Shizuka Ryokan Japanese Wellness Retreat & Bathhouse
About the Business
Welcome to Shizuka Ryokan Japanese Wellness Retreat & Bathhouse! Nestled in the picturesque countryside of Hepburn Springs, Victoria, our traditional Japanese inn offers a unique and authentic experience that will transport you to the tranquil world of ancient Japan.
In the past, ryokans were havens for samurai warriors seeking respite and contemplation. At Shizuka Ryokan, we honor this rich history by providing a serene and minimalist space where you can escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Immerse yourself in the soothing ambiance created by tatami mats, yukata robes, bonsai, shoji screens, futon beds, and traditional Japanese architecture. Find inner peace as you stroll through our Zen rock garden, allowing its tranquil energy to wash over you.
Our owner, Catherine Defina, embodies the spirit of ometenashi, the deep-rooted Japanese tradition of hospitality. With her warm and genuine care, along with the dedicated service of our hospitality and spa staff, we ensure that every guest at Shizuka Ryokan feels deeply relaxed and rejuvenated. Whether you choose to indulge in our traditional Japanese cuisine, pamper yourself with spa and wellness treatments, or simply unwind in our peaceful surroundings, your well-being is our top priority.
Conveniently located just 75 minutes away from Melbourne, our retreat is the perfect getaway for those seeking an authentic Japanese experience without venturing too far from home. Explore the enchanting town of Hepburn Springs, renowned for its natural springs and close proximity to the vibrant community of Daylesford. After a day of exploration, return to Shizuka Ryokan and let the tranquility of our retreat envelop you.

Reviews
"I received the face and body massage and the most relaxing time. I was able to chose the oil scent for my massage and I love the products they used for my facial. Very calm and soothing energy the minute you walk in. Would love to come stay sometime and of course get more massages and facials."
"By far the best bathing experience I've had in Hepburn Springs. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The bathing area has been beautifully landscaped, providing a deeply peaceful outdoor experience."
"I recently spent two nights here for my partner's birthday and I genuinely wish I could give this place six stars. As soon as I stepped foot in the ryokan, I could immediately feel the commitment to providing an authentic, hospitable Japanese experience. The combination of caring staff, sweet animals, delicious food and a relaxing environment made this trip one that I'll always remember. I will definitely be sending all my Melbourne friends here if they feel themselves missing Japan, or just in need of some time out from the grind :)"
"The best thing about this place is that they have done well in keeping our stay as authentically Japanese as they can. So simple yet so serene. I love how there is a small pond beside the room where you can here the water flowing as you go to sleep. The food - cannot fault their dinner and breakfast. I admire the young chef, Nana who was so talented. We had the privilege of having a chat with her - she was so gentle and humble and her love for cooking showed in the food she prepared for us. The place is a bit on the pricey side but it was worth it. Loved the simplicity of thd room."
