“Unique, beautiful & great host”

Stylish, comfortable, convenient & delish simple breakfast provisions.

“Amazing Castlemaine Gem!”

Amazing property with very good communication by owner. Wonderfully cosy even in the Melbourne winter. A shower to die for (didn't want to get out!). Delicious continental breakfast (enough for the first morning, and enough milk for our two nights). Beautiful luscious white linens & inspiring furnishings. Absolutely loved our stay and have recommended to family & friends already! Easy parking and very thoughtful touches all round made for a comfortable stay which felt very private.

“We'll definitely be back!”

It was such an inspiring space to stay - private & quiet. Nicola is wonderful host.

“A beautiful retreat”

The property was beautiful, and studio two was tucked away at the back and felt like it's own little bush retreat. The studio was gorgeous - beaufitully designed and thoughtful architecture and styling.

“Everything we wanted or needed was totally catered for and would recommend and stay again”

Ample supplies for breakfast, with coffee pods, various teas, fruit, fresh bread etc Location was perfect able to walk everywhere Funky studio 1 exceeded our expectations and the shower was amazing

Beautiful accommodation in the perfect setting. Generous breakfast supplies. We'll definitely be back.

Very special home with a clever layout that felt very spacious. The welcome pack was thoughtful and appropriate.

“From the initial sms from Nicola to provide detailed directions to us saying goodbye, it was an amazing stay that we are”

Beautiful location and private. Could not have been happier with the place.

It immediately blew us away as soon as we walked in the door. The place is gorgeous, so cosy and comfortable. Nicola the host was absolutely lovely and made sure to check in prior to our stay to see if we needed anything and to provide instructions on how to access the property. There was also a delicious loaf of sourdough, yogurt, granola and spreads, which was the perfect amount for breakfast for a 2 night stay. I would love to stay again!

“Impeccable”

Beautiful venue, the service was impeccable and the location was close enough to walk where ever we wanted to go. Both properties were beautifully styled and felt luxurious. The little extra touches that Nicola included were so thoughtful, from the food to the tips for the property to bringing over extra serving ware. Our youngest especially loved exploring the property, jumping on the trampoline and making friends with the chickens! Overall, a wonderful stay.

“Beautifully designed restful abode”

It’s a beautifully designed place and perfect for unwinding. Very quiet, very easy to relax. The kitchen has everything you need, and Nicola was quick to respond to any questions. We had a great stay.

“Highly recommend be&be for a special occasion or well earned break.”

Stunning location with magnificent hill top views. Close to town and easy walking distance to all of Castlemaine’s attractions and amenities. Studio Two and the landscaping around it were clearly undertaken with great passion and skill; bespoke timber and metalwork inside and out, with lots of big windows taking advantage of natural light and views make the place delightful.

The location, design and furnishings were all fabulous! Studio one was a pleasure to relax in and beautifully and tastefully set up and well equipped. We loved the succulent garden and had to resist taking cuttings!

“Lovely stay, a great last few days of our holiday. The host was available and helpful when needed.”

Secluded and very relaxing accommodation and garden surrounds, yet close to town and facilities. Well equipped, made for a very comfortable stay.

“Relaxing in a very stylish and chic setting, with beautiful gardens and nature.”

The gorgeous styling and overall charm. My young daughter absolutely loved the trampoline!

“Calm and Detached”

Location Lovely setting, calm and peaceful

Beautiful surrounds, lovely linen and towels, breakfast was good

“Rustic & comfortable.”

A apartment with loads of rustic charm & very comfortable.

“Beautiful place, just a few tweaks would be 10/10.”

Style, location, owner, decor

“Beautiful property, wonderful location.”

Beautiful property, loved the ‘little touches’ like the robes & the breakfast provisions. My partner worked from the studio during the day - such a lovely location to spend a day in front of a laptop. Easily walkable into town.
