Crystal Springs Resort in Daylesford, Victoria, is at the heart of Australia's premier spa and mineral water region — the Daylesford-Hepburn Springs district, nicknamed the Spa Capital of Australia, where Swiss and Italian immigrant miners who came to the Victorian gold rushes in the 1850s discovered naturally carbonated mineral springs similar to those of their European homelands and established a spa culture that has evolved continuously for 170 years. The bicarbonate springs of Daylesford and adjacent Hepburn Springs emerge from volcanic basalt and produce naturally effervescent mineral water of distinctive character, bottled locally and prized for digestive and restorative properties. The resort area combines mineral spring facilities with the exceptional natural beauty of the Victorian Highlands, with their towering mountain ash forests, crater lakes and the acclaimed restaurant and arts scene that has made Daylesford a sophisticated weekend destination for Melbourne residents. The Wombat State Forest surrounding the region completes a setting of great natural peace.

Insider tip — Daylesford and Hepburn Springs make up Australia's spa capital — a region so rich in sparkling mineral water that locals still fill bottles at public pumps, just as they did in the 1800s. Pair a session at the mineral baths with the weekend farmers' market for the full village spa experience that this charming corner of Victoria is known for.
