Indeed a cosy studio. We enjoyed the comfy bed and special tea selection in particular. We could walk to and from Bar Midland for our special dinner (highly recommended by the way) which was ideal.

The studio was very cosy and had a relaxing ambiance.The location was fairly close to the town centre by walking. All the facilities were very clean.Having home roasted cofee, selected leaf teas and muslei with fresh milk was a bonus.

The cottage was nicely fitted out, though rather minimal. Luxurious queen bed, but no couch or entertainment. I would have liked a hot plate and some outdoor seating. It was a little disconcerting not to meet or hear from the host, even though his dog was pattering around.

The property has character and covered all our essential needs. The bed was extremely comfortable and it was nice the assortment of teas and coffee available as well as muesli and milk provided for breakfast. A small but useful kitchen that included a kettle, toaster and micro wave unit was also included as was a split-system heater/cooler.

The place was not prepared for a stay, owner was in hospital. Person on site had no time to do anything. So we had to make alternative arrangements. It was not a cosy cottage, it was terrible no kitchen as advertised just a microwave on a shelf. Expect you to organise a full refund. Please refer to previous email regarding this.

Disappointing, studio was cold despite reverse cycle air conditioning, outdoors appeared neglected and accommodation overpriced in comparison to the 4 places we stayed during the preceding 2 weeks.

The building was lovely, with lots of character (stained glass, chimney, sloped roof). The bed was comfortable, and with the heating, it was very cosy. Whilst it was mostly clean, there was some rubbish on the ground, which we had to clean up ourselves. On the last day, we woke up to a man walking on the roof, which was a bit strange. Other than that, thank you for a beautiful weekend.

We arrived to find the housekeeper had received a message saying next booking was Monday, not Saturday as was booked. We were very fortunate that she was there. She hastily made the bed erc..Kitchen facilities was just a microwave, kettle and toaster. Unlike some other Stayz places we have stayed at in the past, there was no coffee or tea or any other basics

11 Rowe st Castlemaine

Very cold, couldn’t get heating working properly the first night, owner came & adjusted it for second night, marginally better but still not really warm. Place was in need of a good clean (microwave plate grimy, cups very stained) pathway to get in quite steep & covered with slippery leaves & a hose lying across it - quite hazardous but could easily have been fixed. All in all, not a very satisfactory place.

No good

No TV for first few days, heater didn't work, it was freezing. Flys and ants in the room. Terrible shower. I did a cashy for the second week with the owner, and then he accused me of smoking inside when I was freezing my arse off smoking outside. The owner was rude I wouldn't recommend to anyone

The property was exactly as described and was lovely and cosy. We were pleasantly surprised, by the lovely range of tea and plunger coffee, and the thoughtful and unexpected breakfast supplies. I absolutely love that it was all fully sustainable with no disposable items. I don't think I have even stayed anywhere else that has had a compost bin available, that had solar and really good insulation. The goldfields letter on the wall gave us about 2 hours of entertainment as we tried to read through it. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Cosy on a cold weekend. We walked into town for dinner and them had a very comfy night's sleep in the cottage. The beautiful garden is really peaceful and the impromptu garden tour was much appreciated.
