Hepburn Springs
Stay amongst the trees in Hepburn Springs
A forest home in Hepburn Springs
Stormhaven sits on the forested edge of Hepburn Springs, where native bushland, mineral springs and the small rituals of spa country come together. It is a place for guests who want room, privacy and a calmer pace.
From here, the region opens easily: morning walks, a long lunch, a bathhouse visit or an afternoon amongst the shops and restaurants of nearby Daylesford. Then it is back to the trees.
A useful base for a springs weekend
Choose Stormhaven when the accommodation matters as much as the outing. The whole three-bedroom house gives up to six guests room to spread out, with multiple living spaces, a well-equipped kitchen and outdoor decks for the parts of the day you spend at home.
Because the Lodge is on a forested edge rather than in the village centre, plan to drive between the house and your chosen springs, bathhouse or walk. That small distance is part of the appeal: outings feel close, while the return is quiet and private.
A day in Hepburn Springs
A considered Hepburn Springs day can start with the mineral springs or a booked visit to Hepburn Bathhouse & Spa, then move at an unhurried pace through lunch and a bush walk. Check current opening times and booking requirements directly before you go, especially during school holidays and busy weekends.
Back at Stormhaven, the deck and the acre of native bushland give the afternoon somewhere to land. In cooler weather, gather around the fireplace or the downstairs wood heater; in warmer months, let dinner stretch outdoors.
Who the accommodation suits
The layout works for couples travelling together, families who want separate bedrooms, and small groups looking for a shared base rather than separate hotel rooms. Three bedrooms, two living areas and a kitchen make a longer weekend feel comfortable as well as scenic.
It is also a good fit for guests who want to combine spa-country plans with time that is intentionally unplanned. Bring breakfast supplies, leave room for a slow morning, and use the Lodge as the place between experiences rather than somewhere only to sleep.
