“Harpers Cottage Castlemaine is a beautiful home with modern amenities including central heating with a renovated bathroom and kitchen while keeping true to the heritage features for a period home. The Cottage is close to cafes, restaurants and the botanical gardens.

The property has everything you need - coffee machine, fluffy bath towels and beautiful linen. The generous extras - kitchen staples, wine, gin, port, chocolate and access to a cool record collection and great selection of books were an added bonus. The beds were extremely comfortable and the central heating worked well.

Parking and access to the property is easy. Kimberly was a fantastic host. We would highly recommend Harpers Cottage when visiting Castlemaine.”

“We loved this house for our Easter getaway. Kimberly has lovingly adorned the house with beautiful artwork and lots of colour. The house is beautiful and cosy.

The garden is huge and has lots of stunning native plants, it’s really tranquil. The small town is lovely with a great botanical gardens and fantastic bakery:

I would highly recommend staying at her Malmsbury home!.”

“Harpers cottage is in a great location, an easy to walk into town and to the botanic gardens. It has everything you could possibly need and has been furnished very nicely. There were a few of us staying and the rooms, bathroom , living and dining are all a great size and accommodated us very well. We also all commented on how comfortable the beds are and how well the heating works. Many thanks Kimberley for making our stay in Castlemaine very easy!”

“This place was fantastic. The house is gorgeous. The asthetic was warm and inviting. Kimberly went beyond with adding little details such as the cocktail bar, record player, cute crockery. The kitchen had everything (and more!) that you need. The beds were comfy. The location was so close to the Mill/Brewery, and still walking distance to the main town. I will definitely be coming back.”
