2010 National Winner TakeABreak Self-contained B&B Holiday Accommodation

Cottage, Bed & Breakfast, Self-contained apartment

Ken & Chris' B&B is a cottage-style studio which has, since 2001, provided the perfect base for couples exploring Castlemaine and surrounds, attending local events or family functions or just relaxing and escaping from the pressures of modern life.

Concealed at the rear of our home the unit has a private patio surrounded by cottage gardens. Warm and cosy for colder days and air-conditioned for comfort during warmer spells.

We leave you in peace to enjoy your stay but are just through a gate for anything you may need.

So you can soak in the double spa, and relax and unwind by:
- Listening to music
- Reading a book or magazine from our library
- Watching TV or one of our videos,
- Playing cards or a board game from the cupboard
- Observing birds in the garden
- Indulging in a Massage or Day Spa in your room by booking through

Town centre and shops are just a pleasant 10 min stroll away.

Generous continental breakfast ingredients can be provided, or a full cooked breakfast may be available by arrangement at very reasonable rates. The unit has everything you need to prepare and cook BYO snacks, meals or BBQ.

Alternately, book "accommodation only" and enjoy a breakfast/brunch at one of the many cafes in town.
