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

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.

Loved the stone cottage particularly lighting a real fire at night. A short cycle down the road through the Botanical Gardens takes you to markets, coffee and brew house. You'll come across kangaroos along the way.

Delightful Stone Cottage
We stayed a wonderful week and thoroughly enjoyed Castlemaine and the cottage, in all weather conditions. Our Stone cottage was the smaller of the two however it was full of personality. The open fire in the bedroom was very cosy. Jackie and David were the perfect hosts. We were greeted with an unexpected, generous supply of food in our fridge and pantry. They welcomed us to enjoy their gorgeous gardens that surround their home. Excellent suggestions for activities and places to eat were made. We will return.
FYI: The cottage only has a shower, no bath. Further out of town than expected however bikes are supplied.

The stone cottage is delightful, in a quiet, rural setting just outside of Castlemaine with our neighbors being mainly kangaroos & rabbits. The provisions of fresh fruits, bread, breakfast, cheese & bikkies, yoghurt, chocolates were exceptional and hopefully we'll be back soon......

The Stone Edge South Cottage is Fabulous
We loved staying at the South cottage. It is beautifully and tastefully decorated. The bedroom is large and has a lovely feel. We loved the large sunken rainshower. The little porch was lovely to sit on in the evening. There was a great selection for breakfast and other treats. The location was great, just a short walk to the Botanic garden. David and Jackie were great hosts. We would definitely recommend.
