A Daylesford institution for generations, the Daylesford Hotel sits at the heart of town and feels exactly like it should: welcoming, unhurried, and full of life.
Run by the team behind the much-loved Cliffy's Emporium, it's a place where locals and visitors alike feel instantly at home.
Pull up a stool in the public bar for a beer or a glass of local wine, grab a wood-fired pizza, or join in the weekly meat tray community raffle. On warmer days, the balcony and beer garden are the perfect perch for a spritz and some people-watching. When the cold sets in, find a seat by the fire and let the evening stretch out.
The kitchen turns out seasonal, produce-driven dishes that follow what's best in the region: a really great schnitzel, a hearty pie, and a changing menu that gives you a reason to come back.
Live music, jazz nights, and community events fill the calendar year-round, keeping the hotel at the beating heart of Daylesford life.
Comfortable pub-style accommodation upstairs makes it an easy base for a weekend in the region.
