Hepburn Springs, the ‘Spa Capital of Australia’, is located just over an hour’s drive from Melbourne and claims Australia’s largest concentration of mineral springs. Best-known for the effervescent, odour-less mineral water emanating from its many reservoirs, its name is well founded, with 50% of Australia’s active mineral water outlets located within the region. Stella Hospitality Group provides retreat-style accommodation set in the heart of the town. Peppers Springs Retreat, an iconic Art Deco establishment, offers contemporary décor rich in colours and heritage. The retreat comprises a choice of 25 stylish rooms and spa suites. With its own mineral house, the retreat provides the ideal place to relax and unwind, taking advantage of the features Hepburn Springs is so well known for.
