Lake House & Dairy Flat Lodge

Lake House is a celebrated culinary retreat located on the tranquil shores of Lake Daylesford in Victoria. Just 90 minutes from Melbourne, this iconic lodge sits at the heart of Australia’s “Spa Country” — a region renowned for its mineral springs, lush forests, and vibrant food culture.

At Lake House, the experience is a welcoming blend of indulgence and connection to place. You can unwind in elegant studios, suites, and villas located among tranquil gardens, or wander through nearby Dairy Flat Farm, a regenerative property that supplies much of the seasonal produce for the lodge’s Two Chef Hat restaurant (one of the most hatted in Australia). You can also stay at Dairy Flat Lodge.

The culinary journey is at the heart of it all, with thoughtfully crafted menus showcasing the region’s freshest ingredients, many picked just hours before they reach your plate.

Beyond the table, you can enjoy a variety of enriching experiences: from soothing spa rituals using botanicals grown on site, to hands-on sourdough baking classes, beekeeping workshops, and truffle foraging adventures. The nearby mineral springs and holistic therapies at Salus Spa offer a peaceful wellness escape, while forest walks and lakeside strolls invite quiet moments to reconnect and reflect.
