5.00As a local I was delighted to see Hepburn with fresh eyes, what an amazing opportunity to walk the village with stories of first Swiss Italian settlers....why did they come, how did they find Hepburn, how did they survive? Daisy weaves a fascinating picture of hardship, resilience and comradeship. Their legacy and stories shared with passion and enthusiasm - thankyou Daizy

It really was such a special treat to align this discovery stroll with the Swiss Italian Festa 2025 and hear about the Old Macaroni Factory and end with a celebratory Prosecco and Italian style aperitif. Thank you!!

5.00Alice's Il Cammino di Hepburn: A Walk Through History Alice's "Il Cammino di Hepburn" offered us a wonderful and informative walk through Hepburn Springs, deeply exploring its unique Swiss and Italian heritage. The tour, led by Daizy, brings to life the stories of early settlers, showcasing their impact on the region's architecture, culture, and culinary scene. The journey included highlights like what is believed to be the oldest Italian commercial building in Australia (Luccini's Old Macaroni Factory), providing fascinating insights into the origins of pasta manufacturing in the country. The small group setting fostered a personalized experience, allowing for engaging questions and a deeper connection to the narratives. More than just a sightseeing tour, "Il Cammino di Hepburn" provided a rich context for Hepburn Springs' historical significance, weaving in the importance of its mineral springs to the early community. Concluding at a local establishment, the walk is a captivating blend of storytelling, architectural discovery, and local history, highly recommended for anyone looking to understand the true essence of Hepburn Springs.

5.00Fine place. My wife and I had gado gado in the shaded courtyard on a warm evening, sipped happy hour white wines and listened to seasoned sprightly singer songwriters. All staff efficient and friendly.
