Beautiful Miners Cottage

Goldfields cottage was our accomodation while visiting Maldon for a friend's 50th Birthday celebration in the middle of winter. The cottage was warm and cosy with attention to lots of the small details that made our stay wonderful. Communication with the owner was excellent and we couldn't have asked for better. Highly recommended!

Quirky lovely cottage

A minors cottage is what exactly what we expected, quirks and all, and it didn’t disappoint. The kitchen and bathroom was very clean and the various art and furniture was interesting to look at. It can be cold as it’s winter, the hosts stocked us up with firewood each day which kept us warm. Hosts were very obliging.

What a lovely place to spend a winter weekend. There is a wood burner and the loungeroom was cozy in the evenings as a result.The kitchen is equipped with all you couuld possibly need for a comfortable stay. The kitchen windows afforded us a lovely view0 of the local kangaroos and bird life, D 34000both in the morning and at dusk.The cottage was in a lovely location, qlking distance to town but just far enough away to be peaceful.The beds were very comfortable and had electric blankets, and the shower was hot and had good pressure.Our hosts were very kind and responsive and even provided us with a complementary bottle of red wine. We would definitely suggest that you book some time there, soon!

Loved the historic town and surrounds. The cottage is what it says an historic cottage. Gayle was great and helpful and generous. All was great apart from the dust etc but it’s an old old cottage.

Maldon Relax

We really enjoyed 3 nights at the cottage, although the power was off one day it was not a problem as all needs were available on gas. The cottage is beautifully presented with a great array of cooking & interesting books & magazines. Beds are comfortable & everything is very tidy & clean. Gayle was a great host & overall the peacefulness of the location & wildlife at your doorstep it is certainly a place to revisit. Robert & Loretta.

Had a very cosy stay at this classic goldfields cottage. The cottage was beautifully decorated and felt so homely and exactly what I wanted out of my stay. Loved having the fire but also having the reverse cycle heater - was kept very warm!! Beautiful wildlife everywhere and very peaceful.

Pleasant stay in the Goldfields.

This is a nice, old miners cottage in the Goldfields town of Maldon. It is an easy drive to both Castlemaine and Bendigo. The cottage is perfect for 2 or 3 people wanting to explore the area.
