenate

The Daylesford region is abundant with towering escarpments, fern-framed waterfalls, rolling hills and row upon row of vineyards and lavender fields, a truly picturesque destination.

From the summit of Mount Macedon, guests can experience spectacular views out over Melbourne. They can also discover the Hanging Rock, a six-million-year-old dormant volcano and one of the region’s most celebrated landmarks.

Another of the region’s icons is the natural mineral water springs, of which Daylesford has the largest number of. These waters and the surrounding areas have long believed to be a significant place of healing by the local indigenous Australian people.
