Goldfield Retreat was extremely comfotable, spacious and well appointed. Just a stones throw from the centre of town it was very convenient, no car required to shops or amenities.
The beautiful garden made the house feel even more homely.
Castlemaine is a really pretty town, we loved our time there.

A spacious, comfortable house surrounded by a lovely garden, in the heart of Castlemaine. Walking distance to parks, cafes and pubs and central for adventures in nature further afield. Great list of suggested places to explore. Thank you to our wonderful host, Jesse.

This is a charming property close to the centre of Castlemaine, which makes it very handy to shops and cafes. We found it to be clean with a well-appointed, modern kitchen and large, comfortable and family-friendly open dining / living area. We especially liked the fireplace which added warmth and atmosphere in the chilly winter evenings. We'd definitely stay here again.
