The Grande Hotel and Restaurant

The Grande Hotel is an historic country hotel where quirky old-world character meets modern decor, in spectacular forest surrounds and near to the popular Hepburn Bathhouse and Spa. It is located in the town of Hepburn Springs, on just the other side of Daylesford; a 50 metre stroll down the lane from the picturesque village and a scenic 500 metre forest and suspension bridge walk to the Bathhouse. The hotel offers ten guest rooms, 'Locale @ The Grande' locavore restaurant with its acclaimed chef, delivering slow-cooked, authentic Italian cuisine, monthly Italian regional dinners and gastronomic menus for foodie adventurers (on prior request), relaxed lounge bar, conference rooms and event spaces with personality, and Friday night cabaret shows featuring local, national and international performers. Stay in standard or premium guest rooms furnished in modern style or spoil yourself in the deluxe spa room with stunning forest views. Meals (or just coffee) come with superb forest views from the back deck and wrap-around verandas, or beside cosy open fires when the weather is chilly. Available Fridays and Saturdays from 8am-late, Sundays 8am-4pm and Mondays and Tuesdays from 5pm-late. Visit the website for a guide to menus, current shows and special events.
