  • What else ...

    What else ...

    We are set in a wonderful location overlooking Forest Creek and the world famous goldfields site. We are between Chewton and Castlemaine. Our gardens are being built around permicultural principles. There is plenty to do here such as exploring the goldfield sites, swimming in the local lake or visiting Castlemaine (10 mins by bike) where there are plenty of cool places to visit. It's also a great area for country walks or cycling, we can provide bikes. The area is also rich in history.
    Melbourne is 75 minutes away by train.
