We had a great weekend and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Station Master’s House which was very conveniently located and spotlessly clean - and also had children’s books, a high chair and cot for our little granddaughter. We went to the Railway Hotel for dinner on Friday night which was so much fun and the Castlemaine market on Sunday - can’t walk t to do it all again one day soon. ##### Carolyn K.

We travelled to Castlemaine for the weekend with 8 adults and a newborn, and the accommodation and location was simply outstanding. A beautiful charming residence that suits the character of Castlemaine, that is convenient to walk to the Mill and the town. Fantastic hosts and communication. ##### Sydarth B.

We walked to wherever we needed to go. Even though on a main road traffic noise was unnoticeable. Heard the trains but they just added to the atmosphere of the Station Masters House especially the tourist steam train. House well presented with everything we needed. Will book again ##### Bruce M.

It was great to be able to walk into town and we enjoyed playing Trivial Pursuit and Monopoly! Only downsides were the wifi only working in the lounge room and the road noise. ##### Cressida G. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Fairmont-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h522363.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Wyndham Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Airlie-Beach.h2802992.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Royal Hotel, Dublin](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Royal-Hotel.h1673144.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lost Camel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yulara-Hotels-The-Lost-Camel.h4805954.Hotel-Information) > > [Heritage Trail Lodge Margaret River](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Margaret-River-Hotels-Heritage-Trail-Lodge-Margaret-River.h9624427.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Ningaloo Reef Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Coral-Bay-Hotels-Ningaloo-Reef-Resort.h4257765.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monkey-Mia-Hotels-RAC-Monkey-Mia-Dolphin-Resort.h2650828.Hotel-Information) > > [Torquay Foreshore Caravan Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Torquay-Foreshore-Caravan-Park.h6001296.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Resort Torquay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Wyndham-Resort-Torquay.h1927122.Hotel-Information) > > [Bannisters Port Stephens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Soldiers-Point-Hotels-Bannisters-Port-Stephens.h27355893.Hotel-Information) > > [Exmouth Escape Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exmouth-Hotels-Exmouth-Escape-Resort.h4032424.Hotel-Information) > > [Ozone Hotel Kangaroo Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kingscote-Hotels-Aurora-Ozone-Hotel.h2737459.Hotel-Information) > > [Rochester Riverside Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Rochester-Riverside-Caravan-Park.h65341713.Hotel-Information) > > [Lilianfels Resort & Spa - Blue Mountains](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Lilianfels-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h872.Hotel-Information) > > [The Carrington Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-The-Carrington-Hotel.h474003.Hotel-Information) > > [Kangaroo Island Wilderness Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Karatta-Hotels-Kangaroo-Island-Wilderness-Retreat.h2041654.Hotel-Information) > > [Coral Sea Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Coral-Sea-Marina-Resort.h1047180.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Yarm](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yarm-Hotels.d179946.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Glamping at Truffle Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gretna-Hotels-Truffle-Lodge.h22239606.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Mount Teide](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mount-Teide-Hotels.0-l553248621532485504-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Mirage-Resort.h8065.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Hunter Valley Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pokolbin-Hotels-Mercure-Resort-Hunter-Valley-Gardens.h1877968.Hotel-Information) > > [Mandalay Luxury Beachfront Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Mandalay-Luxury-Beachfront-Apartments.h2648804.Hotel-Information) > > [By The Sea Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-By-The-Sea-Port-Douglas.h3024406.Hotel-Information) > > [Heron Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Heron-Island-Hotels-Heron-Island-Resort.h1636471.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Hurghada](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hurghada-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d1512-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Antalya (AYT)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/ayt/manchester-to-antalya) ### Packages > [Malibu Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malibu.d10217.Holidays-City-Breaks)
