About this property

Castlemaine Boutique Accommodation presentsThe Dairy.


Be transported back to a bygone era in this stunning and unique property. The Dairy House is one of our most popular properties, and for good reason. Nestled amongst a beautiful garden, this cozy home is truly an oasis unlike any other.
Restored and designed with an eye to character and ultimate comfort, the Dairy is overflowing with character and warmth.
Complete with bespoke furniture and artwork that has been carefully selected to enhance the brimming history and charm of this truly unique home, you won’t find any other properties like this.
The home has a beautifully appointed bedroom (complete with a king size bed that can be converted into twin beds on request) and a beautiful bathroom that boasts a luxurious clawfoot bath, allowing you to soak away whilst gazing at the stars through the endearing and restored cottage window.
Fairy tale gardens, original wood fireplace, gorgeous artwork, exposed brick walls and enough character and luxury to knock you off your feet, the Dairy House offers a wonderfully unique experience.
Enjoy the ambiance and be transported back in time, all while being a convenient few blocks from the excitement of Castlemaine’s main street.

King size bed can be split into singles. Please advise at least two weeks before your stay of preferred bedding configuration.

High Chair Available Upon Request.
Extra bed available upon request (additional charges apply).
Please note Hector the cockatoo lives nearby and likes to squawk around nightfall. He has been in the family for over 40 years and does like to havea chat. Feel free to say hello to Hector.

Comfortable Clean Cottage

We had such a lovely time at the dairy. We loved the rustic style and the history of the place. It was clean and comfy, the location was great and the deep claw foot bath so relaxing. Highly recommended.

Cosy and romantic

Lovely little cottage. Very cosy with wood heater (already started by friendly by respectful host prior to arrival), fun cow theme (used to be a dairy) and walking distance to cafes and restaurants in town

Really relaxing stay

I initially booked in to the Dairy and was really pleased with the accommodation. The first night was lovely and the bed was very comfortable. There was a small problem with noise from builders working in the garden but Castlemaine Boutique Accommodation came and met with me and Donna organised for me to transfer to another house which was even lovelier and much more peaceful. I had a really great stay. Thanks
