There’s a danger with placing Daylesford’s iconic Lake House (lakehouse.com.au) on a list like this, so ardent are its devotees to their “little secret”. One stay at this lakeside property, located 90 minutes north-west of Melbourne, and you too could find yourself obsessively spreading the gospel of Lake House. And why not? It’s got a two-hatted restaurant with a 1200-strong wine list and a deep connection to the soil, land and superb produce. Much of the menu is sourced from its own farm, bakehouse, olive groves and orchard. And guests are encouraged to take a 10-minute drive down the road to visit neighbouring Dairy Flat Farm to discover the journey of their meal for themselves. The property also has a celebrated spa, which utilises products from the region’s volcanic plains and healing waters.
