Hepburn Bathhouse and Spa

Hepburn Bathhouse and Spa is Australia's most celebrated mineral spa, located in Hepburn Springs, Victoria, in the Central Highlands spa country where naturally carbonated and mineral-rich springs were first developed for therapeutic bathing by European settlers in the 1860s, establishing one of the Southern Hemisphere's earliest and most enduring spa resort traditions. The oligomineral waters here are naturally carbonated and carry a distinctive mineral profile drawn from the volcanic geology of the region, and the bathhouse — a beautifully restored Federation-era building — has served generations of Australians seeking therapeutic mineral bathing in the genteel atmosphere of Daylesford and Hepburn Springs' artistic spa community. This spa has been a pilgrimage destination for Melbourne residents and interstate visitors for over 150 years, its heritage buildings and mineral-rich spring waters forming the cornerstone of Australia's spa culture and one of the country's most beloved wellness traditions.
