The Book Barn at Daylesford was the recipient of the 2008 HRTA Tourist Award for Outstanding Service.
Relax and unwind by the shores of Lake Daylesford, at one of the region's little gems. The Book Barn offers an Aladdin's cave of quality second hand and rare books. As well as fiction subjects for sale include, Australiana, history, politics, travel and transport, the arts, craft, biography, cooking, gardening, lifestyle, well being, health and personal development. We also have a selection of Children's Books and stock a selected range of Gunbower Creek and Lemon Myrtle Essential cosmetic products.
After a brisk walk or a slow stroll around the lake enjoy the warmth of our fire in autumn/winter or the shaded deck in spring/summer. Enjoy fabulous coffee, the best in Daylesford. From Coffee Basics, luscious cakes and light snacks, which includes soup from the local organic caterer, Spade to Blade, locally made scones with award winning Country Cuisine Jam and extra thick cream. The toasted bagels have achieved cult status.
Take advantage of the complimentary fruit basket and listen to local knowledge from our friendly staff to guide you on to your next Daylesford experience.
The Book Barn is a local institution and well worth a visit. We are pet friendly.
