“Lovely retreat in a beautiful setting”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 October 2011

Peppers Mineral Springs retreat is gorgeous and is set in the most wonderful gardens. I stayed in a one bedroom Spa Villa and was spoilt for space. My only criticism is that there is no bathroom upstairs so trips up and down the stairs become a little tiresome after a while. My bigggest disappointment was the lack of porter service even for someone with a disability - I had to lug my walking stick and my luggage off to my room myself despite the fact that I was clearly struggling. My other disapppointment was that the lovely mineral spa pools also lack proper rails so I was unable to use them. The Mineral Spa staff, however, were exceptional in attending to my needs and the soft pak float beds have to be experienced to be believed!

Oddly, when I asked for a room service menu at hotel reception, which my room directory informed me was available, it apparently didn't exist which was a little odd. I did have a lovely time here but not sure if I would return. The town itself is lovely and it very close to Daylesford which is also lovely. This place is gorgeous - perfect for a relaxing getaway. There are just a few details which could improve it even more.

Room Tip: If you're after space and the option of a full kitchen and spacious lounge room as well as an ou...

“Relaxation plus”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2011

Excellent accommodation, loved the decor. Peaceful and relaxing - just what the doctor ordered! And a decent spa bath that you can actually use comfortably.
All staff were pleasant, helpful and knowledgeable.

Room Tip: The Spa Villa's at the rear of property are very private, peaceful and relaxing.

“Great Place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 October 2011

We had a very enjoyable two night stay at Peppers Mineral Springs Retreat. We stayed in a premium suite with a therapeutic spa. The design of the resort was well thought out and the gardens were beautiful. The lounge in the main building was exceptional. The food was delicious but the service was somewhere between poor and very poor. Food at the buffet breakfast was not replenished and people went without. Tables were not cleared. This was exceptionally poor. At times, there was no hot food of any variety at all. Some guests were really peeved. The service at dinner was also poor. For the prices, one would reasonably expect adequate service. We had to repeatedly ask for water, additional bread was offered to some tables but not all, and there was a sense of laggardness by the two staff attempting to service 8 tables. Having said all of that, the food was delicious.

“Exceptional Food, Service & Spa”

My mum and I went on a road trip to a destination of her choice - Daylesford. I am a travel agent and jumped at the opportunity to find us a nice "spoil yourself" hotel for the weekend. Being in my profession, I am quite particular about where I stay (actually pretty fussy) and we had the most amazing stay at Peppers Hepburn Springs.

They surprised us with a bottle of bubbles for her birthday, which we gladly drunk while in the amazingly deep and bubbly spa bath in our room (that fit both of us). That evening we went into the hotel restaurant and were served one of the nicest, tastiest meals we have had in a long time - followed by an equally gorgeous breakfast the next morning.

Every person we dealt with at Peppers was professional, friendly and provided outstanding customer service (also something I am particular about in my profession). I would highly recommend this to anyone wishing to visit the area especially professionals, couples and friends wishing to get away for a weekend retreat and "spoil yourself" with the spa treatments.

“A couples retreat in Spa Country”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 October 2011

We stayed in the main house just for a night away. The room was small but well appointed and had an extraordinary Bath! The service was attentive but not intrusive. We dined at the Deco restaurant and we both agreed that the food and service were some of the best we have ever had. There is ready access via a short walk to the Hepburn spa and a short drive to the delights of Daylesford. The grounds themselves are great for a stroll and photography. You will need to drive about an hour and a half from Melbourne but we can't wait to come back.

Room Tip: If there is a large goup you may want to consider the attached Villa Parma (four couples).
