Near Daylesford
Five minutes from Daylesford. A world away from everything.
A quieter base near Daylesford
Stormhaven is in Hepburn Springs, approximately five minutes from Daylesford. It gives you an easy way to enjoy Daylesford’s restaurants, makers, markets and shops, then return to a quieter place held by native forest.
For a weekend away in Victoria, it is a rare balance: close to the town you come to explore, yet far enough into the trees to feel properly away.
Close to town, settled amongst the trees
The short drive into Daylesford makes Stormhaven practical for a food-and-culture weekend without making the accommodation feel urban. Leave the Lodge for coffee, galleries, shops or lunch, then come back to the deck, the garden and the treetop outlook when you want a quieter hour.
This arrangement is especially useful for groups who do not all want the same itinerary. One person can browse the town while another reads by the fire, and everyone still has a comfortable place to meet at the end of the day.
Build a Daylesford day around your pace
Start beside Lake Daylesford or in Wombat Hill Botanic Gardens, then make the town the middle of the day: a long lunch, independent makers, galleries or a market morning when the dates line up. Keep the route flexible and check current market schedules, opening times and bookings before setting out.
Daylesford is at its best when there is room between stops. Stormhaven gives that breathing space a natural shape: a forest morning before town, a return to the house in the afternoon, and dinner prepared in the kitchen or found locally.
Accommodation for a shared weekend
For up to six guests, the three-bedroom Lodge offers the privacy of a whole house with the ease of shared spaces. The kitchen supports a slow breakfast or local produce brought home from the region, while the living rooms give everyone options when the weather turns cool.
Choose it over a room in town when you want Daylesford on the doorstep but not outside the window all night. The forest setting, outdoor dining and fires create a destination in their own right, not just a convenient place to stay near Daylesford.
