Aurora Cottage, Hepburn Springs

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 backs onto 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.

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.

Current Airbnb guest rating (September 2024) of 4.93 out of 5 stars, based on 185 reviews.
