    Absolutely love Victoria, spent my childhood with my grandparents around Daylesford (Castlemaine), but moved to WA 40 years ago, so want to revisit for the memories and nostalgia…

  2. ruth smith

    2 worn out mums, business women and all rounders in need of fantastic Daylesford spa, hotel, food and art pampering! Bags packed for Victorian break.

  3. Peach Connors

    A luxury weekend away in Daylesford would be the ultimate escape for me to pamper my partner of 25 years. A weekend like this would re-ignite all senses! Heaven!

  4. Labella Slagy

    My friend and I just finished chemo.
    We could do with a break! We could do with a laugh.
    And we could do all that in Daylesford and surrounds.. Easy.

  5. Craig Little

    Every comment above seems so sure it would be a fantastic weekend away! Me – not so much… Though if I’m selected l’ll be sure to leave some glowing feedback if that is how I return 😉 signed: a pessimist in desperate need of a holiday

  6. Jami

    A fairy-tale date that even Cinderella would be jealous of. Hoping the wicked step sisters-nah-children- let us escape from the castle-nah renovation nightmare- that we are now living in and r-e-l-a-x. Is that possible again after all of these years?

  7. Toni Parkes

    love to take my loving adorable husband to give a little back to him for all that he has done for me.. 23yrs of pure bliss

  8. Vicky

    I am a full time carer of my two elderly parents for the past 16 years it would be so nice to just get away and relax and actually have a day off

  9. judy king

    my daughter suffers from post traumatic stress needing hospital admissions and a weekend at daylesford would be like heaven

  10. Maddie Brown

    A nice little get away would be fabulous after completing 5 years of university. I’d love to surprise my boyfriend who has supported me through all the ups and downs during my degree. 🙂

  11. Nicole

    I waited 6 years, we have two children, he worked his backside off for 2 years, i planned a wedding in 18 months. I studied a certificate in wedding planning just to do it all on my own. We are officially 3 weeks out. -I am stressed! And we sadly can’t afford a honeymoon. We would love and appreciate this more than anything!

  12. Mellita Hennessy

    My Husband and I have never been to Melbourne let alone Daylesford – that would be the ultimate weekend away!!

  13. Maggie Harriss

    My bestie Jane is a great travel companion – up for anything, interested in everything, We both love food, music and shopping so Daylesford is perfect.

  14. Kathryn Woolley

    Though I attempted to provide the 25 words of reason why my husband & I would love the time in Daylesford – on both occasions I wasn’t able to complete the task, as after I had read the conditions – I was unable to then hit ‘done!’

  15. Lisa Romano

    Daylesford is the jewell in Victoria’s west: the drive on approach is full of old forest trees – so quaint, so soft and slightly blue with eucalyptus vapour – little spas tucked away into the hill hollows – pristine healing waters, enchanting and beckoning you to linger and pause – the undulating road depositing you into a town steeped in history and yet surprisingly urbane and cosmopolitan in one..

  16. Linda Payne

    For the best 21st birthday weekend at Daylesford. Love to have the time in one of the most beautiful places of the world with my son on his very special birthday. A wonderful experience for both of us.

  17. Leona Kelly

    For my beautiful hard working parents who have been married for 29years.. They never put themselves first. They would love a getaway together And a romantic one at that. 🙂 xx

    We remember Daylesford so well,as our children used to dance there during highland dancing competitions,many years ago:)

  21. Rosemarie

    To experience the excitement of a weekend to indulge all my senses, heart, mind, body and soul. The sights, sounds, tastes, pampering, tranquility, indulgences, memories, laughter, love and friendship would all be on offer in Daylesford.

  22. Kim

    After a tough few years bringing up teenagers, an escape to Daylesford would be a great surprise for my wife and an opportunity for me to rediscover country Victoria.

  23. Judy-Ann Cluff

    Look out Daylesford, here I come! This is just the right prescription for the worn out school teacher that I am!! Thank you Heaven (and Daylesford!)

  24. Pam Bierton

    Would love to spoil my daughter after a rough couple of years losing her father supporting her daughters and giving 110% to her employer.

  25. Helen Lawless

    My husband has been away now for 4yrs. Only get to see him long weekends. A romantic weekend would be a dream come true.

  26. Debra

    My best friend of 36 years lives in Victoria & l am in Queensland . Catch up time is difficult both financially & for family reasons.
    There have been some very trying times in her life and now they are somewhat settled l would love to take her to Daylesford to unwind .
    (without her having to stress about the cost of coming up here ! )
    Please 🙂

  27. lmarietta dando

    My husband has recently had to retire to be my cater and has worked harder than ever to look after my needs. He really needs pampering and I would love togive him this weekend for his 60th birthday on the 15th march

  28. Evonne

    Please, I need relaxation and a pamper,
    And maybe a picnic and a hamper
    To unwind and to de-stress
    And be treated like a Princess
    So it’s Daylesford, where I need to be
    So please be kind and pick ME!!!

  29. Beverley Nicol

    Being self-employed, holidays are rare. Now we are slowing down, a taste of healthy pampering in Daylesford may encourage us to take more breaks.

  30. Pam Cotton

    I’d dearly love to win a Daylesford dream weekend,for my husband Mal,who is fighting Macular Degeneration ….I am 80…but there’s no cure for that either!MMMMMM I can almost smell the lavender!

  38. christine

    As a working Mother I would appreciate the opportunity to spend quality time with my teenage daughter in Daylesford. its a juggle to provide financially and do the most important job in the world “parenting” . Sometimes my daughter needs a massage and I am too tired to do this well. We would definitely include a massage in our Daylesford holiday if we were to win.

  39. Jill Bott

    After suffering with sciatica, organising a wedding and moving house after 25 years I feel this would be just what the Doctor ordered. Perfect.

    I have been to Daylesford once with my mother and father when I was young and felt so relaxed. I would love to unwind after being a full time student for six years. I would like to close my eyes and let the tension in my shoulders wash away….

  68. kirsty

    Fighting off exhaustion, sleepless nights with a toddler who refuses to sleep, building a house with a builder that doesnt communicate anything, and trying to find a part time job, my stress levels are through the roof, a mini vacation to forget the daily blues and refresh for the next battle. Take me to Daylesford

  84. Pamela

    Sooooooo need a break/detox/relax/massage/pampering – took to many sleeping tabs last
    week – slept for a couple of days, but not really the break which was beneficial.
    Would luv some fresh air, some muscles tension lumps ironed out, some bubbly water to lighten the body load, space to read the paper and walk. Hope to see you very soon.
    PAM

  85. Christine & Brian Chapman.

    Oh, would love a revitalising break in Daylesford! Have seen the adverts for the famous spa country,including gorgeous spots for a bite to eat,would love to visit Lavandula & Trattoria cafe to taste the famous lavender scones & champagne.We’ve (hubby & I ) not had a break away together for a long time: too long so this would be the perfect solution for a rather worn out mum & dad. Here’s hoping! Over 50’s
