About this cottage rental
STONE EDGE is a beautiful & tranquil property set in a lovely garden located in a prime position close to the Botanical Gardens, "The Mill" & Castlemaine Town.
The property consists of a main cottage & two beautiful sandstone cottages "North" & "South". These two can be let out separately or together. Both cottages have super comfy king size beds & each is unique in character.
The North Cottage features a luxurious spa bath in the bathroom and a gorgeous sandstone fireplace in the living room. Perfect for those cooler months. A fully equipped kitchen and gas stove makes this cottage ideal for longer stays or a foodies weekend. A large private courtyard flows from the bedroom.
The South Cottage features a beautiful sandstone fireplace in the bedroom. Enjoy sitting by the fire or snuggling into bed. Relax in a huge roman style shower in the bathroom. The cosy living space has a kitchenette & outdoor courtyard to enjoy.
From STONE EDGE a 20 min stroll through the renowned Botanical Gardens takes you to "The Mill Castlemaine". Wander the eclectic Vintage Bazaar, check out Platform No.5 for recycled furniture & goods, and enjoy a meal at the cafe & coffee roastery. Visit the Brewery & Taproom for an ale or cider or Boomtown Co-operative winery, or simply enjoy a gelato at "Icecream Social". Visit "The Bridge" or "The Railway" for a good local pub meal.
From STONE EDGE drive into the centre of Castlemaine.... 3 minutes away.... to explore more cafes, restaurants, pubs, shops, galleries & the Restorers Barn. Alternately walk via the botanical gardens which takes around 35 minutes. There is also a fantastic information centre in town.

We absolutely loved staying at Stone Edge Cottage. The cottage was stunning and very comfortable. Everything we needed was provided including yummy bread, cheese, fruit, coffee and breakfast goodies. Castlemaine and Bendigo are great towns with lots to see and enjoy. Thankyou Jackie for you care in renovating the cottage and making it available.

Stone Edge South Cottage was the perfect place for me to spend a few days away to celebrate my birthday. Jackie and David made me feel so welcome and comfortable with nothing more I could have asked for. Food provisions were generous, the cottage lovingly renovated and styled and the comfy bed, play list and open fire were just perfect! Embraced in a beautiful bush setting close to town, Stone Edge has both convenience and relaxing solitude. Thank you Jackie and David for making my stay so memorable and special. I do hope to see you both again.
I highly recommend Stone Edge for accommodation consideration when travelling to Castlemaine or nearby.

We had such a wonderful anniversary in the South Cottage. Every detail was delightful and the impeccable but cheerful lodgings are exceedingly comfortable. We won't spoil the treats from the hosts, but evidently all seasons and tastes are well catered for.
The stylish living area/couch is comfortably stacked with cosy cushions to relax, and the adjoining kitchen/meals is well equipped with all the utensils and condiments you need, plus some wonderful fresh produce surprises to make your breakfast sing. The bathroom is beautifully renovated and every amenity is thoughtfully considered.
Stepping up to the oversized ambient bedroom, we loved the music touch on arrival. The bed is super luxurious with more puffy cushions to devour in your sleep.
Our host, Jackie, is incredibly inviting and helpful but unobtrusive, with ideas for restaurants and adventures in Castlemaine. We took the slow pace as it was hot and walked into the Botanical Gardens. We dined at Wild and shopped at an amazing IGA for lunch produce to add to our fresh bread. Sitting on the front deck at dusk was a highlight for us, drinking in the peaceful beauty and native surrounds. There are also private outdoor/shaded pockets to sit but we relished the sun splashed deck.
We enjoyed The Mill, walking around the closed old Castlemaine Gaol (still lots of statues to see for free) and the lovely history of the buildings. So much to see!
We strongly recommend this to others. You can even park close to your cottage.

The property itself is lovely stone cottage (does what it says on the box). Gardens are lovely. Generous provisions for tea coffee breakfast appreciated. Lovely setting close to bush very quiet. And a massive open fire suitable for whiskey, port or just gazing wistfully. A credit to the builders/owners care and attention to detail

Thank you Jacki & David for sharing such a delightful place to stay…..great location, it was comfortable, warm & a surprise to find all the edible treats! We wanted for nothing!

Wow wow wow is all I can say. The cottage is in a peaceful setting on the outskirts of Castlemaine, close enough but quiet enough. It is cosy, perfect for two and exquisitely furnished with Chinese/Mongolian antique pieces. Every need is contemplated for by the hostess Jacki. Her communication is amazing and very prompt. Directions are clear so it was easy to find her property on a dark, rainy evening. The bed is extremely comfy and made with beautiful linens. The cottage was spotlessly clean and well provisioned. A sumptuous breakfast with home grown tomatoes with many extra snacks was provided. We had a wonderful restful weekend and will love to visit again.

A patch of paradise in Castlemaine!
Jackie and David have created two stunning getaways that are well worth a visit. Quiet surroundings, beautiful gardens, and a space to stay equipped with everything you need. Jackie and David also went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We can't wait to come back for another visit!

Great for couples
Loved the stone cottage particularly lighting a real fire at night. A short cycle down the road through the Botanical Gardens takes you to markets, coffee and brew house. You'll come across kangaroos along the way.

Delightful Stone Cottage
We stayed a wonderful week and thoroughly enjoyed Castlemaine and the cottage, in all weather conditions. Our Stone cottage was the smaller of the two however it was full of personality. The open fire in the bedroom was very cosy. Jackie and David were the perfect hosts. We were greeted with an unexpected, generous supply of food in our fridge and pantry. They welcomed us to enjoy their gorgeous gardens that surround their home. Excellent suggestions for activities and places to eat were made. We will return.
FYI: The cottage only has a shower, no bath. Further out of town than expected however bikes are supplied.

A very peaceful & enjoyable experience
The stone cottage is delightful, in a quiet, rural setting just outside of Castlemaine with our neighbors being mainly kangaroos & rabbits. The provisions of fresh fruits, bread, breakfast, cheese & bikkies, yoghurt, chocolates were exceptional and hopefully we'll be back soon......

The Stone Edge South Cottage is Fabulous
We loved staying at the South cottage. It is beautifully and tastefully decorated. The bedroom is large and has a lovely feel. We loved the large sunken rainshower. The little porch was lovely to sit on in the evening. There was a great selection for breakfast and other treats. The location was great, just a short walk to the Botanic garden. David and Jackie were great hosts. We would definitely recommend.

Beautiful stone cottage
There is nothing to fault with the cottages or decor or hospitality of the hosts Jackie and Dave. This is an absolutely beautiful location. Peacefully located a five minute drive from the town centre or a 30 minutes walk through the Botanic gardens and the graceful old houses of Castlemaine. I don't think you can talk this place up too much. We will certainly be back

South Cottage
