Great Space for 1-2 Near Town Centre

We enjoyed our 2 nights, bed very comfy, extra homely touches like variety of tea leaves, home-ground coffee, fresh fruit, raisin bread etc. Very quiet area, a few train noises, but pretty birdsongs too!

It was close to town but still felt really private. Loved the whole vibe of the place with the overgown cottage garden and beautiful brick arch as you enter. Everything inside was clean and well presented.

Nice place to stay in lovely Castlemaine

Nice quaint little bungalow in a quiet street. Had everything we needed for a 1 night stay and was close to the town centre. Lack of television didn't bother us in the slightest! - It was nice to have some quiet after a long day. We didnt meet the owners, but the little dog was super cute. Would stay again.
