Special Instructions

Address:19 Butterworth Street Castlemaine

Butterworth is situated high on a hill. To access the cottage you need to approach us from the Ray Street end of Butterworth Street.

Please drive up our driveway and park undercover in the signed "Cottage" carport at the top. Then you have a short walk back DOWN the driveway past the large water tank and along a gravel path to reach the cottage. Please do not go up the brick steps - they go to the house where there are dogs!

Nice little get-away
The cottage was comfortable and well-heated. (We stayed in the middle of July.) Bedding was warm. Appliances provided all worked. Unfortunately, the place was not as clean as we would have liked and the flies kept coming into the cottage from somewhere, even though we were careful to keep all windows and doors closed. Overall, it was a nice stay.

Cosy winter holiday
Overall a very nice stay in a cosy house. We enjoyed watching the chickens from the kitchen window and getting warm from the woodburner. It was only a short 3 min drive to every location we visited in Castlemaine.
Stayed 3 nights in May 2023
