Claude Forell: The Age
"Postwar owners have restored Ambleside's period charms, furnished it in fine period style and added modern conveniences. The present hosts, Frank and Linda Carroll, are relative newcomers but well versed in the art of hospitality. The hosts live in an apartment below. Guests can relax with a cup of tea - or a glass of wine - in the cosy lounge or in the informal sunroom. Ambleside is a place where you can feel like the Lord or the Lady of the Manor and relax accordingly".

The Spa Capital of Australia?

Daylesford and Hepburn Springs are reputed to have more massage 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.
