About this apartment rental
HeartStone Hill Studio – A Boutique Bush Retreat in Castlemaine
Welcome to HeartStone Hill, a boutique stone retreat where handcrafted craftsmanship, luxury and nature come together to create an unforgettable escape.
Just minutes from the heart of Castlemaine, our beautifully restored stone Studio sits on 2.5 acres of peaceful bushland, surrounded by mature gardens, towering gum trees and abundant native wildlife. Unlike many local accommodation providers, we welcome one-night stays, including weekends, perfect for spontaneous escapes, special celebrations or overnight visits. We are a dog friendly site. (one small/medium size dog - extra $30 per stay)
HeartStone Hill was lovingly built by a local stonemason who began the project in 1999. His extraordinary workmanship can be seen throughout the property, from the beautifully crafted Studio itself to the extensive sandstone retaining walls that wind along the driveway, gardens and surrounding landscape. Every stone reflects years of dedication and creates a property unlike any other in the region.
Wake to birdsong, watch kangaroos quietly grazing nearby, spot an echidna wandering through the gardens, or simply relax beside our heated swimming pool beneath the gum trees while taking in the sweeping eastern views. After a day exploring Castlemaine's renowned cafés, galleries, markets and wineries, return to HeartStone Hill to unwind in the infrared sauna or simply enjoy the peace and privacy that make this property so special.
Whether you're planning a romantic getaway, celebrating a special occasion, visiting family and friends or exploring Central Victoria, HeartStone Hill offers a welcoming retreat where luxury, comfort and nature exist in perfect harmony.
We look forward to welcoming you and sharing this very special place with you.

8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2025
Very picturesque. The room was large with a comfortable bed and two comfortable armchairs. The bathroom was adequate but the mirror placement is a bit awkward for ladies though there is a larger mirror within the closet door. Quite clean with coffee and tea available and a generous fruit bowl. The split system was great and it is very quiet spot. The owner was very warm and welcoming as well as helpful with directions.

My two nights here were just what I needed. So quiet with great hosts where nothing was too much trouble. The surroundings here make it easy to unwind and a dip in the pool is well worth it. Not too far from town that you can walk but far enough from the busy roads so you can relax. So glad I found this place. Will absolutely return again one day.

We had an amazing stay at Hearthstone Hill in Castlemaine! The property is exactly as described on Stayz – and even better. The peaceful surroundings made it a perfect place to wind down and relax away from the hustle and bustle.The pool was absolutely wonderful, providing a refreshing way to unwind. The king-size bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a great night’s sleep. Richard and Melissa were fantastic hosts—so knowledgeable about the best local spots for breakfast and dinner, and their warm hospitality made us feel right at home.One of the highlights of our stay was being able to bring our dog along. It’s not always easy to find such a welcoming place for pets, and we were thrilled that she could join us on this trip.Overall, Hearthstone Hill is a fantastic re
