Where you’ll find us

Slow House is tucked just off the main road in Hepburn Springs, a stone’s throw from the village but with the kind of stillness you come here for. With Hepburn Regional Park at the back and local cafes just down the hill, it’s the best of both worlds, nature on your doorstep and coffee within walking distance.

Step Outside, Breathe In

Slow House backs onto the Goldfields Track, a perfect launch point for walkers and riders exploring Hepburn Regional Park. Wander through eucalypt forest to hidden picnic spots and natural springs. Don’t miss Spring Creek at the end of our street, it’s a peaceful place to sit, breathe, and reconnect.

Taste the Town

Hepburn and Daylesford are full of good food and even better wine. Pick up local cheeses, bread and produce to graze on back deck at Slow House or head out to enjoy some of our favourite spots for dining. We’ll share our go-to list when you check in.

A Short Drive Away

Venture a little further and you’ll find mineral springs, scenic drives, and charming country towns waiting to be explored. Daylesford is just a 5-minute drive (or a half hour stroll) away with galleries, markets, and the lake. Walk or spend the afternoon hopping between cellar doors and farm gates.

Your Base for Doing (or Not Doing) It All

Whether you’re here to hike, soak, stretch, sip or simply rest, Slow House is your base for whatever version of ‘slow’ you need. Come and go as you please, or stay put and let the days roll gently by.
