Daylesford Massage and Day Spa

So why is it called the Spa Capital of Australia?

Daylesford and Hepburn Springs are reputed to have more therapists per capita than anywhere in Australia.  If you visit the area you will believe it.  Day Spas are popping up like mushrooms and if you can't find the type of massage or spa you want here, it probably doesn't exist.

Hepburn Springs has been popular for decades and decades (originally an escape for the wealthy of Melbourne which can be seen in many of the older buildings) but it is the modern stressed filled lifestyle that has resurrected such interest in this region.

The original was the Hepburn Spa Complex (yes, in Hepburn Springs).  Known as the Bathhouse it has been operating since 1895 when it had only two baths to soak in.  It is still in operation but now has many private baths, a public swimming area, salt water pool and every therapy you can imagine.  They still use mineral water from their own private source.

The popularity of Spa country has been helped by it's close proximity to Melbourne. Depending where you live, it can only take a little over an hour to get to Daylesford or Hepburn Springs.  The undulating scenery is spectacular and with shopping and cafes to match anywhere why would you have a spa anywhere else.

Price around as you can spend anywhere from $50 to $1,000 for your treatment depending on how long and how much you want.  The smaller independents can be a lot less expensive.
