Bluegums Retreat - (a haven for families and groups of friends)

For your added security, this property is only managed in Australia and we never request payments be made to overseas bank accounts.

Bluegums Retreat, set against a backdrop of native landscaping with countryside views and located a few minutes from the iconic Hepburn Bathhouse and Spa, is ideally positioned for your escape.

Offering a sandstone interior, and Bluestone exterior, with exposed timber and plush carpets, The House was built from an old bridge demolished in Ballarat.

Bluegums Retreat offers an idyllic setting for you and your family or friends. Close to Lavendula, Cricket Willow, and the Hepburn Springs Golf Course, there is something for everyone nearby.

Well-appointed, with one King-split and two Queen bedrooms, an open plan living area and large timber deck with BBQ, Bluegums Retreat has space to tuck yourself away for rest and relaxation. On arrival, you will find a welcoming hamper of local and organic treats to start your stay.

A full kitchen and large dining area offer room for entertaining before you enjoy a country sunset from the deck or veranda. Invite yourself to Bluegums and be spoilt by nature.

Bluegums Retreat is located in the idyllic spa capital of Victoria - Hepburn Springs. The retreat located only a few minutes walk from the recently renovated Hepburn Spa and the famous Hepburn Springs Golf Course is ideally positioned for that total rest and relaxation.



Bluegums Retreat Accommodation

The 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms well-appointed house is a wonderful retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city and is lovely and peaceful with the sun rising and setting in full view of the main outlook from the house.

Fully refitted and refurnished over the last several months, Bluegums Retreat provides a stylish and comfortable environment to unwind and relax.

Lie in bed at night and gaze at the stars in the heavens above through the moon window over the master bed.

The grounds have been recently re-landscaped with water-friendly native planting sympathetic to the landscape. Lookout in the garden for Henry the 10ft Emu and, little Bertie the Kiwi.

Amazing place to relax and see Daylesford and surrounds
We went as a family of 6 (including grandparents and kids). Really nice house and amazing setting. Kangaroos and kookaburras appear in the backyard on a nightly basis and we spent most nights on the veranda. Very comfortable set up and everything you need. Geoff was great to deal with and super helpful. Would book again no problem.

From the time we booked till we left the house the entire process was exceptionally smooth. Geoff has been very welcoming, friendly and with a lot of tips on the locality. We enjoyed staying in the house and will likely return in future.

A DREAM!
I genuinely don’t even think I have the words to describe how magical this house is. Not only is it beautiful, but the attention to detail in everything made the entire experience hands down one of my most memorable ones in years. We definitely will be back many many more times!

Warm and relaxing retreat
Bluegums is a beautiful property! It was the perfect place for our family to catch up and truly unwind. Kids loved exploring the surrounding bush land and keeping an eye on the local kangaroos. After a day of exploring Daylesford and the surrounding region, coming home to a roaring log fire and cooking for loved ones is my idea of bliss. And all the bedrooms are beautifully furnished, and have comfy beds. Morning coffees on the daybed - sublime! Thanks for being such a helpful host Geoff, and we really appreciate the warm arrival. We would love to return one day, and would recommend Bluegums to others.

Beautiful Time
Blue Gums Retreat is in an amazing location that central to both Hepburn Springs and Dayelsford. The property has everything that you could require for a relaxing holiday. The property owner was incredibly helpful, communicating with us regularly during our stay with helpful local knowledge of what to do and where to go. I cant recommend both this area and the Blue Gums Retreat highly enough. Thank you for the memories.

Beautiful Bluegums!
Bluegums Retreat is a beautiful property , tucked away in a wonderful quiet neighbourhood. Lots of roos & a little duckling family kept us entertained. We loved Eddie the Emu & we put the garden light on each night so we could see him. Beds were extremely comfy & the kitchen's cooking facilities were superb! Cannot speak highly enough about everything in this home - the owner 's generous hamper of goodies, champers & chocs plus lit fires & lights on certainly welcomed us on our arrival. Would definitely return. Thanks Geoff for your hospitality & pls pass on our thanks to your cleaner. A very clean & welcoming home. Michelle, Sally, Heidi & Wendy
