Castlemaine is that perfect place for a quiet weekend away.
Established in the gold rush days of the 1850s, it has a history and charm all of its own, a legacy of yesteryear. Galleries, nurseries, the historic home & garden of BUDA, antique stores (notably the Restorers Barn), cafes, restaurants, pubs, wine bars, wineries and bookshops are all on offer. For those more energetic and an easy stroll away, there is the Botanical Gardens or self guided walks in places like the natural Kalimna Park.
