    A tranquil, sophisticated lakeside retreat

    Slow down to the rural pace of life at this elegant lakeside retreat with a multi-award winning restaurant, a collection of the region’s best artwork, secluded waterfront suites and expansive grounds of olive groves and dappled forests.

    This alluring house on the shores of Lake Daylesford draws foodies from across the world to its celebrated restaurant that serves up modern Australian fare. The menu is reflective of the seasons and local produce is brought in daily from neighbouring farms to be masterfully crafted into culinary delights by the co-owner and head chef. Their award-winning cellar perfectly compliments your dining experience.

    Choose from spacious suites and rooms resting on the waterfront with private lake access, or the luxurious lodge suites and studios, individually designed with contemporary country décor. Each suite has an indulgent ensuite featuring textured stone and marble with heated floors and is decorated with original artwork from Lake House proprietor and resident artist Allan Wolf-Tasker.

    Your day begins with the aromas of freshly baking bread, ground coffee and seasonal flowers which are brought in daily. Later stroll the numerous walking tracks through poplars and pine oaks which are home to kokkaburras, cockatoos and gang gangs. Take in the collection of artwork that is dotted around the edible gardens, relax in a quiet nook overlooking the tennis courts, or nestle down in front of the open fire with a book from the library.

    For the ultimate relaxation head to the state-of-the-art spa, with ten different decadent treatment areas.

    United Places Botanic Gardens

    An exquisite conception of a collection of award-winning designers, this modernist-inspired residence featuring 12 suites, serves as a ‘home hotel’, with an additional level of luxury. Looking out across the beautiful Royal Botanic Gardens or the city of Melbourne, each suite encompasses a spacious terrace, an ideal spot for tucking into the complimentary gourmet breakfast at the start of your day or for unwinding with a nightcap.

    Every fitting and furnishing has been carefully selected to enhance the hotel’s overall feel of understated sophistication. Fully-equipped kitchens, with laundry amenities and airy living areas, sporting mini-bars allow guests to feel completely at home. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the interior spaces with natural light, illuminating the muted or dark colour schemes, and the soft velvet elements.

    A designer in his own right, Melbourne chef, Scott Pickett heads the hotel’s acclaimed restaurant, Matilda 159 Domain. Here, the dishes are masterpieces of contemporary flame-grilled delights, made with local meats, and seasonal produce and created to match the equally enticing décor. If you aren’t dining in this low-lit, wood-panelled den, then you can enjoy a meal served by your personal butler in the comfort of your suite.

    During your stay, your on-call butler can assist you with reservations or recommendations for restaurants or activities in the city. Additionally, you can make use of the butler service to arrange yoga, Pilates or personal training sessions, or to book a treatment at a local salon.
