This is a special place. The setting is beautiful and the cottage is very comfortable and snug even on the coldest winter night (2 great gas heaters). Scott and Laura are fabulous and accomodating hosts. Free for a chat and a cup of tea if you want one but also respecting of privacy as well - the best of both worlds. I loved being off grid - a hideaway powered by the sun (and a bit of quiet genie in mid-Winter). Free unlimited internet, Netflix, coffee machine all perfect for the cold quiet winter days and nights of my stay.Waking up surrounded by eucalypts and going for peaceful walks was lovely. I will definitely return.

We had a wonderful couple of days at Laura and Scotts place. It is set in beautiful tranquil bushland and the accommodation itself is delightful. The quality of everything is superb and Laura made sure we had everything we needed and was an extremely attentive host. The kitchen and bathroom had all the basics and a few nice extra's such a fab coffee machine, candles and a decanter of port! We fell in love with Molly and Digger, our furry visitors and we will most certainly be back. Thank you Laura and Scott for everything.:)

Beautiful property and immaculate accommodation. Laura and Scott are lovely host's. You will not regret staying at Gondwana Land highly recommended :-)

A beautiful serene location overlooking a tree covered landscape. Laura and Scott were great in their constant communication before and during the stay. The place was well equipped with ample supplies in the fridge and cupboard. Appreciated also the added touches of chocolates and port on arrival. The wifi worked very well with Netflix an added welcomed bonus. Happily recommended staying here for a peaceful and restful stay with very hospitable hosts!

Highly recommend this property as the hosts cater to your every need to ensure you have a pleasant stay. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back sometime in the future.

We visited Laura's and Scott's home for relaxing winter weekend. Arriving after dark - with the assistance of Laura's helpful emailed directions - we found a warm welcome with the lights and heaters on. Scott showed us around and emphasised how we could ask them at any time if we wanted assistance. As it turns out, the accomodation was so well set up that no assistance was necessary. Laura's and Scott's home is perfect for a weekend getaway. Sparkling clean, modern facilities and extensively stocked with those little extras that make the stay even more comfortable. I don't think we've ever stayed in an Airbnb with more supplies and comforts laid on for the visitors. We love this area of Victoria. We certainly hope to go back to Laura's and Scott's in the future.

Wow, what an amazing place Laura and Scott offer! We love the tranquility whilst also having all the luxuries one could wish for. The book about the bushland development with the stories about all efforts they and their neighbors have put into their off grid community only increased our admiration for them. It's a lovely place to unwind and relax, and we only wish for a longer stay. We truly recommend to stay with these excellent hosts!

Fantastic hosts and excellent unit. Highly recommend.

Cute little cottage that was very well presented and had everything we needed for our stay. Henri was a great host, easy to communicate with, met us on arrival providing an explanation of the property and sightseeing suggestions for the region.

Cosy, very comfortable little house- would definitely stay again.

Twin Palms is a delight. Location is perfect. The accomodation is so cosy and clean. Its just perfect for a country retreat. Henri is a gentleman and check in and out was a breeze. We will be back. This is what AIRBNB is all about!

The house was in a great location, with modern decor and very clean. The heating came in very useful in the cool autumn evenings. Henri was a very helpful host, and the material in the house was great for deciding where to go. Thank you!

What a great find! Twin Palms is so comfortable and stylish, as well as being clean, tidy and having everything we needed including bikes. The location was perfect; close to Castlemaine shops and weekend markets. Henri was a perfect host, assisting us with check-in and going above & beyond to provide everything we needed. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

great place. Warm, cosy, well equipped, good linen and towels, soap and shampoos. Town walkable but the is car much easier. We enjoyed beautiful sunset walks through the gully and along the creek that is directly out the back of this great find

Beautiful quiet two bedroom cottage with all the added extras needed for a lovely stay. Would highly recommend a stay at Twin Palms.

Had a wonderful stay at Henri's House. Very clean, charming and within walking distance of town and local markets. Henri was very accessible and accommodating during our stay.

We had the most amazing stay. The cottage is really house size and it's warm and cosy and beautiful. Anne and her partner are lovely as well and we had a great walk in the bush. Really lovely little bits like nice shampoo and bread, eggs, juice and real coffee topped off our stay. Highly recommended for a super chill out in the bush.

