Edwardian architecture dominates the streetscapes, and the influence of Swiss Italian culture still resonates throughout, particularly in the food and bathhouses. Several cafés and restaurants champion the paddock-to-plate approach, and the pubs and resident live music venue (the Palais-Hepburn) bring an endearing energy to the town centre
The creative scene is well and truly alive with musicians, artists and writers long-inspired by Hepburn Springs’ natural beauty, be it the colourful wildflowers, Mount Franklin or the surrounding Wombat State Forest.
Outdoor enthusiasts have plenty of opportunity to get out and about, from the bushland surrounds of Hepburn Mineral Springs Reserve and Hepburn Pool to the majestic state forests. But there’s no doubt that the best way to relax is at one of the many day spas and health retreats, all of which make the most of the local mineral water supply.
