We were on a slow ride through the Daylesford area one day just following the nose of the car . We had just had a very nice meal in one of the wonderful small shops , and were trying to find the road back to Sunbury, Victoria , As usual we did happen toget a bit lost but decided to see where the road took us, which was one of the best decisions we had made on that week end . The area was fantastic ,great scenery and a good road . About half an hour later we came into the township of Lyonville ,which is where we had our encounter with the Radio Springs Hotel . We walked in to the hotel and we both said "WOW " at the same time . " How long has this place been here ? " It was one of the most pleasurable afternoons and evenings we had experienced on our trip. The people who were running the place were so kind and helpful . The meals were excellent , and the service was all that we could have expected , and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves . It was a lovely, cosy enviorment , and a fitting end to our vist to that area . I had recently been surfing the net and stumbled on this site . We now live in Queensland but It brought back some nice memories of when we found this little oasis . Thank you .

We took a chance and rang to ask if there was any accomodation to be had and luckily for us there was! We were greeted warmly by Ken who proferred some pretty impressive wines in his funny little bar. The menu was decidedly Italian.Chef Dom is a character and the food was lovely and reasonably priced. Jackie looked after us very well. They have a special Thai menu on Wednesdays which attracts people from afar attested to by the couple at a near table who dine at Radio Springs regularly and live halfway to Melbourne! Our room was a hoot. A fabulous, comfy kingsize bed. Quirky decorating and colour schemes. Clean ensuite with big fluffy towels.There is a red guest lounge/dining room with plenty to look at. Another eclectic dining room, outside seating and other nooks and crannies. All with roaring fires. Ken strives to have live music nightly and supports the local talent . Dom's Calabrasee Breakfast included in the B & B price was something you won't find anywhere else in Daylesford. Room 1 really impressed us with its open fire, armchairs and huge ensuite with claw foot bath. Really worth booking for a couple of days midweek to totally chill out. Cute little town to explore. We'll go back.
