Henrietta's is 100% recommended.

The house is gorgeous. The host has created a real homage to its history, but blended with modern comfort. If you're visiting as a tourist to The Goldfields, you'll find it perfectly situated. We found that our host had thought of everything we could possibly need and responded swiftly to any queries.

Chillin in Chewton

Spacious period home with modern kitchen and bathroom. Tastefully decorated and furnished. Super comfy beds. Good WiFi. Great to sit on the front balcony or at rear of property. Only a few minutes from Castlemaine, and around half hour to Daylesford and Bendigo. Property located opposite bush land with walking trails.Very peaceful stay.

Gorgeous cosy comfy cottage

Henrietta’s is a gorgeous cosy comfy cottage with everything you could possibly want/need for your stay. It was scrupulously clean and stocked with lots of lovely touches like breakfast foods, chocolates by the beds, lovely bathroom products, books and games, the list goes on. Very comfy beds with electric blankets if it’s a chilly night. Our host, Kerri, was a pleasure to deal with. We’ll definitely be back.

County Bliss

Very much enjoyed our stay. Had everything you could need and more including generous breakfast provisions. We were lucky with the weather so out furbabies could enjoy the wonderful garden with us as we sat outside and relaxed. The place has a secure fencing and the dogs were very safe there. The RedHill pub has new management so really enjoyed out dinner there and I would also recommend the Midland Bar restaurant if you want something more upmarket. A very nejoyable stay!

Gorgeous Stay

Our stay at Henrietta’s was gorgeous. Kerri met us and showed us around telling us stories of the place and how it came to be. Pretty amazing history and effort to get it back to looking so fine. They place is so comfortable, clean and luxurious. Really enjoyed the bathroom, the bathrobes and plentiful towels and especially the spa. I want that spa. Could spend days on the porch on the huge, comfortable couch for taking in the sunset over the valley. We breakfasted in Castlemaine but cooked our dinners in the kitchen. Loved the benchtop, wow. In all, exactly what we needed for our weekend getaway, thankyou!
