We had a beautiful stay in Blackhouse Castlemaine. Very well positioned, close to The Mill and Botanical gardens. 15 min leisurely walk to town. House is nicely done and it has everything you need for getaway. Clean and modern, the host thought of everything. Be aware, close to train tracks, but occasional train did not bother us at all.

Kangaroo Creek Cottage

LinaRating, 5 stars1 day ago

Words truly aren’t enough to express how happy and welcomed we felt at your beautiful cottage. We had the most amazing time there, and Marina and Malcolm have honestly been the best hosts we’ve ever had through Airbnb. They were incredibly kind, thoughtful, and helpful from start to finish. The cottage was absolutely immaculate—spotless, cozy, and perfectly prepared for our stay. The location is stunning, surrounded by peaceful nature, with breathtaking views, birds, and even kangaroos! We especially loved spending time by the fire pit and relaxing with our dogs in such a serene and magical environment. To top it all off, Marina and Malcolm went above and beyond by baking us fresh bread and leaving us a variety of delicious treats to enjoy. It was such a warm and generous gesture that made us feel truly special. If we could rate this stay 100 stars, we absolutely would. Thank you again for an unforgettable weekend—we can’t wait to come back!

Jacqueline's place was very comfortable with all the amenities we needed. As we were working for the week, having access to washing facilities was great. There was a separate dining area and cosy lounge to relax and watch TV of an evening. Also plenty of great restaurants and cafe's very close by if you don't feel like cooking. We would happily stay again.
