Jubilee Lake Holiday Park & Cafe
Jubilee Lake Holiday Park is a beautiful, rustic, family and pet-friendly bush park located in Victoria's famous spa country, just 2.5km from Daylesford. Situated on the picturesque Jubilee Lake, it offers a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere amidst stunning natural surroundings. Guests can enjoy a range of activities including fishing (the lake is regularly stocked with rainbow trout), canoeing, bushwalking, and bird watching. The park also boasts a large oval for games, a playground for children, and the opportunity to observe wildlife, including the resident peacocks.
