Travel to Daylesford via the Western Hway or the Calder.

If you take the Western turn off at Ballan and follow the Daylesford Sign.

Daylesford is approximately 30-35k from either Highway. Come into Daylesford, find the BP Petrol Station and head over the lake. We are located on the 'quiet' side of Lake Daylesford and look back directly to LakeHouse.

If you are coming via Public transport, please contact us with travel details and we will organise to pick you up from the local Bus-stop.

If you need directions texted to your mobile phone, please let me know and I will do so. We have heard of many GPS's leading people astray and coming to Daylesford the "long" way.