I can't rate this place high enough. It was the perfect place to switch off for a weekend of total relaxation. Anne had both fire places lit when we arrived so it was cosy and welcoming. We will definitely be booking again for next winter.

Had a lovely stay at Anne's place. It was just as the description says. The personal touches and care Anne took to prepare the cottage for our stay really made this a standout. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Our stay at Granny Thomas Cottage exceeded all our expectations! Thank-you so much Anne for such a warm, welcoming environment with beautiful and thoughtful 'touches' evident throughout. Your provisions were delicious and very much appreciated and I don't know how sheets can be crisp and soft at the same time... but you did it! Our teenage children didn't want to leave, which is a tall order. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend GTC to anyone seeking a quiet, charming and convenient place to recharge.

My daughter stayed with Anne and had a great time. Anne was a great host, very easy to correspond with and quick to respond to ant question. She went out of her way to return an umbrella that was left at the cottage, which was really appreciated. I would certainly recommend Anne highly.

喜欢我住在小屋。美丽的住宿和安妮为我们的到来起火,很难离开!肯定会回来

Thanks Anne! We had a great couple of days at the cottage. I especially loved that when we arrived the fires were lit and you left us loads of yummy foods to enjoy!

The cottage is such a cosy place to stay. Lovely fires and nice walks. Anne provides lots of nice treats to enjoy during your stay. We love the place and will definitely be back again.

Had a very enjoyable (EMAIL HIDDEN)munication, cleanliness and position of property all excellent. Would not hesitate to recommend. Thanks again Peter, will definitely be back

Fantastic location, extremely well equipped cottage with every little detail thought of and a great host.

The most adorable cottage tastefully decorated in the heart of town but pleasantly quiet and tucked away. Great heating throughout for the coldest of winter nights. Thank you Peter for being great host.

What a gem! Staying in a historic home that has been so thoughtfully renovated was a privilege. Tasteful and very comfortable. 2 minute walk to main street and shops. We loved it.

Lovely place, with lots of welcoming touches from the host. Central location, so most of the town is easy walking distance. We had a great week there.

Very neat and comfortable home in a perfect location. Peter is a generous host.

Our stay at Union house was very enjoyable. The house is very clean with excellent amenities. The beds were very comfortable. Peter had generously supplied extra goodies for us, which was a pleasant surprise. I would recommend this accommodation to anyone looking for comfortable central accommodation in Castlemaine.

Beautiful location and handy access to all shops in Castlemaine which was a lovely town to visit. Union House exceeded our expectations.

It's a very romantic little cottage, warm and cozy. Phil was very nice and helpful, and they left delicious organic milk, OJ, coffee and sourdough bread for breakfast. The jacuzzi was delightful and at night we got to sit down outside and listen to the frogs. We loved our stay and we'll definitely be going back if we are again in the area.

The cottage was the perfect way to spend a weekend whilst attending the Bruce Springsteen concert at Hanging Rock. The ambiance and welcome from Phil and Deb made the weekend even more enjoyable. We would highly recommend any couple to stay there.

Charming, cosy cottage in a relaxed environment , just as described and seen in the pictures. Organic milk , coffee and orange juice as well as tea leaves not tea bags, nice touch. Easy walks to do right behind the cottage. Chewton has some lovely old buildings and history. Wesley Hill market was just up the road. Thank you for a memorable stay.

Very pretty cottage at the bottom of the garden. Fresh OJ, coffee and local sourdough are a very thoughtful touch. Thanks for a great stay!

We loved our stay at Ottery Cottage! It was so perfectly set up for a blissful couples getaway - they've thought of everything. The only negative part of the experience was having to pack up and leave. I'm sure we'll be back to visit again.

Such lovely hosts with great communication. It was such a cosy stay and everyone in the area is so friendly. Luxury in a small town. Loved our stay!

Thank you for such a fabulous stay, so comfortable, cosy and relaxing - just what we were looking for. Debbie and Phil were great hosts, and we hope to return soon!

