About this property

Goldfields Cottage- in historic town

Rustic rural escape. Private, fully self contained, 15 min walk to shops and cafes. Once a traditional miners' cottage, now a cozy and comfortable getaway. This cute cottage has been restored to provide modern comfort and style whilst retaining the essence of the traditional miner's cottage.
Inside, the house is light filled and sunny. A comfortable lounge-dining area is decorated with a mix of vintage, modern and antique items. Interesting art works and artifacts add to the individual and eclectic atmosphere. A country style kitchen equipped with gas stove, microwave, dishwasher, coffee machine and a range of cook books caters for your culinary interests. A charming reading/writing room has attractive sunny outlook.
Outside, the cottage sits in a pretty, semi rural setting, with views, lawn, a cottage garden with herbs and vegetables, fruit trees and our own honey bees. It is just a short stroll to the historic town classified by the National Trust. Cafes, pubs, antique and collectible shops, home-wares and craft shops beckon.

Loved the historic town and surrounds. The cottage is what it says an historic cottage. Gayle was great and helpful and generous. All was great apart from the dust etc but it’s an old old cottage.

Pleasant stay in the Goldfields.
This is a nice, old miners cottage in the Goldfields town of Maldon. It is an easy drive to both Castlemaine and Bendigo. The cottage is perfect for 2 or 3 people wanting to explore the area.

Maldon Cottage
Had a very cosy stay at this classic goldfields cottage. The cottage was beautifully decorated and felt so homely and exactly what I wanted out of my stay. Loved having the fire but also having the reverse cycle heater - was kept very warm!! Beautiful wildlife everywhere and very peaceful.

Maldon Relax
We really enjoyed 3 nights at the cottage, although the power was off one day it was not a problem as all needs were available on gas. The cottage is beautifully presented with a great array of cooking & interesting books & magazines. Beds are comfortable & everything is very tidy & clean. Gayle was a great host & overall the peacefulness of the location & wildlife at your doorstep it is certainly a place to revisit. Robert & Loretta.

Cottage in Maldon
Great property offering all the accommodations of home. Very quiet and plenty to do. Plus amazing wildlife literally at your door. So much to do and see at Maldon whether it's a visit at a local cafe and or you are interested in history. Very enjoyable property and area well worth a visit for short and or longer stays. We enjoyed our visit very much and plan to return in the not too distant future.

Quirky lovely cottage
A minors cottage is what exactly what we expected, quirks and all, and it didn’t disappoint. The kitchen and bathroom was very clean and the various art and furniture was interesting to look at. It can be cold as it’s winter, the hosts stocked us up with firewood each day which kept us warm. Hosts were very obliging.
