Itinerary
Day 1 - Wednesday 5 August 2026
Melbourne – Daylesford (L)
Meet your tour hostess and fellow sisters at the designated Bus– Southern Cross Coach Terminal, 205 Spencer Street, Melbourne.
Leave Melbourne behind for a sophisticated winter escape to Victoria's premier spa region. Designed for women who appreciate fine food, local art, and relaxation, this overnight tour offers a seamless blend of natural beauty and indulgent local hospitality. It is the perfect opportunity to unplug, recharge, and enjoy the company of like-minded sisters without having to plan a single detail.
Our getaway begins with a scenic drive to the spectacular Trentham Falls, Victoria's longest single-drop winter waterfall. From there, we journey into the countryside to the historic Lavandula Swiss Italian Farm. We will take time to explore the farm's iconic 1850s stone homesteads and beautiful grounds before we have a cozy, three course rustic lunch at Maria's Trattoria.
After checking into The Mineral Springs Hotel in Hepburn Springs, the afternoon is dedicated to our mineral bathing session. We will enjoy 1.5 hours soaking at the historic Hepburn Bathhouse & Spa. Afterward, the evening offers ample downtime to rest and enjoy the hotel at your own pace, followed by pre-dinner drinks in the hotel's stunning bar and an onsite dinner at the renowned Argus Dining Room.
