Lake House,Restaurant,Daylesford

Lake House, a restaurant in Daylesford, Australia, opened 40 years ago and has had a significant impact on the tourism and hospitality scene. Co-owned by Allan Wolf-Tasker and Alla Wolf-Tasker, the restaurant was initially difficult to find but has since become a renowned establishment.

It wasn’t easy to find Lake House back when the restaurant opened 40 years ago. To begin with, barely anyone had even heard of Daylesford , then a rural outpost north of Melbourne with a few potato farmers and a shrinking population.

Back then, Alla and Allan were a young couple with big ideas and little experience. Allan, who sadly passed away in December 2022, would go on to become a renowned artist and Alla one of the country’s pre-eminent hospitality professionals. Lake House itself would become a cherished Victorian establishment, an award-winning property that was part of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, featuring a restaurant that has picked up a record 76 chef’s hats from,” Alla recalls.

Lake House now seems to make so much sense – it’s exactly what many modern-day travellers are looking for. It’s boutique and intimate, with a warmth you will never get at a big chain. It has a high-quality restaurant showcasing produce from the local area. It’s luxurious without being snooty. It’s accessible from Melbourne, though a world away from the big city.

This is a special year for Alla, her daughter Larissa Wolf-Tasker, and the entire team at Lake House. It’s their 40th birthday, a time to look back on their past, plan their future, and consider the effect this restaurant and hotel have had on what was once a small rural hamlet with little going for it.
