Aurora is a studio cottage with a private landscaped garden and gorgeous views over the surrounding forest. Situated in the most desirable part of Hepburn Springs at the high end of a lightly forested long and sloping 1-acre site (with two other small cottages on it) that adjoins and has direct access to the Hepburn Mineral Springs Reserve, the cottage provides a relaxed and peaceful getaway. The compact kitchenette contains all the essentials if you want to prepare your own meals, but the Daylesford/Hepburn Springs area has a well-deserved reputation for outstanding cafes and restaurants. There is free WiFi and Netflix is included on the large TV.
After living in London for many years, we decided to move to Melbourne for a lifestyle change. And then, after just 2 years in the city, we decided on a tree change in the Daylesford/Hepburn Springs area, as we had holidayed here previously and fell in love with it, as it has both European and Australian characteristics and charms. I run the holiday let businesses with the help of my partner Andrew. I am more hands-on with cleaning and preparing our cottages for guests and making sure everything is to their liking. Andrew is more behind the scenes, ensuring our reservations system and other IT systems and facilities are working well. We make a great team and love welcoming new and returning guests to experience our cottages and all that the beautiful Daylesford/Hepburn Springs region has to offer. We live nearby and guests can contact us by mobile phone at any time if they need assistance.
The Hepburn Bathhouse & Spa complex in the neighbouring Hepburn Mineral Springs Reserve is a short walk down the road and offers a range of hot mineral water bathing and pampering spa treatments. There are also very many day spas within walking distance in Hepburn Springs village or a short drive to the neighbouring town of Daylesford.
