Mountain View Cabin
Staying at Rachel’s place was an absolute dream! From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. The space was spotless, beautifully styled, and filled with thoughtful touches that showed how much care Rachel puts into hosting. Every detail was perfect – from the soft linens and well-stocked kitchen to the welcoming note and local recommendations. Rachel was incredibly responsive, kind, and genuinely went above and beyond to make our stay special. You can tell she truly cares about her guests' experience. Whether you're visiting for work or a relaxing getaway, this is the kind of place you’ll want to come back to again and again. Thank you, Rachel, for an unforgettable stay – we can’t wait to return!

Havana Villa
Absolutely loved our stay wished we could have stayed longer! Had a great vibe felt very much at home. We were very warm with the fire place and split system. The home had everything we could possibly need. We will definitely be back! Thank you Richard

Illalangi Country Retreat
We had a wonderful stay at Jenny's country retreat. Perfect for a weekend getaway, peaceful surrounds in the bush but still only a 10 min drive to castlemaine. Jenny was a great host and we felt right at home straight away. The airbnb was gorgeous and well maintained with all the amenities you'd need, and the farm was great to walk around (especially with the llamas and peacocks!) Would highly recommend! :)

Parker Lodge Maldon

★★★★★ Rent your own Luxury Historic Hotel
The Eaglehawk Hotel was perfect for our family gathering of eight people. The hotel had ample room for us all to find our own space as well as congregate all together. The kitchen was perfect for cooking for ourselves and the dining area felt like you were dining in an expensive restaurant. We were impressed by every aspect of the accommodation, a true gem. Well done on putting together such a classy venue.

Maldon Cosy Garden Cottage - Couples Mini Retreat
Comfortable and private studio in a large and quiet garden setting on the edge of beautiful Maldon. Claire was really helpful, provided clear instructions and communicated well throughout. Thank you!

Fryers Hut
Beautiful place, really well appointed. Was concerned I would be cold in country Victoria in winter but the place was warm and well heated. I communicated I would be arriving after dark and Carla had turned on lights and the heating for me. Excellent stay. Nothing to improve. Well done.

Bush retreat, wood fire, pizza oven & stunning dam
Elbert’s place was fantastic, amazing get away from the city - Elbert had the fire going and the pizza oven all set up and ready to go. The Cottage is cozy and warm in the winter weather, we would highly recommend a weekend getaway at Elbert’s Cottage. Thanks for a wonderful Stay

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.
