So relaxing!

My two nights here were just what I needed. So quiet with great hosts where nothing was too much trouble. The surroundings here make it easy to unwind and a dip in the pool is well worth it. Not too far from town that you can walk but far enough from the busy roads so you can relax. So glad I found this place. Will absolutely return again one day.

A Perfect Retreat – Even Better Than Expected!

We had an amazing stay at Hearthstone Hill in Castlemaine! The property is exactly as described on Stayz – and even better. The peaceful surroundings made it a perfect place to wind down and relax away from the hustle and bustle.The pool was absolutely wonderful, providing a refreshing way to unwind. The king-size bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a great night’s sleep. Richard and Melissa were fantastic hosts—so knowledgeable about the best local spots for breakfast and dinner, and their warm hospitality made us feel right at home.One of the highlights of our stay was being able to bring our dog along. It’s not always easy to find such a welcoming place for pets, and we were thrilled that she could join us on this trip.Overall, Hearthstone Hill is a fantastic re