My partner and I stayed in a cold May weekend 2017. A stunning little stone cottage, with views out over the creek and to the beautiful hills beyond. This is by far one of the most romantic places I've ever slept, cosy, soft, warm and intimate. The way the daylight filters through the little windows, the brilliant autumn leaves visible out every window, the kangaroos and goats and kookaburras who bounce and wobble and dive around outside were spectacular. There is a perfect little hill to watch the sunset from, our hosts even provided little outdoor cushions for our viewing pleasure. The fenceline for the cottage runs along a lovely little creek that has walking paths in either direction, and the light changed so mesmerisingly throughout the day, we basically spent the weekend expanding out into the natural landscape and then contracting into our comfy little abode. The gas fire heats the place perfectly, the kitchen is equipped with all the things you might need to rustle up a culinary storm. And the jacuzzi was exactly what the doctor ordered. Comfy bed, lovely history, and a respectful intimate privacy provided by our delightful hosts. This place is excellent value, we will be back for sure. :-)

Mary was very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. The studio is even better than the photos show and is a well designed space. The bed is very comfortable, there is reverse-cycle aircon, great little kitchen and we loved the funky tiles in the bathroom ...also there are not many Airbnb places that come replete with a baby grand. It is a perfect place to relax and explore Castlemaine.

After a night trip from Melbourne, it was great to be able to have a late arrival organised with Mary. She even ensured the heating was turned on in anticipation. This studio packs a lot of open space and creature spoils - heated bed blankets, air con/heating and even a piano!! Which we loved playing whenever we were in and out. Mary left a beautiful note and wine for us and fresh flowers, which made my partner feel very special as it was his birthday! We had the best sleep in a large glorious and comfortable bed, plenty of wonderful hot water to wash the day away and enjoyed cooking our dinner in the self-contained kitchen. At night we were able to step outside and enjoy the view of the star-splattered sky from the spacious verandah. Overall, a fantastic weekend getaway, and to be able to stay somewhere so beautiful, and literally on the doorstep of town, was definitely the cream on the cake! We'll be back, and definitely recommend this place to everyone! Enjoy - we sure did! :)

Mary's home is a peaceful sanctuary amongst the beautiful countryside of Castlemaine. I couldn't have asked for a better place to escape the hustle and bustle of Melbourne. With a surround sound system and baby grand piano Mary's home is everything described and some! If you're looking for a lovely host and quiet, clean and quaint place to stay, look no further.

Mary is a great hostess place is lovely,800 m from everything

Great place right near the centre of Castlemaine, amazing hifi system and good collection of books. Everything you need for either a short or long stay.

Wonderful clean, warm place with a baby grand piano and an excellent sound system. Very recently built by the looks of it, in excellent condition. We have no hesitation in recommending the place.

This is a great place to stay - Jodi's miner's cottage is very clean and tasteful, with a lovely atmosphere. Jodi was welcoming and friendly and her keen interest in flowers means there are beautiful arrangements everywhere. I'd warmly recommend her place to others.

A cosy cottage in a convenient location. Bedroom a bit small, but cottage is comfortable and warm. Host Jodi is friendly and welcoming.

Cute room with a great house and host. Thanks again :)

Fabulous!! Jodi is an extremely kind and interesting host who is warm and welcoming. The room is so sweeet and little Computer (Jodi's cat) is adorable! I had a lovely time and would highly recommend Jodi's place for a visit to Castlemaine!

Jodie place is full of character and personality. Jodie's a lovely host I really enjoyed my stay

I definitely recommend Jodi's place. Comfortable, quiet and beautiful. She is so kind, and always making everything possible to make you feel home. We loved! Many thanks Jodi.

We had a wonderful stay in this bright little cottage. The house's historical aspects were well complemented by modern upgrades, and it was warm and light. It was beautiful to wake to birdsong and be able to walk to the local Saturday markets and access all else the beautiful region has to offer. Thank you Brigid for sharing this lovely place.

