BALLARAT REGION

The tree change you are looking for!

Daylesford, 108km north-west of Melbourne, is a charming country town that could be the tree-change you are looking for! Nestled between the large regional cities of Ballarat and Bendigo in the Macedon Ranges, the landscape here is rich with forests, rolling hills, lakes, and winding country roads.


Residents of Daylesford can enjoy a slower pace of life with a fabulous tight-knit, and diverse community. Tullamarine Airport is one hour away, and Melbourne’s CBD is easily accessible within a 90-minute drive. Daylesford has several primary schools and a secondary school. It also has good childcare options and kindergartens.


The town was established in1852, initially as a gold mining town. Yet, today it's well known as a place of healing and relaxation thanks to its close proximity to Hepburn Springs, Australia's largest concentration of mineral springs. Visitors flock to the area and its surroundings to enjoy the mineral spring spas and other healing amenities.


The main village is charming, with wide open streets lined with fabulous cafes, restaurants, country pubs, art galleries, and antique stores. It’s a popular home to well-known artists and musicians who add to the rich tapestry of this town.


The Wombat Hill Botanic Gardens and Lake Daylesford are perfect places for a relaxing walk and a family picnic. The weekends here in Daylesford have a lot to offer - with more than 20 festivals held in the area each year and numerous weekend farmers & local markets.
