Cosy on a cold weekend. We walked into town for dinner and them had a very comfy night's sleep in the cottage. The beautiful garden is really peaceful and the impromptu garden tour was much appreciated.

A lovely little getaway

A lovely studio stay that provided me and my wife an easy end to a personal day... saying goodbye to a loved one. The studio was presented in a clean and fresh way surrounded by the beauty of Castlemaine. Thanks, Lisette.

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.

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.

The property was exactly as described and was lovely and cosy. We were pleasantly surprised, by the lovely range of tea and plunger coffee, and the thoughtful and unexpected breakfast supplies. I absolutely love that it was all fully sustainable with no disposable items. I don't think I have even stayed anywhere else that has had a compost bin available, that had solar and really good insulation. The goldfields letter on the wall gave us about 2 hours of entertainment as we tried to read through it. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
