After 130 years of welcoming guests to its mineral-rich waters, Australia’s oldest, longest running and most iconic bathhouse has officially reopened following a stunning $1.7 million refurbishment.
To mark the milestone, Hepburn Bathhouse & Spa has unveiled a series of exciting upgrades including five new private bathing areas. These modern, unique bathing areas each offer a bespoke experience and were part of a wider renovation by contestants of the Daylesford based 21st season of Channel 9’s The Block.
Thanks to this collaboration, Hepburn Bathhouse and Spa will imminently feature across several weeks of programming on the hugely popular renovation series, culminating in one of the teams winning the biggest challenge prize in The Block’s history.
In an incredibly exciting period for the property as it re-opens its doors, the upgrades were officially launched at a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by Belgravia Group Chairman Geoff Lord and Hepburn Shire Mayor Cr Don Henderson.
You can watch the reopening unfold here.
From today, guests can now enjoy all that the property has to offer including Private, Sanctuary and Bathhouse Mineral bathing, an all-new spa treatment menu, a brand-new Apothecary experience where guests blend their own custom body scrub with natural ingredients, a choice of 23 luxe villas, an all-new locally inspired wellness menu at the historic Pavilion café as well as gorgeous bushwalks surrounding the property.
As well as these new offerings, the $1.7 million renovation also includes upgrades to the property’s change rooms, an entrance refresh, new tiling, lighting, fittings and fixtures, ceiling restoration, a new audio system to enhance the guest experience and a general refresh of all internal areas.
Geoff Lord, Belgravia Group Chairman, was pleased to bear witness to the final product of Belgravia Leisure’s commitment to rejuvenate the property back to its iconic status.
“Through this restoration, we were very careful to pay homage to the history and heritage of the property – which we know locals hold very close to their heart – whilst modernising various areas to guarantee an elevated experience for our guests.
“Today is a proud day for all of us here and I’d like to thank the team on site for their hard work and dedication while these renovations have been underway,” Lord continued.
“This property plays an integral role in our aim of supporting the health and wellness of communities across Victoria, and we certainly can’t wait to hear the feedback from our guests on the transformation, and of course, I’ll be tuning in to see the property and the region enjoy the national spotlight on The Block.”
New Spa Menu
Guests can now book from a thoughtfully curated new spa menu, featuring luxurious body and facial treatments. Highlights include four indulgent new body rituals such as the Cacao Chocolate and Shiraz Body Scrub in partnership with Australian spa brand Waterlily, and four bespoke facials using globally renowned skincare brand Elemis.
A newly renovated aromatherapy steam room is also now available where guests can relax and unwind in an experience that’s both purifying and deeply relaxing.
With its rich history, luxurious new offerings and a starring role on national television, Hepburn Bathhouse & Spa is ready to welcome a new generation of guests and continue its legacy as one of Australia’s most beloved wellness destinations.
