The Mia Mia Newstead - Pet Friendly Country Retreat close to town

Comfortably sleeping four people, The Mia Mia has a separate kitchen area which has a fridge, kettle, chopping board, cups, plates, glasses, wine glasses, and utensils. We provide basic cooking ingredients including salt, pepper, oil and sauce, and complimentary coffee, tea, and long life milk.

COVID: we take the safety of our guests seriously and have introduced enhanced cleaning measures so you can feel assured during your stay.

The Mia Mia will sleep 4 people in two bedrooms comprised of:

1 x Queen Bed with dressing room and en suite
1 x Queen Bed with wardrobe

Both beds are dressed with high quality linen and doonas and have wall heaters and pedestal fans.

The lounge room has two comfortable couches, board games, Singstar Playstation and TV, Netflix and Foxtel. The split system and a wood fire is perfect for those crisp winter nights.

The en suite bathroom has a shower and toilet. The second bathroom has a shower over a bath and a separate toilet. We provide lovely soft high quality towels, and hand wash.

The Mia Mia provides free laundry facilities with fully equipped laundry.

Enjoy a glass of wine or beer in front of the fire, on the verandah or up the hill near the shepherds hut.

The cottage is only 2 minutes drive or 15 minute walk from the town centre. We welcome guests to leave seed out for the multitude of native birds.

The Mia Mia is the perfect place to recharge the batteries amongst the stunning rural farm views, the rustling sound of gum trees after a day of exploring the treasures of the area including Castlemaine, Maldon, Vaughan Springs, Maryborough and Daylesford.
