Perched on the shores of Lake Daylesford, Lake House is a tranquil retreat set within six acres of country gardens. This multi-award-winning hotel is the brainchild of chef Alla Wolf-Tasker and her artist husband Allan.
The 33 individually designed guestrooms and suites range from lodge-style studios to waterfront suites and private villas. The contemporary rooms feature king-size beds, luxurious bathrooms with heated floors, and a private courtyard or balcony.
The acclaimed restaurant offers a seasonal menu of cutting-edge, modern Australian cuisine made from local produce and complemented by an extensive wine list. The tasting menu is an indulgent treat, especially with the restaurant’s lakeside location.
Enjoy cookery classes and wine tastings, stroll through the gardens and sculpture trails, play tennis, go mountain biking, or enjoy yoga, meditation, and tai chi on the lakeshore. The spa with treetop hot tubs offers the ideal spot to relax and unwind.
