Rustic Miners Cabin
We had a really nice couple of days away. The cabin is incredibly well set up with gas lighting, solar lighting, and skylights. It has a sink with hot and cold water, and USB power to keep your 'essentials' charged. The barrel heater keeps you nice and warm. I brought a few extra items from home to assist with cooking, but the kitchen setup, as is, will easily handle most meals.
The shared bathroom is nicely set up. It’s worth noting that the bathroom is attached to the cabin and shares a wall, so you can hear when other guests from the glamping tents come and go.
Overall, we had a very pleasant stay and would happily return.

A great location from which to explore Castlemaine and surrounds. Across the main road is an interesting and expansive forested area with a 5 k walking track that leads to the reservoir. Saw abundant Roos, wallabies and an old riverbed. Kids loved exploring there and so did the dog. The cabin itself is as expected- well set up, homely and super cozy once you get the drum-fire going. Paul & Fran didnt impose themselves at all- but were there if needed.

Travel back in time
We brought our kayaks and found the cottage to be in a great location to access some very pretty spots. The house is very comfy and a short hop to Castlemaine. We had fun exploring the diggings and trails. If you are staying a few days I would recommend bringing a few essentials to cook with. We brought a cast iron pan, bbq implements, oils, sponge, extra loo roll, torch, lantern and condiments which were very handy as the kitchen is cute but small. There is a grill for the outdoor fire so you can sit and cook there too. If the skies are clear I would also recommend bringing binoculars or telescope. We had brilliant dark skies.

Paul's cottage is wonderfully rustic. You really do feel "off grid", but it has everything you need. Highly recommend for a trip away!

We had a wonderful stay at Paul's cabin, it was so well equipped with everything we needed and so cosy and comfortable. We loved the open fire and it was so good to bring our dog who had such a great time. A really beatiful cabin highly recommend, the glamping tent down the road looks great too 👌
