Set in Victoria's picturesque Daylesford and Macedon Ranges, this grand 1930's guest house has been transformed into one of regional Victoria's finest heritage country hotels, with stylish art deco reception areas, leafy gardens and stunning courtyards.

Situated in Hepburn Springs, just three minutes from Daylesford, Peppers Mineral Springs Retreat offers beautiful accommodation with 40 luxurious rooms including the self-contained 1864 Villa Parma with four exquisite bedrooms.

Opening out to all day sun the Conservatory is elegantly furnished with soft cushioned banquettes, comfortable cane chairs and hanging pendulum lamps. The Conservatory serves a gourmet breakfast buffet, casual lunches, afternoon tea and great coffee.
