Bathe away your city woes at The Hepburn Bathhouse, which has been renewed as a spa since its original creation in the 1800s. I don’t always go to small towns from the gold rush era, but when I do, you better believe there’s one hell of an invigorating mineral bath on deck. Day trip from Melbourne (distance): 1 hour
