Family-friendly holiday rentals in Castlemaine

Loved my stay. Perfect for purpose little idyllic spot. I’m a fan of tiny homes and this is a very similar size accomodation. The bed was really comfy and the bedding was pristine. Kitchen is a little dated but completely functional and Jennine has thought of everything her guests may need. The bathroom is beautiful and modern with decent water pressure allowing for a nice shot shower. The bath and the garden were amazing. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to use the bath as I had a lot of work to do during my stay. I did feel a little vulnerable sleeping beneath that huge Manna Gum tree but I did know that was going to be the case prior to my booking. But I could never have predicted the spectacular storm and power cut and sleeping under that tree! I must admin to being a bit worried about it. Jennine was proactive, and she messaged me where to find emergency candles. Couldn’t have asked for a more accomodating owner. Very happy I chose this peaceful place. Thank you Jennine.

Absolutely loved Patrick’s place. Beautiful, peaceful property. We brought our dog and she loved it too. Highly recommend visiting, especially in Autumn!

Lady Marmalade has quickly become a favourite for our annual girls trip. It’s cozy, close to the shops and a beautiful house. We look forward to our visit every year. James is a great host and very friendly and responsive.

This is a beautiful house in the peaceful neighbourhood that has a close proximity to all you need in Daylesford e.g. supermarket and town area. We highly recommended! Andrew is also proactive and provided a clear instructions and communication for our stay.

We had a lovely stay. Check in was easy. It’s a cosy, clean and comfortable space. We loved all the wonderful art around the property. We also enjoyed the jacuzzi on the deck. It was a short walk into town and just around the corner from the Mill market. We could hear our neighbours easily but they weren’t there for the whole weekend.

Very nice little house. With all that we needed. Michelle is super kind and responsive.

Absolutely loved my time (4 nights) at Cardigan st. Comfy couches, glorious shower, wonderful location and everything you need. Really appreciated the flexibility Traci gave me around bed choice (based on my bad back.)

We booked this stunning Daylesford house for our best friend’s 40th — and WOW, what a weekend! The vibes were immaculate, the house was beyond gorgeous, and we spent three days laughing, grazing, and sipping Prosecco like queens. Perfect for a girls’ getaway and milestone celebration!

Great location, near shops and the house was so beautiful. Only issue we had was we found it difficult to get hot water despite following the instructions left. It also gets a bit hot in the rear rooms in summer but nothing a few open windows cant fix. Thanks for allowing us to have a wonderful weekend.

A fantastic house with an even better location, we loved staying here. It was very warm, comfortable and the hosts left a beautiful selection of breakfast foods for us. It wouldn't be the best if you had to work from there, as the wifi is very old school. The fact that it's pet friendly is absolutely amazing. Thank you for having us.

We had a great stay at Daylesford Country Retreats. The accommodation was just as described and as per the photos. The beautiful scenery around the property made our stay so peaceful. We will definitely be coming back again. Thank you for having us!

Great little cabin, short drive from townships of Hepburn and Dayelsford. Emma was excellent with communication.

What beautiful & unique accommodation! Loved our stay. With the fire going we were very warm & cosy. Listening to a broad range of records at night was a highlight. Would definitely recommend to others.

We stayed over the long weekend Hubby and I felt right at home it was warm and toasty on arrival. We loved the cottage as it was cute and charming surrounded by beautiful Australian flora and fauna. The lake was in walking distance and the Main Street was only a couple minutes drive. Karen was a wonderful host easy to reach and talk too we definitely would recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to come back again. Thank you Giselle and Shane

Ellen and Kevin’s place is really gorgeous and full of character. They go the extra mile to make you feel comfortable. The wood fire is so atmospheric and cosy. They natural surroundings are so relaxing. I highly recommend!

Lovely homestay with beautiful surroundings. Flexible & welcoming hosts. Thanks for the stay!

I loved Renee and Izy’s place. Perfect location (short walk onto the Main Street, and up to the Convent). The heating was great, the bed was comfy. Thanks so much.

The property was fantastic—exactly as described. The spacious grounds and beautiful rose garden were perfect for walks, and the vineyard made a stunning backdrop for sunrises. Kids loved the games room, the pool, and having Netflix and YouTube on the TV. The kitchen was spotless and well-stocked. We also enjoyed spotting lots of kangaroos. Overall, a very relaxing and enjoyable stay.

We had a fantastic stay at Corvah House in Castlemaine with our extended family, including young children. The house was beautiful, spacious, and well-equipped, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing weekend. The highlight was definitely the pool—an absolute lifesaver on a hot weekend! With ample grass area outside too, the the kids loved it which meant we could relax too. Donna was an excellent host—her communication was fantastic, making everything smooth and stress-free. We’d highly recommend Corvah House to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in Castlemaine.

The cottage is a great place for time away with friends. It's in a peaceful and scenic location but still close to several interesting locations to explore.

We returned for another gorgeous mini break and love this extraordinary house and rural outlook with dog friendly spaces. Short drive to great local cafe ☕️ and pub and a bit further for wineries walking trails and country gifts John is a wonderful host.

Jennifer and David’s house is a fabulous place to stay in Daylesford! The house itself is modern, clean, spacious, has excellent amenity, and special bonus features including pool, spa and sauna! Communication was easy, always prompt and informative. Will be back. Highly recommend!

Beautiful location and a charming cottage along with very helpful caretakers allowed for a fantastic stay. Our kids were never bored with so much for them to do on the property, from the games room to the grassy areas and even a river for some fishing, they were well entertained. Very tranquil setting, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommended the cottage to both couples and families.

Extremely comfortable apartment in a great location, just a short stroll to town and all the shops/pubs/cafes. We stayed during the Kings Birthday weekend which was cold and wet and absolutely loved the fire and how cosy it was! Would definitely recommend and will be back!