(URL HIDDEN)We adored this this gorgeous little cottage, had everything we could possibly want, beautifully furnished, well equipped, spotlessly clean. 3 old friends spend a long weekend together for one of our 50th birthdays. Brigid was the perfect host, gracious and generous with impeccable communication. WE WILL RETURN ASAP

Yes a cute cottage , yes close to town and cafe . Very unclean , bathroom , beds , linen , fridge ,all filthy . Mould on Matresses, stains on Sheets and towels . No aircon and unable to open windows ,painted shut. No screens for bugs even if you could .

This quaint cottage with modern kitchen and bathroom was very comfortable for 3 people or two couples, with a cosy lounge and a good size kitchen/dining room. The break from tv was compensated by a great library, but wifi unfortunately not working while we were there. The cottage was close to town and a quick drive out into the magnificent countryside. This area would be beautiful in any season. We loved all the original cottages in Castlemaine and the streetscapes and shopping opportunities in nearby Kyneton and Daylesford.

Sweetest, little cottage that made us feel right at home. Couldn't have asked for a cosier space for our weekend away. But of a longer walk into town but we love walking so suited us! Highly recommend!!!

My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Brigid's cute cottage. It was very comfortable, clean and flooded with natural light. The cottage is also home to a pretty amazing library if you are a bit of a bibliophile. Our bed was very comfortable and coupled with a quiet neighborhood, we slept like logs. The hub of Castlemaine is a 15-20 minute stroll away past the Wesley Hill market space. Brigid's communication was always prompt and she was very accommodating to our needs. We hope we can stay in this gem again sometime soon.

Wonderful cottage and beautifully appointed. Close to the markets and to town. Very private and peaceful.

This place was perfect for a last minute trip to Castlemaine. It's been newly renovated and so was a real pleasure to stay in. It was peaceful and quiet. Brigid's communication was excellent too. Would soundly recommend staying here.

We had a wonderful anniversary weekend staying at Henrietta’s. Very clean, very comfortable, a lovely place to wake up in, have breakfast in, relax in, sleep in. We had the property to ourselves and total privacy. The heating makes the place nice and warm in the Castlemaine winter. Difficult to get out of bed as it was all too comfortable. The décor of the house is beautifully eclectic, and the bathroom, kitchen and lounge covered all our needs plus more, (loved the towels and sheets, the enormous fridge, we went to Wesley Hill markets and into town, cooked ourselves a fabulous dinner in the kitchen). The spa is great (love the wine glass holders!) and the bathroom very stylish. Garden outlooks from every window, the property is very established, you can feel the history. Only about 2 minutes drive from Castlemaine. Thankyou for a perfect getaway, we will be back!

Had a great stay at Henriettas! So private and cosy, not really big screen telly people so after dinner we perused the bookshelf instead, put the stereo on, dinner and wines by the fireplace. Bathroom mural is beautiful, quality everything. Loved it!

As a first time stay in an Airbnb place, I have to say it was an easy and pleasant experience. Kerri was warm, friendly and helpful. No fuss at all. Too easy. The house is really lovely and it’s accurately described, with a stylish and charming, vintage, sort of Art-Deco feel. Country warmth with a nice combination of an elegant but charming homely sort of place, with character. We loved the ambience in the lounge room! It's cool in Castlemaine in autumn but the various heaters warmed the whole house. The house is nice and quiet with plenty of places to relax. It would be really great in summer with lots of outdoor entertainment areas or sit with a quiet drink places with serene views. Our little dog loved the place too, with so much garden to sniff! The large back courtyard is totally secure so we could let him run. Chewton is a charming little town not far from Castlemaine. We had no trouble filling in the days with some beautiful walking trails and interesting places to visit. We found some great historic sites in the bush. Honestly, we would have been content staying in all weekend though. Highly recommended for a quiet week or weekend away. All in all, like a long weekend away in a friend's home. Our stay was much too short, but just what the doctor ordered. We'd love to come back!

We had a quiet weekend away in Castlemaine with the kids and the Artist's Corner was a perfect spot for us. Very family friendly place with lots of toys and games for the kids, very cosy in the evenings. Less than 5 minutes into town by car.

We had a very enjoyable, relaxing stay at Monique and Michael’s picturesque cottage. The ambience and facilities were first class. The bed was very comfortable and the cosy rooms added to the experience. It is a quiet place within easy reach of the main centre of Castlemaine. It was lovely to meet Monique briefly and then to be able to enjoy and to peruse her very creative artwork displayed in the cottage. We have no hesitation in recommending this airbnb for folk who may wish to stay in the area. The cottage is suitable for all age groups.

