ACTION...Kudos Villas

Hi guys, Nicola here.

Time to have some fun!

Kudos Villas provide you with all the indulgent pampering that you would ever require.  Makayla checked out the hedonistic packages that the villas offer.  

If you do decide to venture out of your villa, Hepburn Springs has heaps to see and do.

You'll notice that on every street corner and in every row of shops, you'll see a sign offering massages and spa treatments.  This is the heart of spa country, people!  The perfect destination for relaxation and rejuvenation.

The towns of Daylesford and Hepburn Springs are surrounded by more than 60 natural mineral springs.  Rich in minerals, the region's springs are believed to cure all sorts off afflictions from acne to athritis.

Want to earn your massage at the end of the day?

Try the Tipperary Walking Track.  It runs from picturesque Lake Daylesford to the Hepburn Mineral Springs Reserve.  It's a 5 hour, 16 kilometre walk that traces the route of the old water races cut by miners last century.  Look out for the Blowhole, a tunnel built to divert water and allow sluicing for gold.

Or you can visit Mount Franklin (yup, like the water bottles).  It's located 8km north of Daylesford.  The sheltered extinct volcanic crater of the mountain provides a great setting for a picnic (the Villas can hook you up with a basket full of goodies).

There's also Hepburn Springs Golf Club.  An 18 hole course with manicured fairways, in a peaceful bush setting.

My personal favourite activity is horseriding through the bush to the historic Swiss Mountain Hotel for lunch.  It offers pub grub at its absolute and unashamed best.  Hepburn Lagoon Trail Rides offer a scenic alternative to discovering the region.

But let's face it folks, you come to the area massages, treatments and the mineral springs.

Next up, Susan will find the best places to eat while at Kudos Villas.
