Traditional Japanese Rooms
Each of the six guestrooms features authentic tatami-mat flooring and an engawa alcove with chairs overlooking a private Japanese garden. The bathroom includes a deep Japanese soaking bath, and traditional cotton yukata robes are provided. To maintain a calm atmosphere, televisions and telephones are not available. Late checkout at 11:00 am is included.
Authentic Japanese Dining
The ryokan offers a banquet Japanese dinner and a traditional Japanese breakfast, rarely found in Australia. Meals are curated by a nakai chef using seasonal local ingredients. The Omakase dinner is a highlight, and guests can choose between Japanese or English-style breakfast. Both meals can be added as extras.
Spa and Wellness Activities
Award-winning spa services include shiatsu massage, Geisha facial, and holistic treatments. Yoga and meditation retreats are held regularly. Guests can also enjoy hiking, mini golf, walking tours, and cooking classes. Facilities include an open-air bath, spa lounge, and relaxation area. Local wineries and artisanal markets are nearby.
Bushland Location Near Wineries
Set on four acres of bushland in Hepburn Springs, the ryokan is a 5-minute drive from Daylesford. Native wildlife such as kangaroos and kookaburras visit the grounds. Nearby attractions include Daylesford Cider Company, Hepburn Springs farmers' market, and local boutique wine producers. The property is about 1 hour 15 minutes from Melbourne.
Guest Services and Policies
The ryokan is adults-only (no children under 16). Services include concierge, room service, daily housekeeping, luggage storage, express check-in/check-out, and a tour desk. Free WiFi and free parking are available. Meeting and banquet facilities can be arranged. Gift vouchers are offered for spa and dining experiences.
“This Japanese country retreat genuinely transports you, offering a remarkably authentic ryokan experience complete with tatami rooms and traditional bathing. The attentiveness of the staff complements the excellent, flavourful Japanese cuisine, making for a deeply restorative and serene getaway. Its proximity to Melbourne belies the profound sense of peace one finds here, particularly with the inclusion of wellness treatments like shiatsu.”
