Perfect for us!
The photos don’t do this gorgeous place justice! We loved our stay. Super comfy, relaxed and great spaces. Each day was over 30 degrees and this sandstone gem stayed cool and comfortable throughout. We walked into town each evening, ! cooked breakfast at home and had a cheese platter under the grape vine in the evening. Perfect! Thanks Tobbie

Lovely stay at Castlemaine
My family and I had a short stay over the Christmas period. The unit was very clean and comfy and we loved how close it was to the centre of Castlemaine. We had a really lovely stay.

Welcoming and warm
We loved our stay here and hope to visit again in future - a wonderful space with extremely helpful hosts.
Very close and convenient. Steep tricky driveway. Quite a unique hideaway with lovely owner. Mattress on bottom bunk could use some padding. Otherwise nice amenities and thoughtful decor

3 day stay
We really enjoyed the cosy living area and patio. The beds were comfortable. Close and walkable to everything we needed. It felt good coming back to such a cosy place after sightseeing all day. Heater on, feet up. Eventually found enough power points to charge things.
We had a great stay in the house. Great communication from the host. My primary aged boys loved the bunk beds and the toys available. Good location.
