Visit Daylesford and the Macedon Ranges

Spectacular nature, world-class food and drink experiences, a vibrant artistic community, and our famed wellness offerings are some of what makes the Daylesford and Macedon Ranges a popular year-round destination.

For millennia, Indigenous people have seen the area as a place of gathering and healing. More recently, our region became known as the ‘spa centre’ thanks to the many natural mineral springs. In fact, 80% of Australia’s mineral water is found here.

From Daylesford to Hepburn Springs, Trentham to Woodend, Mount Macedon to Kyneton, with many villages in between, there is a huge amount to do – all packed into a small space.

The best bit, we’re only an hour or so from Melbourne. Come and explore our beautiful region, it’s the perfect place to unwind, recharge and rejuvenate.
