2009 was a milestone year for ChillOut. All our photos available in our gallery – just click through to have a look.

We are pleased to announce that we've surpassed this year's fundraising target raising more than $25,000 to support Buddies for Wildlife, the Hepburn Wildlife Shelter and our local CFA. It means that our main project - Buddies for Wildlife - is fully funded and will kick off in Hepburn Shire schools shortly. Click here to read more about this important local initiative.
Daylesford and Hepburn Springs boast the highest concentration of mineral springs in the country, and an equally high concentration of health and wellbeing practitioners! Mineral water spa baths combined with massage are increasingly used for work-related problems such as back pain, stress-related complaints, rehabilitation after accidents, rheumatism, arthritis and gout, while drinking the waters provides many of the minerals missing from refined and processed foods grown using artificial fertilisers.
Check out the newly renovated and re-opened Hepburn Bathhouse & Spa, a state of the art facility that truly brings this 19th century therapy into the 21st. There’s been a bathhouse here since 1894. Or perhaps you’re seeking that special hands-on pampering that only a world-class day spa can provide. Award-winning Mineral Spa at Peppers Springs Retreat is a ‘must’ in your list of local experiences.
You'll soon become a connoisseur, sampling the massages, wraps, facials and other treatments at any number of establishments, like the Daylesford Day Spa, The Body Isle Day Spa, Spa 407 at Novotel Forest Resort, Shizuka Ryokan Japanese Spa Retreat, Salus Spa at Lake House and the Massage Healing Centre in Daylesford or stock up on products from Hepburn Springs Naturals and invite someone special to share the spa bath at your hotel.
Treatments include shiatsu, reiki, hypnotherapy, naturopathy, osteopathy, oriental medicine, pilates, yoga and tai chi - in total more than 90 health and wellness therapies. Visit spatown.com.au for more information.
