Jubilee Lake Holiday Park & Cafe, Daylesford
Your Tranquil Escape in Victoria’s Spa Country
Nestled just 2.5 kilometres from the vibrant heart of Daylesford, Jubilee Lake Holiday Park & Cafe offers a quintessential Australian bush getaway with all the comforts of a modern retreat. Set against the backdrop of the historic and serene Jubilee Lake, our park is a sanctuary for those looking to unwind and reconnect with nature. Whether you’re pitching a tent for a rustic experience, parking a caravan with all the mod-cons, or settling into one of our self-contained cabins, you’ll find a peaceful spot to call your own. The park is steeped in the natural beauty of the Macedon Ranges, providing a perfect base to explore the renowned spa country of Victoria.
The gentle lapping of the lake, the call of kookaburras, and the rustle of gum leaves create a soothing soundtrack for your stay. Our grounds are designed to enhance this connection with the outdoors; enjoy cosy evenings around a crackling campfire (permitted in designated pits), try your luck fishing for trout and redfin in the annually stocked lake, or simply wander the surrounding bushwalking tracks to discover local flora and fauna. Families will appreciate the wide-open spaces and playground, ensuring entertainment for all ages. We pride ourselves on offering a clean, friendly, and relaxed atmosphere where you can create lasting memories. From our on-site cafe serving delicious coffee and meals to the convenience of modern amenities, Jubilee Lake Holiday Park is more than just a place to stay—it’s a destination for relaxation, adventure, and rejuvenation.
