Vacation rentals in Mount Alexander Shire

We had such a wonderful stay at Olivia’s place! The home was spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated, we especially loved the floor-to-ceiling window in the master bedroom with stunning views of the lake. The spacious deck was perfect for relaxing, and we were lucky enough to enjoy both a breathtaking sunrise and moonlight reflections on the water. The kitchen was incredibly well-equipped with everything we needed, and we really appreciated the thoughtful touches, fresh free-range eggs, butter, and bread waiting for us in the fridge. Our kids absolutely loved their time on the farm. A real highlight was visiting the pet cows and bulls with Liv and feeding them carrots, such a special experience! Malmsbury town is just a short drive away, and the bakery there is a must-visit, the pies are delicious! Thank you, Liv, for an amazing weekend. We hope to return again soon!

A Peaceful Paradise: The Perfect Getaway Upon arrival, we were greeted with the delicious smell of fresh bread and freshly cooked Anzac biscuits. It's the little touches that make an experience special, and Paul and Janet have truly mastered it. This property is absolutely stunning! The studio is beautifully appointed with immaculate attention to detail throughout. The peaceful surroundings offer a perfect retreat, with private dams, beautiful walking paths, and abundant wildlife—we were delighted to spot kangaroos in the morning and evening. Paul and Janet were exceptional hosts—warm, friendly, responsive, and incredibly accommodating without being intrusive. They've created something truly special here and their passion for providing guests with a memorable experience is evident in every aspect of the property. If you're considering booking this place, don't hesitate—it's an 11/10 experience that you won't forget.

Great host, had some issues but was resolved quickly/ found solutions to our problems. Highly recommend the team at Flophouse!

Kate’s place was the perfect escape from the city for a long weekend. The cottage is full of character—unique, cosy, and set in a quaint, peaceful spot. We loved cooking in the well-equipped kitchen and enjoying meals in the garden. It’s also just a short walk to some of Castlemaine’s best food and wine. Kate provided a wonderfully detailed welcome guide along with so many thoughtful recommendations that made our stay even better. Our dog Robin especially loved curling up by the fireplace. We couldn’t recommend this place more!

Our second stay with Jane, both properties we stayed at were perfect and cosy. Very friendly. The location is amazing, close to the river walk, plenty of restaurants, and bars - we had a lovely time away

I'd highly recommend Stephanie's country cottages to anyone looking for a peaceful bush getaway. A friendly and gracious host, we felt right at home straight away and the cottage was lovely and comfortable. The garden is a fantastic place to do some star gazing, then have a copy fire to warm back up. Just loved it. Thank you for having us Stephanie!

This was the perfect private, relaxing, couples night away; just getting back to basics with the special touches.

Claire was an amazing host — welcoming, responsive, and made sure everything was just right for our stay. The place was perfect for two people: clean, cozy, and super relaxing. It really felt like the ideal little getaway. There were plenty of things to do nearby, but it was also quiet and peaceful with no disturbance from neighbours. We couldn’t have asked for a better escape!

Rhonda was a great host, quick to respond and her home was beautiful with lots of personal touches, loved the photo album showing the process of the home being built and the garden and outdoor area were beautiful to relax and enjoy the view. Inside was beautiful and welcoming, the coffee machine was a life saver with good quality coffee and welcoming chocolates next to a beautiful welcoming message, we will definitely return
