Have you fantasied living in a small country town. We did! Newstead and its community captured our hearts.
The region has cute historical gold rush towns to explore. Popular annual festivals such as the Newstead Short Story Tattoo (a literary celebration), Newstead Live (rooted in folk & close to the Maldon Folk festival.
Think great coffee, gourmet pizzas, art & wildlife.
Weâre interested in the world around us & weâre welcoming & unpretentious.
During your stay at the Terrace, you can have a peaceful break, cosy and quiet in our 124 year old renovated and tastefully furnished cottage, the door firmly shuts on the world. If thatâs your preference, we have a fully equipped kitchen for self-catering and within a walk into the town of Newstead, hotels, cafe and an IGA grocery store.
Although we live next door, weâll respect your wish for privacy. Youâll find the Terrace has books, NBN Internet, Netflix, free to air television and the ability to stream music to keep you entertained.
Over the Loddon River bridge is the Crown Hotel, IGA and Dig cafĂ©, where you can pause for a delicious meal or a Devonshire tea and Digâs own blend of chai.
For a taste of culture, stroll around Roger McKindleyâs Antares Iron Art Garden, on the banks of the Loddon River. Prepare to be amazed at his quirky and extraordinary iron art and sculptures, fashioned from found objects.
