Wonderful, spacious and central place to stay. Really enjoyed our Castlemaine getaway. Great facilities, well maintained and no shortage of power outlets! No wifi, but no problem, great mobile reception anyway. Or do a digital detox if you want!

Great little home to retreat to after a big day exploring. The kids bunkbed was a challenge to sleep on for me, but everyone else enjoyed their queen beds. Well maintained, easy to stroll into town.

Beware!Access - very steep unsafe driveway and dangerous stairs. Owner locks rooms and charges 25 per night to unlock rooms. Advertises fireplace but there is only a fake electric heater that doesn't work. The electricity was out the 2nd day of our stay owner knew this weeks before and did not advise us. Bath has very high dangerous step into shower. Kitchen. We stayed for a week and only had two towels. The kitchen had bare minimum equipment and lots of locked cupboards. Reviews are fake. Worst stay ever had will not be using Stayz again
