Cosy winter retreat

Check-in went smoothly, communication excellent. Walking into a warm space on a chilly day was much appreciated! Kitchen is small but served our family group of 7. Would love to come back again soon!

Family trip

We stayed in Castlemaine and travelled to Chewton to visit the house my ancestors built in 1860. We had a great weekend and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Station Master’s House which was very conveniently located and spotlessly clean - and also had children’s books, a high chair and cot for our little granddaughter. We went to the Railway Hotel for dinner on Friday night which was so much fun and the Castlemaine market on Sunday - can’t walk t to do it all again one day soon.

A wonderful residence

The Station Master's House was perfect for us. We travelled to Castlemaine for the weekend with 8 adults and a newborn, and the accommodation and location was simply outstanding. A beautiful charming residence that suits the character of Castlemaine, that is convenient to walk to the Mill and the town. Fantastic hosts and communication.

Castlemaine hideaway

On the main highway and so close to the town centre. We walked to wherever we needed to go. Even though on a main road traffic noise was unnoticeable. Heard the trains but they just added to the atmosphere of the Station Masters House especially the tourist steam train. House well presented with everything we needed. Will book again

Old world charm, spacious welcoming property.

We enjoyed our stay immensely. Spacious and comfortable in the country setting of Castlemaine. Close proximity to all that the area has to offer. Suited our needs for space, convenience and comfort very well. Thank you for making our arrangements and stay such a pleasure. The steam train was an added bonus.
