Really great stay, easy to organise and reception helpful. Someone took my car spot before I came back in the evening so that was annoying- but there was a car spot on the street nearby.
Woke up during the night because the room was cold- turned on heater and used an extra blanket and was all good.
Location was easy to get to everything nearby that I wanted to visit in the morning.

Beautifully tucked away, didn’t get the opportunity out to use the pool but it looked very inviting. Gorgeous bathroom, perfect for a family. Owners very thoughtfully put up a Christmas tree for the holidays.

Beautiful place to stay and close to Castlemaine. It had everything we needed for our short stay and we had great communication and a lovely welcome from the owners. We appreciated the sourdough bread for the morning too :)

Staying in Maldon is like stepping back in time, when life was simpler. The shops are more than adequate and have a large selection of antiques shops, to fossick through. There is an IGA supermarket, newsagent and pharmacy in the main street. There is a true sense of community and the locals will always have a chat to you.
It would be great if the choice of restaurants and hotels, would be more consistent. I would recommend to prebook, especially for the Easter Festival, but even then unexpected things happen, which leaves you trying to find places to eat. The pubs serve classic pub food. Looking forward to trying Francos Italian restaurant and hoping French restaurant Le Sol, goes back to serving dinners. The Golden Nugget Restaurant in Porcupine Village, serves a delicious, Sunday, roast lunch.

A lovely historical town but best to visit on a weekend or late in the week so attractions and cafes are open. We arrived late Sunday afternoon and left Tuesday morning. Many cafes, restaurants and shops were closed on Monday and Tuesday. The train from Maldon to Castlemaine was also not operating. It's a very quiet, quaint town and a great place to base yourself to also visit nearby towns such as Castlemaine and Kyneton.

Maldon was central to where we wanted to be.
Maldon was central to where we wanted to be. The tourist information centre was amazing. Very knowledgeable and happy to share and answer all our questions, nothing was too much trouble. We collected information on the gold diggings and picked up maps etc.
Had tea at the local pub and the food was great for pub food. Salmon was cooked to just how I asked for it.
The locals were very friendly and we loved the community spirit of the town. Volunteer ambulance service to the local hospital, the community run aged care facility etc etc A caring town.
We are keen to back and explore more of the town and its history. Freda & [Stephen]

Old school town, shop fronts possibly look like they would've back in the day. Maldon Hotel had great meals and service from staff. Good walks to check out the surrounding area. Not too far from Bendigo either.

Maldon is well known for its very well preserved main street. So if you want to visit a place where the high street isn't full of generic, multinational businesses, this is the town for you. The town is small and is easy to walk and/or drive around. It's also a short drive to a few other notable towns in the region such as Castlemaine, making it a good base for a regional tour. I had coffee & cake at the Gold Exchange Café, (yum), dinner at the Kangaroo Hotel (nice steak), and brekkie at the Maldon Cafe. While having brekkie at one of the outdoor tables, the passing locals nodded with a greeting smile, which I happily returned.
We popped up to Maldon for the weekend and this cottage was excellent.
We arrived with the air conditioner on for us which was a pleasant surprise, the rooms and beds were comfortable, the gardens we lovely, and best of all it was working distance to the main street.
We enjoyed a drink on the front porch and loved chatting to the chooks in the backyard.
Overall highly recommended.
breakfast basket was absolutely amazing, very welcoming, Maldon was gorgeous place to visit, the garden the property is situated on is absolutely stunning. Highly recommend Palm house it has a lot of history to it. Also once your done cooking your breakfast go sit outside on the back porch and enjoy the serenity you don't ever want to leave trust me. Thank you Andrew
Beautifully presented property. All units front onto a cottage type garden with BBQ facilities and a swimming pool. Everything about this property is first class. Reasonably priced and only a 10 minute walk to Maldon township, the room was spotlessly clean with all the necessary amenities provided. I have no hesitation in thoroughly recommending this property.
The Hotel was so interestingly presented. So many grand and unusual elements to delight guests. The kitchen was very well equiped and offered all appliances and cooking essentials which made self catering a breeze. The location was an easy walk into Maldon’s main street but the Hotel itself was pleasant enough to stay put for the weekend.
A charming little home in the countryside. The tiny house was comfortable and surprisingly roomy. Being mostly off grid was so easy! It was a really lovely experience being amongst the apricot orchard with visiting kangaroos and even a curious hare. 😊 Being close to the beautiful Maldon village was an added bonus.
The entire team at Maldon's Eaglehawk Motel were so lovely throughout our short stay and very trusting and helpful! The Family Room we stayed in with our 5-week old son was fantastic and the rooms and bathroom were very cottage-like and comforting. I would definitely stay here again and can highly recommend!
There was a wonderful breakfast basket of fresh local produce provided each morning.
The location was perfect with only a very short walk into the main street of Maldon.
Amazing period-set decor that made us feel like we were stepping back into the 1800s.
Andrew and Amanda were perfect hosts.
super clean and well presented. A secure yard and dog bowls etc made us feel comfortable having our dogs there. A lot of places advertise dog friendly but aren’t actually very dog friendly and come with a long list of rules. Parker Lodge is very dog accommodating. It was like being at home!
Superb property in a great location. The property has all the facilties you need and so much more a credit to the Owners. We had a delightful stay in the historic town of Maldon. Great location to explore Castlmaine and Bendigo from too. Thank you to Jamie for all the additional goodies.
Beautifully furnished cottage with very comfortable beds, couches etc. Lovely big kitchen, living area, and some nice outdoor options. Quiet location with an easy walk into the town of Maldon. The cottage was well maintained and very clean. Bathroom had good water pressure,
Beautiful quiet spot, close to the centre of Maldon (we walked to dinner at the local pub and back, it's a nice stroll).
Lovely staff. Very clean. It has everything you need (microwave in the room is a nice touch), plus a gorgeous garden with a pool. Highly recommended!
Walking distance from the centre of Maldon. Rooms not very big but clean and cozy with all expected facilities (tea &.coffee making, fridge, plates and cutlery). Bed very comfy, nice outside sitting area, great shower. Would come back here if I ever get back to Maldon.
It was ideal for our purpose of visiting Maldon. The accomodation space was compact but not cramped. There is an enclosed 'outside' porch which allowed us to remove wet boots and coats before entering the accomodation space which worked well for us in the wet weather.
A beautiful house and garden, with the most genial hosts. The breakfast basket was overflowing with goodies, including fresh herbs from the garden and local produce. A short break in Maldon was refreshing and relaxing, and we hope to revisit this charming spot soon.
Everything went so well - it was absolutely fabulous - couldn't fault anything, communications were excellent, service fabulous, the gardens were lovely, the cottage was brilliant, it was so cosy, very delightful and warm.
