I've been to Daylesford many times but this was the first time at the lake and glad we went. We went there with the extended family to have a bbq. There weren't too many people around, didn't get bothered by the ducks or other birds unlike other people. I walked all around the lake in around 1/2 hour. Loved drinking... More

Most years we rent a cottage in Daylesford for a weekend. I love the lake all times of the year and this year was no exception. The weather was perfect autumn weather and the trees looked beautiful.

Enjoyed a great walk around the lake... only about a K to get round it. Beautiful views up to town or across to the Lake House. Easy walk. No stairs. More

I just love this lake and all that surrounds it. You could so easily be in the Lakes District in the Britain or anywhere in rain soaked Europe as this place always is refreshingly green and tranquil. The Lake House is great for lunch, really great. The lake then provides the most beautiful setting to walk off lunch or meander... More

Lake Daylesford is close to centre of town and a lovely place to relax. You can walk around the lake, eat the restaurant, have a picnic and watch the ducks. No matter what time of the year it is a lovely place to visit. More

The lake is very beautiful. There is a walking track that goes right around the lake. It is worth the 45 minutes. More
