    The infrared sauna and the pool are to die for and the bed is massive and super comfortable.

    We had a lovely time staying at HeartStone Hill and Melissa and Richard were such lovely hosts. Our dog became instant friends with their lovely dog, Frankie and he was such a joy to be around. Will have to try the sauna next time we stay! Thank...

    The studio was warm and comfortable. Plenty of hot water in the well appointed bathroom and the bed was wonderful! It was in a beautiful quiet spot and the hosts were very welcoming and friendly.

HeartStone Hill is a genuinely unique and special property. Tranquility, serenity & peaceful surroundings and a breathtaking view to the East over the hills. The main house & Studio are built from local sandstone. The pool and entertainment area is located amongst the gum trees, in a relaxing setting. We are located 3 mins drive from the Royal Botanical Gardens & 7 mins drive from Castlemaine Town centre.
Richard & Melissa live in the main house on the property. That enables us to attend to guests needs and any issues or requests. We make you feel at home here at HeartStone Hill. We married here on the property in November 2024 and enjoy hosting & meeting new people. We are LGBTQ+ friendly hosts.
Castlemaine is a thriving regional town with lots of creative, art, music, movie projects, concerts & events happening throughout the year. We have some terrific restaurants and take-away places to enjoy.
