Medieval Cottage Retreat on Djaara Country Escape to another realm in this medieval cottage on Djaara Country, lovingly built using traditional techniques by renowned local craftsman Rob Hadden. Set in a tranquil 2.5-acre valley among willows, oaks, and roses beside a miniature lake, the property also includes another 2.5 acres of bushland teeming with kangaroos, birdlife, and wildflowers. Let the frogs sing you to sleep and wake to the chorus of morning birdsong. This eco-retreat is furnished with natural materials, and breakfast foods of wholesome local provenance are provided. Located near Castlemaine, an area brimming with farmers markets, bars, live music, cafés, vintage shops, artisan food producers, and a landscape rich in historical significance. Mountain bike trails, galleries, and parks are also close by for you to explore. Inside, the cottage features a high vaulted cathedral ceiling with massive timber beams and a spiral staircase leading to the minstrel’s gallery and sleeping chamber with a queen size bed. The kitchen is equipped with a toaster, electric kettle, induction hotplates, and fridge, and you’ll be provided with fresh, quality local ingredients for breakfast. The bathroom includes a shower, toilet, and hand basin, with all linen provided. Outdoors, a wrought-iron table on the lawn overlooks the water — a perfect spot for morning tea or an evening glass of wine. Please note: no pets are allowed due to sensitive wildlife. Guests are required to take all rubbish home, as there is no council collection at this property. Unfortunately, the cottage is not wheelchair accessible — it is truly medieval in that regard.Medieval Cottage is a quirky and amazing one bedroom free standing cottage situated in a little valley. The generous living area has stunning architecture, cathedral ceiling with enormous beams, and a minstrels gallery overlooking the room. Up the hidden spiral stairs to the sleeping chamber where a queen size bed awaits you. Lead light windows look out over the lake and red velvet curtains provide cosy darkness. Linen is provided and is of all natural materials, suitable for chemically sensitive people. Other buildings on the property are the owners house and a medieval barn and gatehouse, if the owner is present you may be able to arrange a tour of the buildings as they are most unusual and impressive. Sited 3 km from the centre of Castlemaine, and 1.5 km from the Botanical Gardens, a 7 minute drive or a leisurely walk down the hill. If you like to cook, the kitchen is equipped for this and with some foods of local provenance, otherwise there are many delicious places to eat out in town, as well as local supermarkets and farmers markets. You’re welcome to explore the grounds. Please note there is an unfenced dam near the cottage and a steep spiral staircase so not safe for small children unless under close parental supervision.
