Lake House – Luxury Lodges of Australia
Lake House
Daylesford Luxury Lodge Accommodation
Lake House lies on the shores of picturesque Lake Daylesford in the heart of Victoria’s Spa Country just 90 minutes from Melbourne. The village-like cluster of cream buildings nestle in amongst 6 acres of towering trees, country gardens and winding paths. These cascade to the foreshore providing guests with direct access to lake walks and the Wombat Forest beyond.
Daylesford is a regional food mecca, a status that has been inspired and developed by the co-owner of Lake House Alla Wolf-Tasker AM. The pretty as a picture village of Daylesford, hilly and replete with church spires and interesting heritage buildings, is a short walk from the property. Its eclectic mix of artists’ studios, cafes, galleries and interesting shops exudes a sophisticated bohemian vibe and reflects an interesting and creative local community. The village is surrounded almost on all sides by the flora and fauna rich Wombat Forest. Only a few minutes away from the hub of cafes and good bookstores of the main street, wallabies and wombats populate the pristine bush environment, kookaburras fly in to be fed and flocks of gang gangs and cockatoos circle overhead.
The local region, justifiably referred to as Australia’s ‘Spa Country’ boasts the largest concentration of natural mineral springs in Australia as well as the largest number of holistic therapists. “Wellness” is a serious preoccupation here, with an incredible variety of beauty and health treatments on offer. Lake House’s onsite The Spa flies the flag for indulgent treatments and pampering, its secluded location amongst tall trees, bubbling creeks and an outlook from its hot mineral spas over the lagoon and foreshore speaks of serenity and retreat.
Located a short 10-minute drive from their flagship hotel, restaurant, spa and the village of Daylesford, lies the specially designed and curated Dairy Flat Farm & Lodge. Featuring original art and furniture commissioned by local makers accommodates up to 12 guests in six private King Suites, the property is surrounded by rolling hills, the Wombat Forest, mineral water springs and productive farmlands. Produce is grown, picked and harvested from Dairy Flat Farm, their own 38-acre regenerative growing facility. Five acres of developed vegetable and cutting gardens are flourishing, a planted orchard of 300 trees; an existing repaired olive grove of 200 trees and a similarly attended to, a two-and-a-half-acre vineyard plus a glasshouse and bakehouse providing produce, inspiration and treats directly to Lake House daily.
Lake House boasts one of Australia’s most highly awarded restaurants and a New York Wine Spectator award winning wine list and cellar of some 13,000 bottles. The menu offers modern Australian cuisine paying homage to the region’s excellent seasonal produce. Local and seasonal may be a marketing mantra nowadays, but the ‘sense of place’ philosophy that imbues all of Lake House has operated here from day one.
