March 9, 2022 By //  by Natiaha Murphy

Located in Hepburn Springs, Victoria, in the middle of the largest concentration of mineral springs in Australia, the Hepburn Bathhouse and Spa have long been providing a diverse range of soothing hydrotherapies. Using the mineral-rich waters unique to the area, Hepburn Bathhouse offers luxurious and traditional wellness experiences for those desiring a soothing spa day.

  3. Pavilion,
  4. Locarno, and
  5. Wyuna.

Bring your thirst and empty bottles; the healing and rejuvenating water is unlimited and free. Let’s explore the Hepburn Bathhouse and Spa and learn why people flock here to soak in the therapeutic waters.