Artists Corner is a beautiful space where one can feel right at home in a lovely historic town of Castlemaine. Close to downtown, we loved visiting the numerous galleries, art spaces, cafe's, markets & historic buildings. The house is a lovely relaxing home we would recommend "Artist Corner" to families visiting the region.

Amazing cute house just two minutes drive from Castlemaine centre. The house has everything you need to have a comfortable stay, including a couple of bikes which you can use to go around the area. It is located in a very peaceful area but close enough to a supermarket, restaurants and pubs.

Artist's Corner was a perfect base for a weekend of walking and eating in Castlemaine. The house was cosy and warm even in the middle of Winter and immaculately presented yet homely with lots of interesting artworks on the walls. We loved the native gardens surrounding the house and the peaceful outlook from the bedroom. We look forward to visiting again soon! Many thanks.

A lovely cottage which is comfortable and well appointed. The house is ideal for a small family (or couple) with a well equipped kitchen (including coffee machine). The house has a really lovely native garden and outlook to bushland and is in a quiet area of Castlemaine. The location is an easy 20-30 minute walk or 5 minute drive into town. Michael and Mon were very accommodating hosts and we appreciated the extra touches they provided including being pet friendly.

It was an absolute pleasure staying at Artists Corner. A beautiful cosy home perfect for a relaxing getaway. Personal touches everywhere, everything we needed at our fingertips. Lovely beds and linen ensured a great nights sleep. A very enjoyable family stay that I would highly recommend to everyone!! Nancy

Peter is easy communicate ,love to chat,at Peter's place i felt like living in 19 century. in house full of antiques and (URL HIDDEN) great value for a budget staying a night or 2

Perfect for the quick trip to Castlemaine. Accomodation saved me from riding back at night. Warm and comfortable room for one.

彼得是一个真正的寒冷的家伙,他的房子既古怪又舒适,步行距离主要的地带,但很好的幽静与一个凉爽的花园。推荐一晚或几晚的住宿

那么那么酷喜欢的地方,超级好客绝对回去

Nice place to hang around.

Had no worries about staying here with Peter. Location was very easy to get to, dog was friendly but not overbearing. Cruisy walk into the township down a main road, bit dark at night but no worries. Room was cozy and Peter was happy to talk through directions and the go to spots in the town. Great place to stay if you want to see something at Theatre Royal.

Relaxed atmosphere and it was private yet not a lonely experience with chooks, kids and Stan around. Lovely thanks

We enjoyed the privacy this room offers. Cosy and warm with your own toilet and shower. It has direct access from the street so you can come in and out without disturbing anyone. Really enjoyed it. Thanks Luke and Kirby!

Very comfortable stop over at Luke and Kirby's place in Castlemaine. They are a lovely family and very good hosts. Found Castlemaine a pleasant surprise and will put it on my list of places to come back to visit.

Luke and family were really friendly and welcoming. Very close to town. We enjoyed our stay, thank you.

Cosy little granny flat with a comfortable double bed. Kirby was very courteous and friendly. Well within walking distance of restaurants and 2 minutes from the train station. Nice location and friendly host.

Everything I needed, and more was provided. Luke and Kirby gave me privacy but were available if needed. Very comfortable and so peaceful!

While my partner and I's stay at Luke and Kirby's was only short (one night), it was perfect, especially that the room was warmed up for us on arrival. We'd come to Castlemaine to see a show at the Theatre Royal. Everything in Castlemaine was an easy walking distance from the bungalow. A quick walk to the Railway Hotel, where we had dinner, and a quick walk from and to the train station. The room was so cosy, very clean and Kirby was very friendly in our quick chat on arrival. Overall, a very enjoyable experience. We would definitely stay again.

We enjoyed our stay at Luke & Kirby's. Didn't get to see the owners but we were welcomed by a friendly family dog which kept our company. It's close to station, garden and shops but in quiet residential area. The room was converted from shed so got a bit hot but thankfully it cooled down in the evening. It's small but has pretty much everything you need and a separate bathroom wasn't much issue. Will definitely return again!

