Vacation rentals with breakfast in Castlemaine

We are local to the area and stayed at Andrews house while our home was being renovated. The space was perfect for our young family of four. The flex space worked perfectly as a play area for the kids and home office for me. While the owners live on the same property, it was large enough that we had our own privacy. Andrew and his family were very respectful of the space and never came over uninvited. There is a gate that requires manual opening to get in and out of the property which for a long term stay was frustrating but necessary to keep the chickens in. The property has a farm feel to it while still being close to the shops and freeway. We never had any issues with noise from the freeway or roosters as the house has double glazed windows. The highlight for us was the coffee machine and water pressure in the shower! We've since purchased the same coffee machine for our home, and we will forever miss the water pressure in the shower.

If I had to use one word to describe our stay it would be generous: Thank you so much for allowing us to use your lovely house as our base: It's gorgeous, roomy and homely. It's also well placed for getting around Melbourne. Griselda is also the most generous and responsive of hosts with lots of supplies for us when we arrived that were most were most welcome. The house is also very generous with all the space and things that make it feel like home. The house is much bigger than it appears on the photographs and has lots of different living areas internally and externally. We couldn't have been happier during our time here. It really was a home away from home for the weeks we have stayed. Thanks again and lovely to have visited:-))

Thanks for having us! after a hectic, cold weekend of Basketball Selena's house was warm and cosy to wind down. beds werensuper comfy, house was beautiful and we loved the addition of the cereal and coffee amenities. also the gas fire was amazing. everyone slept well and we just loved everything about your home. we will be back! thank you again. highly recommend!!

The house was thoughtfully decorated and stocked with everything we needed for our one-week stay! Lovely touches like bread, chocolates, etc. Elizabeth was very responsive and accomodating. Spacious house inside and out. Fireplace and electric blankets helped keep us warm at night. Farm views (and occasionally, smells 😅) were very peaceful.

We loved our Easter stay at Jenny’s! She had kindly left breakfast food and Easter treats in the fridge that were appreciated and meant we didn’t have to rush out to a supermarket in the morning. The house felt homely, it is older so has characteristics to go along with that, but nothing that impacted our stay negatively. We would visit again.

Denise is the loveliest host ever. She cares about her guests and will go out of her way to assist. She has tastefully arranged the old Post Office, and included all the necessary amenities and more. We truly enjoyed our stay in this gorgeous hide-away.

Thank you to Imran for his hospitality and assistance during our stay. The home is beautiful and very accommodating. We look forward to returning in the near future

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage very cosey. The 5 of us had a relaxing time. Louise & Kyle were very welcoming and had a few nice touches that were thoughtful. We also had great parking for our special cars under a nice car port as we were there for a car event. Highly recommend anyone to stay at this beautiful cottage. Lisa Wayne & Family

We had a wonderful stay at Kerryn’s place in Ballarat Central. The location was fantastic—right in the heart of town and within walking distance to the lake. The unit itself was cosy and welcoming, truly a home away from home. Everything inside was just perfect—from the comfortable beds to the well-thought-out family area and spotless bathrooms. It was also just a quick 5-minute drive to a great selection of restaurants. Kerryn was a fantastic host and very responsive to any questions. Highly recommend this lovely spot for anyone visiting Ballarat!

Karen was very accommodating to our staff member and made their stay easy and relaxing.

We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and felt at home and relaxed. Everything we could possibly need was provided and the chocolates on arrival was a sweet touch! Narelle was friendly and replied to us promptly. Our first impression when we walked through this place was clean, bright and beautiful as shown in the pics! Thanks for a lovely, relaxing stay and we will definitely be back and recommend to our family and friends! Just beautiful! :)

The Unit was spot on! Close walk to city centre (3 minutes) if you can’t be bothered walking that far there is a place to eat across the road, lots of thing to do within walking distance, train ride, market on a Sunday, lots of restaurants, cafe’s, shops, museums! Quick walk to the Wombats garden. Wineries within driving distance (great wines!) Thanks Renee & Izzy! We enjoyed our Easter trip away from Geelong..

Beautiful home, perfect for what we needed, close to the city centre

We enjoyed staying at Oliver's apartment in Bendigo. The apartment was very well appointed and was within walking distance to the heart of the city. it was great to have dinner and be home quickly. We really likd the furnishings. The beds were comfortable and the two bedrooms were a reasonable distance to each other. Thoroughly enjoyed the historic photos of Bendigo on the walls as well as the decorative furnishing objects and prints on the walls. Also the bathroom was really nice with its modern features. We were there for the Frida Kahlo show and to be able to get to the Gallery without the need of our hire car or bus was wonderful. Such a nice stay! Thankyou.

Thank you Kurt and Nan. Your hospitality, kindness, warmth and generosity are truly unprecedented. You both are such wonderful people and it shows in the way you treated us—not just a guests but as friends. Your place was a home away from home indeed. It was comfortable, safe, cosy and well equipped. Spending time with you both was indeed the highlight of our trip. It was like visiting the parents. We were welcomed with open arms and made to feel right at home. I think my husband teared up a bit to see how our little one just loved you guys. Thank you for all the generous goodies-milk, cereal, yogurt, juice, chocolates, coffee machine, butter and so much more. Thank you for also showing our little one the possum and for inviting us in for a drink and a chat. It was so, so nice. Thank you, Kurt and Nan! Hope this is not goodbye, but “see you soon again”. God bless you all!

We really enjoyed our stay here. A sweet and comfortable cottage with lovely views. We appreciated the breakfast offerings and the delicious chocolate brownie, yum! A great place to explore the region from, or to simply come and relax in. Thank you Cally and Steve

Always love staying here when we’re in the area. Can’t recommend enough post as amazing at their houses incredible.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Valerie’s bnb, what a charming house full of character and beautiful periodic features. And so very clean! Would definitely recommend. Valerie is a fantastic host, helpful, responsive and informative. The continental breakfast was an added bonus and went down well. Thank you Valerie, we hope to return someday.

Super-ideal stay. Thank you Fiona! Friendly and personal welcome, then complete privacy. Lovely, comfortable, character filled, spacious, high ceilinged space - yet still felt like a cosy cocoon. Quiet, clean, well resourced and thoughtful touches. Lovely to have breakfast supplied. Yes - can confirm the bed was extremely comfortable (many endorsements in previous reviews) but it was also a great 'sleep in' space as blinds kept room quite nice and dark after sun up. Completely happy to recommend with confidence to anyone planning on a trip to the Daylesford/Hepburn Springs or surrounding area... or as a relaxing get away for a night or two. Love love love.

One of the most well stocked AirBnBs we’ve stayed in. The place was lovely, with the ducks and the lake right out front. Definitely would love to stay again!

Lovely quaint cottage for a restful getaway. We particularly enjoyed a soak in the spa with some wine after a long walk. Very comfy bed and thoughtful touches.

We had a fabulous weekend at Azidene and would highly recommend it! David was welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. We loved the private garden setting and the proximity to everything.

Paul and Jo’s place was beautiful, it had such a peaceful, homely feel to it. The decor was gorgeous! The breakfast supplies were ample and lovely and it was so nice to have a toasted Hot Cross Bun for supper both nights. Wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the home more as we were out all day until late at night. Thanks for telling us about the kangaroos, we saw heaps but we were prepared by Jo and driving slowly :-) The sunrises were lovely (and bright) and the night view was amazing too!

Super nice and kind host. Such a tranquil place with delicious breakfast, had a great time playing tennis with host!
