Miners’-town-turned-health-retreat, Hepburn Springs gives so much in the way of natural wonders.
Only a short 10-minute drive north of Daylesford, the small-town vibe of Hepburn Springs is packed full of charm, be it on the plate, in the spas or in the lush the bushland.
The village itself may be compact, but it comes bursting with character.
Edwardian architecture dominates the streetscapes, and the influence of Swiss Italian culture still resonates throughout, particularly in the food and bathhouses.