Perfect little country cottage

A beautiful secluded spot with outstanding views. Grant & James were very hospitable, helpful and generous. The two fireplaces created a cosy house and a perfect Winter escape. Thank you for the stay, look forward to a Summer escape there in the future!

This is a really great place to stay if you are after some seclusion (great stars and fireplaces and comfy home off the grid) and also want be close to nice cafes and the historic towns of Castlemaine and Bendigo. Hosts James and Grant were very helpful and welcoming to our family of four for our visit.

This is a beautiful cottage high up in the Chewton hills. The house is just as it is listed, and the support from Grant and James was excellent. It's off the grid, so you come to appreciate all those little luxuries you take for granted in the city, but there's real satisfaction in building the fires and connecting with nature. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who felt comfortable off-grid. We plan to go back at another time of year. (Mid-winter was beautiful, but pretty chilly).

The most beautiful cottage to stay. The views were amazing and the stars at night were so clear. The cottage had everything we needed. The fires were lit on arrival made it nice and cosy in the winter. The house is beautifully decorated. Our hosts made for easy communication and recommendations for local shopping and food. It was the perfect weekend away, if only we could stay longer. Would definitely be back and highly recommend.

Very pleasant stay. Very well appointed and comfortable. Excellent location. Great wood heater which was much appreciated as it was -2 one night.

This place is wonderful, in a great location. The only reason I wouldn't say fabulous things about it is because everyone else will go there! The place is cosy, beautifully furnished and well equipped. The bed was wonderful, the claw foot bath well used and nights in front of the fire were just the antidote to a busy life. The perfect place for a couple to get away and catch up on life and each other. It is easy walking distance to shops and quietly tucked away behind a B&B. I would absolutely recommend this place and hope to return myself.

The Dairy is the perfect place for a romantic and relaxing getaway. Gorgeous private cottage, walking distance to the town centre. We loved the fireplace, which was roaring when we arrived, the claw foot bath and the very comfortable bed. Thanks for having us Donna - we would definitely recommend The Dairy!

Very cosy and comfortable. The fire, king bed and the bath added a level of luxury, very beautifully presented and homely. Would certainly stay here again.

A perfect cosy retreat in the middle of town. Lovely and light, great fire, good kitchen if you wanted to eat in (although Donna gave us great tips on where to eat and with so many wonderful options, why would you cook?). What a wonderful weekend.

The Dairy was just gorgeous! I loved everything about it. The standard of the property was amazing. The claw foot bath and wood fire were absolute highlights. Comfortable bed, well stocked with all the necessities. Hosts were very friendly. Overall a magical place to stay. Highly recommend.

Great bed! Donna's place was perfectly located for our stay in Castlemaine. The location was quiet and we enjoyed the wood heater with plenty of wood just outside the door. Just needed a packet of Castlemaine ground coffee for the plunger! We would stay again happily. Thank you for having us.

This is a great place to stay. It's clean, warm and cosy with an amazing fire that was roaring when we arrived. Great location and the host, Donna is lovely and very helpful.

Our family very much enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. It was clean and comfortable and Annie went out of her way to make us feel at home. Highly recommended.

This house was amazing, it really made our weekend super relaxing. The house was immaculately presented with gorgeous furnishings and lots of little touches that made it just perfect. The hammock under the willow tree was brilliant. Very private spot at the end of the street. Annie was really lovely, left a delicious loaf of fresh bread and lots of information about the town and surrounds. We would love to come back for another relaxing holiday!

This is the second time we have stayed at Hidden Valley and we added an extra day this time as we like it so much. Again, so comfortable, tranquil and relaxing, with a thoughtful host. Highly recommended.

