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.

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.

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.

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......
