A nice room, mostly clean (hairs on the vanity). The shower was scalding hot or freezing cold and was not able to be adjusted in-between. So, no shower after a long day of travel.

Disliked: Amenities
The refurbished look was great, comfy beds and set up. Maybe soap and shampoo amenities would have been good for the room, as I had to head to the shops to get some, but otherwise fine. A jug of water in the fridge would be good instead of having to use the bathroom tap to get a drink of water. Otherwise, very good stay, maybe slightly cheaper in price as it's only one night, but most places in Castlemaine are like that. More rooms to be refurbished and a new look, so we have more options for rooms to stay.

Didn't have any wine glasses for the girl so she bought 6 for $ 4 at the shop next to Vinnies, just thought that wine glasses would be a standard in every room ?

The unit was spacious with a separate bedroom with two single beds and a small bath in addition to the shower. The location was ideal with just a short walk to the shopping area. Some maintenance is required. A door on the cupboard under the washbasin almost fell off when opened. Breakfast was supposed to be included, according to the website, but we were told on arrival that no breakfast was available.
