Disliked: Amenities
Fine place to stay, but overpriced for the quality. Will look elsewhere for my next trip. ** Pros: great location, flexible check-in time, beautiful building. Nice TV, loved the spa bath, comfy bed. Cons: kitchen/bathroom not stocked, towels had holes in them, fridge froze our food, bed wheels wouldn't lock so they rolled around. No food on-site as advertised, room not serviced during our stay. The room was also so sparsely furnished that the echoes made it quite difficult to talk.

The room was clean and tidy. You could tell a lot of money has fairly recently been spent on renovations, however things are failing; the biggest issue we had was difficulty flushing the toilet. It seems there’s a bit of an issue with the toilets. I hope they can make a warranty claim on these toilets, it’s not going to be a cheap exercise to replace them since they are the invisible cisterns behind a glass panel on the wall.

The refurbished look was great, comfy beds and set up. Maybe soap and shampoo amenities would have been good for the room, as I had to head to the shops to get some, but otherwise fine. A jug of water in the fridge would be good instead of having to use the bathroom tap to get a drink of water. Otherwise, very good stay, maybe slightly cheaper in price as it's only one night, but most places in Castlemaine are like that. More rooms to be refurbished and a new look, so we have more options for rooms to stay.

Having stayed at this accommodation in the past and had a very enjoyable experience. Booked for 3 nights again which was to include breakfast. On arrival was told they didn't do breakfast anymore, asked for a refund for the breakfast I had paid for, but was ignored. 1st day we asked for the room to be cleaned as on our return in the afternoon nothing had been done. on the 2nd Day we gave. The bed was comfortable but the rest of the room was in a very poor state of needing repairs. Would never here again
