Nice place to stay in lovely Castlemaine
Nice quaint little bungalow in a quiet street. Had everything we needed for a 1 night stay and was close to the town centre. Lack of television didn't bother us in the slightest! - It was nice to have some quiet after a long day. We didnt meet the owners, but the little dog was super cute. Would stay again.

It was close to town but still felt really private. Loved the whole vibe of the place with the overgown cottage garden and beautiful brick arch as you enter. Everything inside was clean and well presented.

Comfortable stay
This accommodation is as described, and the host is hospitable with some extra touches ( fruit bread and some milk/teas.The bed is comfortable and the shower is great. The towels are rough and dishcloths were smelly.As we were travelling by train, during a heatwave, we very much appreciated the friendly and very efficient taxi service.

Great Space for 1-2 Near Town Centre
We enjoyed our 2 nights, bed very comfy, extra homely touches like variety of tea leaves, home-ground coffee, fresh fruit, raisin bread etc. Very quiet area, a few train noises, but pretty birdsongs too!

Quirky
Pleasant surprises and charm. Lovely array of loose leaf teas provided. Useful mini kitchenette and seating to self cater for small meals - microwave and toaster provided. Rambling garden in front of main house. View from the accommodation unit is into the side of the main house (doesn’t seem to be used though) and of the side verandah on which there is a large water heater (which provided heaps of hot water so much appreciated). There is a strong sense of, and practice of energy sustainability in the set up so the conversation with the owner was very interesting. On street parking right outside the entrance gate. Warm, clean and appropriately priced for its accommodation level.

My Stay in Castlemaine
The property was well maintained. I met Peter when I arrived. He was welcoming and gave me some tips on entering and leaving the property. The studio was well maintained and Peter provided delicious fruit bread for toasting together with milk, butter and tea. Bed was comfortable. All up a nice place to stay.
