Shizuka Ryokan, Hepburn Springs

Set amid tranquil bushland in central Victoria's picturesque "spa country", Shizuka Ryokan offers traditional Japanese accommodation, delicious cuisine and luxurious spa treatments.  Located in Hepburn Springs near Daylesford, it's a small piece of Japan just 80 minutes drive from Melbourne.

Sitting on nearly four acres of rolling bushland, the ryokan offers just six guest rooms, thus ensuring intimacy, privacy and tranquility - ideal for couples, singles and small corporate groups. 

The guestrooms all feature the hallmarks of traditional Japanese style accommodation including futon bedding, shoji rice paper sliding screens, decorative tokonoma alcoves, and all feature tatami straw matting, offering that subtle fragrance unmistakably reminiscent of Japan.

Try the signature four-course dinner which can be served individually to guestrooms, or treat yourself to our spa indulgences which include Geisha Facial, Face & Body, Yin & Yang, Shiatsu, Relaxation Massage, Body Wrap and Polish and Herbal Back Treatments

The Japanese word “shizuka” means tranquility, and it is this very feeling which will stay with you from the start of your stay to the very end. The term “ryokan” refers to the highest level of traditional Japanese accommodation, offering an unsurpassed standard of service and comfort.
