It is a quaint country town with a lot of galleries, dining options and nice scenery. The Mills Market was amazing, I found a few 'treasures' and could have spent another day or two there. Tuesday and Wednesday are like their weekend off so a number of things were closed including the Convent Gallery :(

Hepburn Springs and Daylesford are places of calm and beauty. The mineral springs are a delight, and (if you can afford it) the spa is wonderful. Had a great and well priced massage at Soma massage in Vincent Street. Sad to see the Palais and few of my favourite eating closed.

Plenty of day trips can be made from Seymour in various directions; lots of parks/playgrounds for children, walking tracks along the Goulburn River, wineries nearby, lots of cafes and places to eat, as well as takeaway and bakeries. Found it to be very relaxing and peaceful place to stay.

A quaint town with some great eateries and plenty of activities for the lovers of nature and the outdoors. The MTB park is a big draw card, but could be advertised better, it is by far my favourite MTB park and I have visited a few.

We were only in Kyneton overnight but walking the streets in the early evening was a delight. The old buildings/architecture had us planning a return ( much longer) visit. For an early breakfast we wandered the streets and found a great ‘locals’ spot, Monsieur Pierre which was yummy and affordable. Both the town and surroundings deserve a few days exploring.

Kilmore being the oldest inland town in Vic, lots of old historic buildings, cafes that are very cool very good coffee, nice to drive around, old churches and schools hills and bush, Monument Hill Reserve a great view of the district.

It really needs a fridge freezer in kitchen, one of our friends had dietary requirements due to past cancer problems, with no freezer, things where alittle difficult for him. Incorrect description of beds in house, was a problem, was lucky the chap was young enough to find the couch comfortable. We managed, so it was ok,

Lancefield is a little rural town in the Macedon Ranges. It is steeped in history. Lots of other interesting small towns nearby. Lovely friendly people. We stayed at Lancefield Lodge for 5 nights, and loved it so much, we went back for another 2 nights. We'll definitely go there again.

The resort was clean and tidy, although could use with some updating, it felt a little tired. The spa in the room was by far the highlight, the view looking out the window was peaceful. We were excited to go to the pool and spa area as it looked so good on the website, but we were disappointed when we got there that the spa had been drained and was not in use. We already knew that the day spa area itself was closed for renovations so this just added to the disappointment, and I'm not sure if this was all factored into the cost or not as the room rate was ok but could have been less considering lots of facilities were not in use. Also it seemed odd that the pool area closes at 5pm when the staff go home, bit of a rush to have a swim as check in is 3pm. The meal at the restaurant was delicious but very expensive, I got the steak which was an extra $10 and then sides another additional cost, I felt the steak was overpriced once you added sides. The entrée lettuce gems were divine, and we thought the rolls with entrée would have been a nice local sour dough or similar, but they were just the regular oval shaped rolls that we get at the local supermarket at home. The wait staff at the restaurant were fantastic and very welcoming and friendly. I would suggest getting an upper floor room as you can hear the spa above when you are in a ground floor room, it wasn't a huge deal but just a tip for those who are unsure whether to pay the extra cost, I think it would be worth it and I hope we return sometime in the future and we will do the same. The area is gorgeous, so many great little stops along the way from Ballarat, and Woodend is a cute little town. As the restaurant at the resort wasn't serving breakfast, we went into town to Paysanne cafe and give it 5 stars.

We attended the 4th Edition of the Stars and Bars Music Festival, which was an absolutely amazing event, showcased local wineries, brewery and distillery of the region.An event for all ages to enjoy, included was live Music at The Axedale Hotel, The Union Hotel and Palling Bros.
