It's best known for its restaurant, which holds two Chefs Hats from the Good Food Guide and consistently ranks among Australia's best.Much of what lands on the plate comes from the property's own Dairy Flat Farm, a working 40-acre operation with its own orchard, olive grove, vineyard and bee hives, a rare case of a hotel restaurant that can point to the exact paddock its ingredients came from. Daylesford's mineral springs and lake walks round out a quieter day between meals, and priority reservations are extended to guests for both the restaurant and spa. As a member of Luxury Lodges of Australia, one of only 20 lodges nationwide to hold that distinction, the property meets the collective's exacting standards for remoteness, scale and genuine sense of place.
