About the host

Hosted by Richard Lloyd

Host profile image
Melissa and Richard re-located to Castlemaine in 2021, when we purchased HeartStone Hill. We have renovated the buildings and built a pool and entertainment area for family, friends and guests to enjoy. This is a LGBTQ+ friendly property.

Why they chose this property

We were attracted by the magnificent surroundings, the stone buildings and retaining walls, all handmade by a local talented and dedicated stonemason. This tranquil meditative setting, in a rural environment, amongst the gumtrees and wildlife is relaxing yet energising.

What makes this property unique

Stone buildings, elevated views of mountains and colourful landscaped gardens. Set on 2.5 acres but only 5 mins out of Castlemaine township. Short walk to the Royal Botanical Gardens and The Mill - Castlemaine Vintage Bazaar.
