Beautifully tucked away, didn’t get the opportunity out to use the pool but it looked very inviting. Gorgeous bathroom, perfect for a family. Owners very thoughtfully put up a Christmas tree for the holidays.

The Cottage was tucked away behind the main house and we were greeted by a family of carolling magpies and the clucking of a couple of hens in nearby the chook pen. The Cottage was screened by native bushland which could be viewed from every window. The place was nicely appointed and had everything we required (no dishwasher, but we didn't need that). We did not get to meet our host, Shirley, but we were able to communicate by SMS, if required. Information on the local eateries was listed on an Excel spreadsheet - very handy!

Eggs were provided by the friendly chickens (which you can see from the kitchen window) and there was milk in the fridge on arrival. Bathroom was huge with a bath tub and walk-in shower. Good quality toiletries provided. Plenty of hot water and good water pressure in the shower. Kitchen was well-stocked with everything I needed. Comfortable bed and a ceiling fan in the bedroom which was essential over a few hot nights. Air conditioning was also very efficient in the kitchen/living room. Well-lit access path was helpful when coming back late in the evening. You really feel like you're surrounded by nature with the sounds of crickets, frogs and birds. Windows are all screened, so you can open them up and let the air flow when cool enough.

Location was perfect, easy to find, bed was extremely comfortable and the wood fire made the cottage very warm. The view out of the kitchen window over the hen house kept us entertained

Greg Australia

Very easy to find. Really appreciated the sensor and colourful lights! Really comfortable bed and the ceiling fan plus the air-conditioning was a bonus. Selection of DVDS were great and kitchen facilities exceptional. Really loved the fresh eggs! Bonus was the view which looked out to the chooks! I also really loved the balcony and accompanying mountain view. The wildlife was amazing there, even got visited regularly by a family of inquisitive and cheeky magpies Undercover parking was really appreciated too. Loved this place and would definitely return

The bush setting with the lap pool was just lovely.Still close to town with all things Castlemaine has to offer.

Beautiful setting, feels like you are off the grid but situated close to town

Amelia Australia

Well appointed private cottage. Chickens and fresh eggs a big highlight for our pre schooler. Bed was very comfortable but a little small for us both. Great to have a splash in the pool to cool down.
