Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Castlemaine

Rosie's Cottage was a wonderful place to stay. The property was easy to find, very well equipped with not even a speck of dust, and in peaceful surroundings. We loved walking on the 4WD trail leading from the property, having breakfast at the table on the verandah, watching Netflix on the couch, and cooking in the kitchen. Our dog also loved being able to run off-lead in the enclosed back yard. It was also lovely to meet Sonya when we arrived.

We had a fantastic stay. The place is beautiful and the house has everything you could need. It was spotless and very well presented. We had a great time and hope to stay again sometime soon!

Thanks Glenn, great location, next time in Bendigo we will definitely look at staying again.We went to the Ulumbarra theatre and had a great night…. Plenty on in Bendigo!

We had a wonderful girls weekend at Highton House. It’s a lovely home with amazing views and several fireplaces. It was icy cold when we visited but there were also plenty of heaters and electric blankets which kept us cosy. Brad and CJ were easy to get in touch with and were happy for me to bring my dog - who also loved his stay! It’s nice and close to town but feels like you’re far from civilisation. A very positive experience - would recommend!

We had a great stay, on a cold rainy long weekend we were cosy and warm throughout the house. The kitchen had everything we needed, and wood was supplied for the fireplace. It was so great to stay in a truly dog friendly house, where dogs are allowed inside and had a fully enclosed backyard to explore. Close to some good restaurants in town, we could not fault anything about our stay!

Great private getaway! Perfect secure yard for pets.

Lovely homestay with beautiful surroundings. Flexible & welcoming hosts. Thanks for the stay!

We were visiting Maldon for a family reunion. We especially enjoyed our stay at Bowes cottage as my Bowe ancestors actually built the cottage in the 1850's and my father grew up there with his family. My grandmother owned the cottage until she passed away in 1966. Tess's parents bought the cottage and it has been in her family since. It holds fond memories for me as my family spent many holidays visiting my grandmother. It was so nice to see the renovations that Tess and Alan have made to the place. Especially the inside toilet and bathroom and electricity! It is a very peaceful and we enjoyed a wood fire experience. The garden fills with all sorts of birds and I think we heard a few possums scurrying along the roof. Also great for stargazing fanatics. Tess welcomed us at the cottage when we arrived. It was so nice to meet her and talk about my memories of the house. A wonderful few days for us. Being pet friendly we were able to bring our dog who enjoyed the spacious garden.

a fantastic airbnb home with a great location that will sit on the top of the list for my friends and family to visit Daylesford!

What an absolutely beautiful place! It was sweltering hot when we stayed and yet the beauty of the house , its entertaining area and the furnishings inside and out were so mind blowingly beautiful the chest was quickly forgotten. Whoever owns the house is very cultured, well travelled and has an eye and we are very grateful that they share it with people like us. Beautiful. And the restaurants nearby are exceptional. We ate at Sault and it was better than most Melbourne restaurants in our opinion.

perfect little spot in Hepburn, Sharee was flexible and the place was so easy to check in to, even at 8pm in the dark (they left the lights on for us) bedrooms are get, multiple bathrooms and overall just a spacious environmental! One thing i will mention, coffee and tea is not provided at this house, so bring your own!

We were so impressed as a family how awesome this placed would be, the kids played Pool, ping pong, took advantage of all the activities offered, it was so well thought out, being able to bring our 2 dogs was amazing, we walked them everyday and they loved exploring. We will become back for sure. Thank you.

Our family had a truly wonderful and relaxing stay at Corlara. The house struck the perfect balance between feeling cosy and offering plenty of space for the eight of us - plus the dogs! Some of the standout features were: -Fantastic outdoor entertaining area with a pool, spa, kitchen, and fire pit -Well-equipped, open-plan kitchen indoors -Large dining table perfect for shared meals -Warm, inviting indoor fireplace -All the amenities we needed -Thoughtfully designed home clearly set up with guests in mind The surrounding bush block was great for short walks with the kids and dogs, and the property felt incredibly private. Despite the chilly winter weather, we ended each day soaking in the beautifully heated spa — a real highlight of the trip.

Viv was such a wonderful host. Gave my friends and I the option to checkin early and check out late once we realised the weather wasn’t going to be the greatest. Her place is stocked up with more than enough amenities and things to do. Looking to visit again in the future.

We returned for another gorgeous mini break and love this extraordinary house and rural outlook with dog friendly spaces. Short drive to great local cafe ☕️ and pub and a bit further for wineries walking trails and country gifts John is a wonderful host.

Extremely comfortable apartment in a great location, just a short stroll to town and all the shops/pubs/cafes. We stayed during the Kings Birthday weekend which was cold and wet and absolutely loved the fire and how cosy it was! Would definitely recommend and will be back!

We were lucky enough to find Mia Mia while we were waiting to move into our new house so we had a lengthy stay. It was lovely to have such a homely place that was peaceful and comfortable. Fire for the colder nights, very comfortable beds, functional bathrooms, kitchen and laundry and we particularly enjoyed all the bird life around the home. A very easy walk into town to grab the necessities, a coffee or a pub meal. Thank you so much for your hospitality Bronwyn and Kieran.

One of the best Airbnb places we have stayed. Malcolm and Marina were so warm and welcoming. From the transport to the accommodation, the fresh bread on arrival, to allowing us to feed the horses apples, we could not fault their hospitality. Communication with Malcolm was easy and fast, and he provided excellent local recommendations for food. The Airbnb was cosy, clean and secluded with ultimate privacy. We had a wonderful weekend and can’t thank them enough.

We had the most wonderful stay! So peaceful and serene. The cottage is absolutely perfect with all the amenities you need for your stay. Beautiful surroundings will so much to explore right at your doorstep. Thank you for the thoughtful added touches. We enjoyed the complimentary wine, fresh milk, quail eggs and fresh herbs. We will be sure to return!

We had a pleasant stay at Quiet Country Retreat, located right at the foot of Mount Alexander. The accommodation is great for a couple and has a separate living room and fully equiped kitchen. The verandah is a great place to relax with abundant bird sounds. Castlemaine is just a short drive away and has lots of food options.

A beautiful stay with family at this impressive and homely house. Pascale was a great host, the house was exactly as described and the location was amazing. Short walk into town. Highly recommend

Beautiful stay on Paramoor winery. The cottage was comfortable, warm with heating and a wood-burner, and the property is really peaceful. 10 minutes drive from Kyneton, Lancefield and Woodend, and wineries. The wine at Paramoor was delicious - we had a lovely tasting with Sam. Thank you!

We stayed at the Brooker Tiny home in May 2025. It was autumn, and we had clear and chilly nights which was perfect for lighting fires inside the fireplace, campfire and the sauna. Brooker was compact but designed so well that it was comfortable for two adults and a chocolate labrador- plenty of space for lounging, reading and relaxation. The sauna was amazing with the view of the forest. The peaceful surrounds had walking trails into the forest at your doorstep! All of us enjoyed our stay and wish we could've stayed a little longer next to the Wombat forest. Thank you for hosting :)

Elbert’s place was fantastic, amazing get away from the city - Elbert had the fire going and the pizza oven all set up and ready to go. The Cottage is cozy and warm in the winter weather, we would highly recommend a weekend getaway at Elbert’s Cottage. Thanks for a wonderful Stay
