Spring Hill Views
A beautiful, spacious place to stay for our long weekend. Enough room for three families with kids, and large, open living spaces to relax and play. Kids loved the animals and swings on the property and Ricardo made us very welcome with some treats for our stay. Also well equipped kitchen with plastic cups/bowls for kids and lots of games/toys for kids to enjoy. All had a wonderful stay, would definitely recommend. Thanks Ricardo!

Cottage by the Lake
Cottage by the lake is a stunning spot and everything the online photos promised, and is perfectly located to explore the Macedon area. It's a wonderfully peaceful property with the only sound being local birds, of with there are plenty. Great lakeside walk trails and the clearest night skies. Each of us thoroughly enjoyed our stay and have returned home totally relaxed and rejuvenated.

4 Bedroom/5 bed/W’Life Pk/Sov Hill/Kryall near!
Alan’s home was beautifully appointed and very spacious. The surroundings were quiet and the location very accessible and convenient for our event. The use of the two car garage was a real bonus for us as we were driving classic cars. Alan’s communication was terrific and there were no issues with access to the house. I thoroughly recommend staying here, especially with two or more couples. Thank you Alan!

Birdie and Brad's Broomfield Retreat
We loved our relaxing stay here after a big road trip. Amie was very kind and accommodating for our check in (and out) times. The house was presented beautifully and all the amenities made us feel right at home.

Viewtopia Retreat: Panoramic Macedon Ranges views
We had a girls weekend for 9 of us to get away and relax. Despite being under an hour from Melbourne city it felt so peaceful, we loved chilling out on the comfy couches with the view, kangaroos and bunnies to watch! Beds were really comfy too. Highly recommend for families or large groups!

Locarno Cottage at Hepburn Mineral Springs Reserve
Lovely place, very inviting. Four different outdoor seating areas makes this perfect in the right weather.

Daylesford La Boheme Luxury Forest Spa Villa
Spent 2 nights La Boheme. We really enjoyed our stay here. The place is in the middle of nature with plenty of wildlife. The highlight was definitely the regular kangaroos bouncy past the house. The location is perfect with plenty to do and plenty to see.

Cosy Cottage with Views near Redesdale Pub & Cafe
This is a great little cottage in a quiet and peaceful village overlooking a river valley and surrounded by farmland. The cottage is spacious and well-equipped in terms of the kitchen and generously supplied with breakfast provisions and little extras. The host is friendly and helpful and always available with help and tips. A very relaxing stay away from the city.

Your guide to Maldon
All About Maldon
All that glitters really is gold in Maldon, which is located around a 1.5 hour drive northwest of Melbourne. A living testament to Australia’s gold mining history, Maldon has National Trust heritage status. Between its railway station, old post office, churches, and pretty shop fronts that line the town centre, walking around here is like taking a step back in time. Look a little closer though, and behind the painted brick 19th century facades you’ll find cafes, art galleries, and independent shops, each with distinct character. The history of the Victoria Goldfields looms large here — ride an old-world steam train to nearby Castlemaine, or explore the mines on a candlelit tour.
Old-fashioned sweet shops and antique stores are brimming with treasures and homegrown produce abounds at the bi-weekly farmers’ market. Maldon also plays host to colourful local festivals throughout the year, dedicated to local food, antiques, and folk music.
The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Maldon
The weather in Maldon is temperate all year round, with hot, sunny summers, crisp but mild winters, and relatively little rain compared to other parts of the country. Expect high heat and plenty of fellow visitors in January and February. The Maldon Taste of Gold and Maldon Twilight Food & Wine Festival are also two good reasons to come during the summer months, as the town transforms into a foodie’s paradise. Come in autumn for moderate temperatures, mostly dry conditions, and a quieter atmosphere. Spring and winter can be rainier, although sunny days are still likely. Come in spring for the Easter Festival, August for the Maldon Folk Festival, and October to grab a gem at the Maldon Antiques & Collectibles Fair.
Top things to do in Maldon
Carman's Tunnel
When in Maldon, do as the miners did and head down into the depths of Carman's Tunnel gold mine. Here, it’s always dark, the temperature is on the cool side, and the only way to get around is to follow a guide, your path lit by the warm flicker of a candle. Learn about the history of the area and mining techniques, and hear stories from the gold rush days.
Mount Towengower
Hike the eight-kilometre loop to the top of Mount Towengower, where an imposing lookout tower stands tall on the mountain peak. Climb to the top and you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views over the surrounding mountains. This landmark has been standing since 1923, and is a particularly scenic spot for a picnic.
Steam Train
Ride the Victorian Goldfields Railway from Maldon to Castlemaine, a living relic of the gold rush and golden age of rail travel. Roll down the windows in your private compartment and listen to the whistle blow as you wind through the Victorian countryside. If you’re feeling ritzy, opt for first class tickets and get comfy in the Edwardian and Art Deco parlour carts.
