There is a 2-person spa in the ensuite. Being a small cottage, we only have a small hot water service. If you fill up the spa with hot water, you will need to wait 20-25 minutes for the hot water tank to refill.

Please also note that the Daylesford water can be a little more 'natural' and some sediment can come through the taps and spa jets. This is natural. The spa is cleaned and the spa jets flushed after every stay, so it is clean even if you see some natural sediment in the spa water.
