Maldon is well known for its very well preserved main street. So if you want to visit a place where the high street isn't full of generic, multinational businesses, this is the town for you. The town is small and is easy to walk and/or drive around. It's also a short drive to a few other notable towns in the region such as Castlemaine, making it a good base for a regional tour. I had coffee & cake at the Gold Exchange Café, (yum), dinner at the Kangaroo Hotel (nice steak), and brekkie at the Maldon Cafe. While having brekkie at one of the outdoor tables, the passing locals nodded with a greeting smile, which I happily returned.

Nice old country township with well preserved historic buildings. Good stop-over point when travelling between Melbourne and Northern Victoria or on into NSW. The town has a couple of nice old pubs with good food and drink choices plus a few small cafes, specialty shops and a local IGA with the essentials. We also found the locals to be very friendly and welcoming.

Maldon is a gold rush town that has retained its historical buildings, attractions, etc. There is heaps to see and visit around the town and the surrounding area whether you walk, cycle or drive. Castlemaine is nearby, but there is no need to leave the town, it has a supermarket, newsagent, cafes, take away, gift shops, and to add to the charm, the attendant puts the petrol into your car for you.. Prices are reasonable in relation to food, gifts, and for those who sew, the patchwork shop is also a must visit. The Information Centre is recommended prior to commencing your visit for all information required, leaflets, booklets, etc from an informative and friendly staff member.

Maldon a lovely authentic Victorian town in interesting countryside. Not far from Bendigo, Castlemaine and Ballarat - and an easy drive from Melbourne. Loved the Cafe / Restaurant - La Sel iin the Maldon main street.

Lovely old world charm. Full of interesting history and is lovely in every season. Great base for the area as roads are excellent and lots to discover. Guaranteed to spot kangaroos at dusk. Lovely old train station and trains. There is still plenty of gold in those hills waiting to be discovered.

I loved the history of the town and its interesting range of architectural styles and it was a good location for visiting other places such as Castlemaine, Bendigo and Ballarat. The pace of life was relaxed and peaceful and it was lovely to simply wander around the area on foot and listen to the sound of birds and the whistle of the old steam train on the days it operated. A particularly ideal place for lovers of history.
