About this property
Teetering over a ravine, with a petrified stone bath older than the dinosaurs
LOCATED AT 211 MAIN ROAD, HEPBURN SPRINGS
Dangled over the edge of a dramatic ravine with postcard views, Precarious exudes industrial elegance and epitomises the very best in luxury accommodation from the Winner of Australia’s No.1 Unique Accommodation. The striking views and otherworldly serenity can’t help but stir your soul. Find your calm in the stunning 20 Million year old petrified stone bath brought to life by the rivers and volcanos of Indonesia, on a private platform overhanging the verge of the ravine in an incredibly picturesque setting.
The thrill of staying somewhere truly unique is hard to beat. There’s something about this type of travel that gets under your skin and makes you long for more. More salvaged timber, more suspended fireplaces, more incredible architecture, more stunning views…more of everything! We’re immensely proud of this rare hideaway that cries out for whisky or gin in front of the gorgeous wood fireplace on a winter’s night. We’ve crafted a stunning escape genuinely unlike anything you’ve ever seen before.
The only accommodation of its kind. From the world’s only camphor laurel bath with fibre optic lighting in the walls, to the exotic industrial pipe lighting, private cliffside deck, indoor and outdoor baths, moody design vibe and hellishly sexy private wellness precinct.

About the host
Hosted by David Penman

Clifftop is a family business and we're extremely passionate about what we do. Our mission is to be Australia's leading provider of UNIQUE luxury accommodation. Nowadays, our daughter Chloe runs the business and leads an incredible team that is proud to offer such breathtaking and unique accommodation to you so that you can enjoy a well-deserved break and relax in ultimate comfort.
Why they chose this property
By the time we found the perfect land to build Clifftop and open the doors in 2016 it was too late¿it had already been sold! But that didn¿t stop my wife Mani. We¿d made an offer but never heard back, so she called the vendor and asked why they wouldn¿t be interested in a better offer. It turns out our offer had been lost in the woodwork and we were stunned when the vendor put 209 Main Road back on the market to canvas new offers and sold it to us. Yippee! It truly was an amazing ending to 12 months of searching for the perfect real estate.
What makes this property unique
The Daylesford and Hepburn Springs area is such a truly amazing area. Its just a stone¿s throw from Melbourne and is such a vibrant town with quirky shops, wineries, markets and an incredibly well know food scene that has attracted global accolades. And let¿s not forget that its was voted the World¿s 4th most welcoming town and one of the world¿s top wellbeing destinations.
