Lake House is one of Australia’s most romantic hotels, best known for our beautiful lakeside location, two-hatted destination restaurant, award-winning cellar and impeccable service. We’re also only 80 minutes from Melbourne.

Overlooking Lake Daylesford, the stunning lake foreshore or paved lagoon provides uninterrupted views across the glistening water. It’s the perfect setting for gatherings, ceremonies or pre-dinner drinks.

Our professional in-house team of stylists will bring your dream celebration to life, sourcing abundant blooms and unique decorative touches. We ensure our wedding packages are indulgent in their inclusions and bountiful in their options, while remaining mindful of unnecessary expenses.

Our award-winning kitchen team is renowned for their modern take on Australian food. Our menus reflect the Lake House philosophy of a sense of place, combining the best seasonal produce, often sourced locally. Choose from a variety of styles, from multi-course chef’s tasting menus to shared feasts.

Our event spaces accommodate celebrations of all sizes β€” from the intimate Cellar Room for up to 14 guests to the beautiful Waterfront Pavilion, which sits just above the lakeshore and accommodates up to 40. Both are perfect for intimate receptions, while the Waterfront Pavilion also offers a beautiful setting for a winter wedding ceremony. For bigger parties, there’s the magnificently designed Terrace for up to 150 guests.

We’ve spent more than 30 years perfecting the art of hospitality. Relax and leave it all to us.

FAQ

What happens if it rains on our wedding day?

If the weather doesn’t cooperate and you’re planning to have your ceremony by the lake on the Lagoon Foreshore, we can move your celebration indoors to the Terrace Foyer or Waterfront Pavilion. Both offer beautiful, covered spaces.

Your ceremony styling transitions seamlessly indoors, and we always have umbrellas on hand to keep you and your guests comfortable. Rain or shine, your day will be just as beautiful.

Where are the best spots for photos?

The lake is the star of the show! The Lagoon Foreshore and Waterfront Pavilion offer beautiful water views, and golden hour brings soft light across the lake that photographers love.

Our team is always happy to share our favourite hidden corners with your photographer so you capture something truly unique.

How does the day flow between the different spaces?

If you’d love to say your vows by the water, your ceremony can be held on the Lagoon Foreshore with the lake as your backdrop.

Afterwards, guests can enjoy drinks and canapΓ©s outside either the Waterfront Pavilion or the Terrace Room, depending on the size of your wedding. Meanwhile, you can slip away for photos before everyone comes together for dinner.

The celebration flows naturally from one moment to the next.
