Some suggestions for dinner:
The Farmers Arms pub (Crn of midland hwy and east st)
Pancho (on Vincent St) for the best coffee & breakfast in town!
Daylesford Hotel

The Mill Markets is quite close to our property. Its a massive second hand and all things collectible market that would take days to see it all. There are great deals to be had there. There is a fabulous cafe on site.

Walk from our place up Tablehill Rd and it joins into a trail network. The walk into town up the creek, by the lake is amazing. Directions: turn right at the driveway heading south. Walk all the way down the street and it turns into a dirt road down the hill. At the bottom of that turn left to follow the trail to the Lake or turn right and over the hwy to go to Tipperary Springs. If you turn left remember to bring empty water bottles with you so as to taste test the mineral water that you pump straight out of the ground. Not a long walk, maybe ½ to an hour depending on how fast you walk.

Explorin The Amazing Mill Markets

I spent an entire afternoon getting lost here - and what an awesome spot to get lost in! I tried on several outfits and loved sniffing all the old books! Open 7 days a week with a cafe and toilet facilities inside. Give yourself plenty of time to discover this wonderland.

Lake Daylesford

Picturesque Lake Daylesford, is close by where you can rent a canoe, have a swim or just soak up the sun with a picnic on the grassy banks.

Love Bridge Lake Walk And Natural Springs

The Daylesford walk is an easy one with several natural paths to see all kinds of different things. I followed my heart along the love bridge and placed a locket on the bridge with the other hopeful hearts and followed the signs down to the springs. There's a waterfall and BBQ park area too. I followed along the river towards the Sutton Mineral Springs and had a taste of the water and followed the loop back around to the lake. Was real nice and lovely!

Trentham Falls

Discover the beautiful and lush Trentham Falls, Victoria's highest single-drop waterfall. The falls were formed some five million years ago by molten lava rapidly cooling as it flowed along the old Coliban River valley.

Trentham waterfall cascades 32 metres onto the quartz gravel below. Located in the Wombat State Forest, this natural wonder is particularly enchanting in winter when every moss covered rock and fern glistens with water. The Trentham Falls Reserve, located on the Great Dividing Range is the perfect place to enjoy a picnic by the river. There are great facilities, including picnic tables, barbecues and toilets nearby.

Mountain Bike Riding

The Wombat State Forest one of the best places in Victoria for mountain bike trails, with more than 100km of single track to explore.

Bushwalking At Wombat State Forest

The property backs onto the Wombat State Forest which has an abundance of walking trails. Explore the moss-covered Wombat State Forest and spend some time getting back to nature. Located between Woodend and Daylesford the state forest is approximately 70,000 hectares of beautiful bushland. Spot wildlife such as kangaroos, wombats, wallabies, echidnas, koalas and many species of birds.