Annie's hidden retreat was amazing! The house itself is perfect, plenty of light, big rooms and all the mod cons. Lots of natural light and plantation shutters, and a well equipped kitchen. But the setting really is incredible. It's on a valley at the end of a cul de sac, plenty of privacy and an amazing back yard, and still close to town. Annie was really helpful and welcoming, and I'll definitely be coming back. Couldn't recommend the place highly enough :)

Annie was a wonderful host - she went out of her way to get things I didn't even expect to find there (eg. high chair for my baby; a gate for the stairs) and she offered suggestions of ways i could make the most of her space (like the best way to set up the hammock for pure indulgence!). The home is so peaceful and cosy.... high quality furnishings (things I'd pick for my own home), a beautiful outlook, a great location (easy, lovely walk into town). I loved all the lamps too - they add so much character and charm. I went there to relax, unnwind and nurture myself in nature and that's exactly what happened. I hope to return for a break as often as i can - it's the perfect retreat from melbourne. Thanks so much Annie xxxx

This really is a magical place... the pictures really don't do it justice.... we spent a wonderful afternoon nestled in the hammock beneath the willow tree... gorgeous... truely relaxing!! Anne was a most accommodating host, picking us up from the train station, giving us a tour of Castlemaine and being rather lax with our check in/out times. We would definitely recommend the Hidden Valley Retreat and Castlemaine!!

Thanks so much, Annie, we had a wonderful time at Hidden Valley. It had a lovely peaceful feel to it, which is exactly what we wanted.

Great hose and great location. Annie was very accommodating and helpful with locating a high chair for our little bubs.

Our stay with Suzanne was perfect. Lovely comfortable room in her welcoming home. We only had an overnight stay as we were visiting the area from Melbourne but it suited us very well. Suzanne welcomed us and made us feel at home. We spent a very full day in Castlemaine . Breakfast at Das Kaffeehaus at The Mill complex..... Highly recommended on all fronts. Visited the local galleries and boutiques. A regional town well worth a visit.

My partner & I stayed at Suzanne's for one night, it was very comfortable, clean & welcoming. Suzanne is very friendly, we had some great conversation about Castlemaine. Would defiantly recommend the private room, also only a 5 minute walk into town.

I arrived at Suzanne's home with my two girls (dogs) and was immediately made to feel welcome and the girls were no problem. The home is comfortable and is within easy walking distance to the main shopping centre. Very comfortable room and bed. Would highly recommend.

A lovely home. Beautifully designed , spotless and comfortable bed. Suzanne was a great host and I highly recommend this accomodation if you're travelling to Castlemaine. The photos don't do it justice. I walked into Castlemaine easily from Suzanne's, took about 5mins. The street is very quiet with very easy parking. Thank you Suzanne.

Our arrival was very easy to arrange and Suzanne made us feel welcome and at home from the moment we stepped in the door. We were able to use all the facilities included the newly installed kitchen. It was easy to fit in with each other's routine for cooking meals and use of the bathroom. Our room was clean and the bed comfortable. Suzanne's place is located within 15 minutes walk to the main street of Castlemaine. Suzanne's description of her home is accurate. We would have no hesitation in staying there again in the future.

The room at Suzanne's was just what we needed as we traveled by bike along the goldfields trail. Comfortable, clean, quiet, and a short walk from the centre of town. Suzanne was friendly and provided everything as advertised, and let us do a load of washing. We would recommend her place to anyone visiting Castlemaine.

Suzanne has put together her guest space in an artful and considerate way. There are just the basics but everything needed to be comfortable. The space stays warm and cozy which is important during Castlemaine's winter months. Her whole place is beautifully presented with plenty of modernist touches. Suzanne is a friendly and yet discrete host which is much appreciated. Thank you to Suzanne. We would gladly stay again.

Suzanne has a lovely, warm and inviting home. I was only passing through and stayed for one night, but the bed and pillows were extremely comfortable and there was always a cup of tea on offer, which after a long trip was just what I needed.

As previously posted!

Everything about this place is superb - the unique, stylish and functional living space, the beautiful and well positioned location, everything you need for a relaxing break is right there. We can't wait to go back! Thank-you, Sharon.

Sharon's place was wonderful. It was great to get away and relax in a comfy place in a beautiful location. With the beautiful wood fire heater and fully equipped kitchen, we didn't want to leave!

Beautifully serene place to get away from it all.

The host canceled this reservation 21 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

We had a great time in this serene environment. The house is amazing, luxurious without being grandiose. Perfect for some quite R&R.
