Well appointed accommodation and very tidy. Comfy bed. TV reception lousy and only a few stations worked. Dish sponge in kitchen could not be found. Well worth the cost.

We loved this little cottage, very cozy and accommodating to our needs.
I was a little wary of the step from the lounge into the kitchen as well as getting in out of the shower.
Definitely not the place for someone with mobility issues.
Enjoyed our stay

We had a very enjoyable stay at this quaint, gorgeous little cottage. Clean, comfortable and cosy. The weather was horrendous when we arrived but the cottage warmed up easily.
The attention to detail was great, we had everything we could have wanted, a credit to our hosts.
Close to town, but in a quiet area. Great dog friendly accommodation, our 2 Australian Koolies were very settled and had a great time too. We would highly recommend a stay at Ambrose Cottage.

Ambrose Cottage has everything you need and was lovely and cosy and close to everything. There is a step down to the kitchen and bathroom that older people might find difficult (also the shower over the bath) There is a lovely sunny spot to sit and enjoy a coffee out the back and a little BBQ . We were disappointed that we has to cut our stay short due to illness but enjoyed the short time we had at Ambrose Cottage

This cottage was all we needed for an "escape" from communal living!! (Retirement villages are wonderful, but every so often.....) We were very grateful our pet was welcomed. The internal cottage was absolutely spotless, a big tick from fussy old me. Ideally situated, close to Buda, the Wooden Mill, fabulous botanical gardens and great visiting bird life from the kitchen window.

The cottage was cute and cosy and well-supplied. Easy 10 minute walk to town and also handy for the botanic gardens and mill market. We really enjoyed our stay and the hosts were extra helpful and posted my phone charger to me when I realised I had left it behind

Thank you for a delightful stay. The property was tidy and thoughtfully arranged with everything that might be required, from a dog leash to coffee pods and an electric blanket. I really appreciate that pets were allowed and the property is so suitable with space in the enclosed yard to bring a pet without worrying about them. I would certainly recommend this property for anyone who likes creature comforts and bringing their own creatures! Completely practical and perfect! Thanks again very much.

We enjoyed our 2 night stay in the cottage. It is set up well, with everything that you would need.
It was only a short walk into town or to the Mill, so a great location for us.

Third annual stay at Ambrose Cottage. A quaint miner's house with everything you could want, including provision for a pet. Good walks nearby and a short drive to all of Castlemaine's attractions.

There were a few minor repairs that needed doing,ie doors jamming,missing screws, squeaking bed, shower taps tightened,which my partner was happy to fix for you, as he had some tools in the car and was happy to help. Hope you didn't mind. The kitchen step height is a safety issue and would be outside the current guidelines, it wouldn't be that hard to add an additional step. If someone broke a hip, you may be opened to being liable for the dangerous height. We enjoyed our stay. The house was nice and cool on the hot day.

A cute little miners cottage in a very convenient area close to the centre and very quiet. Everything was provided for us to use and the whole house exceptionally clean. A nice large back yard for our dog to investigate. Very enjoyable
