This is an excellent property. The gas heating was on when we arrived on an unusually cold November day, the beds were comfortable with beautiful linen, the kitchen was superbly equipped, every convenience was thought of, the area was quiet, with lovely distant views from the lounge room, kangaroos grazing in the garden, a bush walk literally a few minutes away, and all only 4 minutes drive from the centre of Castlemaine. Outstanding. We will be back.

The property was lovely. Very clean, well equipped, board games, kangaroos at dusk, a fire pit, and sunset views. We really enjoyed our stay in Castlemaine.
