Outstanding cottage stay

Stone Edge South cottage Castlemaine was absolutely fabulous!! A credit to Jackie & David who have presented a beautiful cottage setting. The open fire place in the cottage bedroom on a rainy evening capped off a relaxing wonderful stay. We will definitely be returning in the future.

Weekend Getaway

We absolutely loved staying at Stone Edge Cottage. The cottage was stunning and very comfortable. Everything we needed was provided including yummy bread, cheese, fruit, coffee and breakfast goodies. Castlemaine and Bendigo are great towns with lots to see and enjoy. Thankyou Jackie for you care in renovating the cottage and making it available.

We went away for 2 nights and decided to stay another! It was so relaxing - we had everything we needed at our fingertips including delicious breakfasts - and the ambiance was a wonderful to unwind to. We would highly recommend Stone Edge and will be back next time we are in town. Loved it!!

Absolute Bliss

This cottage was absolutely wonderful. Warm, cosy, comfortable and homely. Beautifully fitted out and decorated with very tasteful high end fittings/ furnishings. Provisioned with array of lovely eats - all in a beautifully restored genuinely historic stone cottage. Lovely helpful hosts and beautifully peaceful location. Absolutely perfect.

Beautiful building and interior

The property itself is lovely stone cottage (does what it says on the box). Gardens are lovely. Generous provisions for tea coffee breakfast appreciated. Lovely setting close to bush very quiet. And a massive open fire suitable for whiskey, port or just gazing wistfully. A credit to the builders/owners care and attention to detail

Gorgeous

Stone Edge South Cottage was the perfect place for me to spend a few days away to celebrate my birthday. Jackie and David made me feel so welcome and comfortable with nothing more I could have asked for. Food provisions were generous, the cottage lovingly renovated and styled and the comfy bed, play list and open fire were just perfect! Embraced in a beautiful bush setting close to town, Stone Edge has both convenience and relaxing solitude. Thank you Jackie and David for making my stay so memorable and special. I do hope to see you both again. I highly recommend Stone Edge for accommodation consideration when travelling to Castlemaine or nearby.

Fabulous cottage in a gorgeous peaceful setting

Wow wow wow is all I can say. The cottage is in a peaceful setting on the outskirts of Castlemaine, close enough but quiet enough. It is cosy, perfect for two and exquisitely furnished with Chinese/Mongolian antique pieces. Every need is contemplated for by the hostess Jacki. Her communication is amazing and very prompt. Directions are clear so it was easy to find her property on a dark, rainy evening. The bed is extremely comfy and made with beautiful linens. The cottage was spotlessly clean and well provisioned. A sumptuous breakfast with home grown tomatoes with many extra snacks was provided. We had a wonderful restful weekend and will love to visit again.

Stone Edge Style, Abundant Ambience

We had such a wonderful anniversary in the South Cottage. Every detail was delightful and the impeccable but cheerful lodgings are exceedingly comfortable. We won't spoil the treats from the hosts, but evidently all seasons and tastes are well catered for. The stylish living area/couch is comfortably stacked with cosy cushions to relax, and the adjoining kitchen/meals is well equipped with all the utensils and condiments you need, plus some wonderful fresh produce surprises to make your breakfast sing. The bathroom is beautifully renovated and every amenity is thoughtfully considered. Stepping up to the oversized ambient bedroom, we loved the music touch on arrival. The bed is super luxurious with more puffy cushions to devour in your sleep. Our host, Jackie, is incredibly inviting and helpful but unobtrusive, with ideas for restaurants and adventures in Castlemaine. We took the slow pace as it was hot and walked into the Botanical Gardens. We dined at Wild and shopped at an amazing IGA for lunch produce to add to our fresh bread. Sitting on the front deck at dusk was a highlight for us, drinking in the peaceful beauty and native surrounds. There are also private outdoor/shaded pockets to sit but we relished the sun splashed deck. We enjoyed The Mill, walking around the closed old Castlemaine Gaol (still lots of statues to see for free) and the lovely history of the buildings. So much to see! We strongly recommend this to others. You can even park close to your cottage.
