Butterworth Cottage

My husband & I had a great wknd away in the Butterworth Cottage. Cottage was clean & well maintained, bed was super comfy and the fire was just perfect for our little winter getaway. Has a secluded feeling even though you’re on a shared property with the owner. Lisa was so helpful, even helping us with our bags when we arrived in the dark. Waking up to the chickens out the kitchen window and fresh laid eggs for breaky was the cherry on top. We had a car and it was about a 3 minute drive into the town. So easy- we loved our stay!

Nothing we didn’t like.

Located in a quiet bush setting close to town. Kitchen has everything you need & well equipped. Cozy fireplace place & air conditioning!

The shower temperature was hard to control.

Hosts saved us the walk to and from the station. The cottage was quiet and private in a setting of native flora. Verandah overlooked garden, beautiful birds, saw a hare, very warm and cosy, deep bath, provided with eggs and pears from the garden. Hosts were attentive but not intrusive. Indian takeaway delivered to the door. Cottage located a short walk to the quaint town. Many beautiful historic buildings. The best bookshop in Australia. Couldn’t resist adding to our library. Botanic gardens are a joy and there were many excellent eating spots with excellent wines.

Distance from station to the cottage was underestimated. Didn’t know that taxis were available. Lucky to meet Steve walking his dog who called Lisa to give us a lift to the cottage. The deep bath was beautiful but a little dangerous to exit. Slippery and no hand rail. Exercise caution to avoid catastrophe.

The accommodation is so cute, cosy and clean! Location to Castlemaine is ideal and the hosts were friendly. Private and comfy. We loved it!
