The house was even nicer than the photos. Very tranquil, rustic, spacious and private. The back patio is quite amazing. Waking up to bird sounds instead of traffic was lovely (frog sounds in the evening). House had a very well equipped kitchen and there's plenty of books, games and puzzles for relaxing by the fire.

We returned for our second visit to CCH for a Summer stay. Our last stay was at the end of Summer which was cool enough to enjoy the open fire places throughout the house. This was an equally beautiful time of year to visit- even with the warmer climate. The spacious mud brick house is stunning in its bush setting, very private and extremely clean. If you love nature and the rare beauty of very old, awe inspiring gum trees, this is the place for singles, couples and families.There is a 300 year old Red Gum on the property and many beautiful gums surrounding CCH. We bush walked with our girls and saw many native animals such as: kangaroos, wallabies, eagles and hawks. On our last visit we saw an Echidna burrowing into the ground. There are many drives you can do to nearby towns with lots of antique shops; but don't stay away from the house for too long or you'll not experience its unique offerings of peace and tranquility- something we just don't get to experience in our day to day, busy lives.

we loved the beautiful scenery, the open fireplace, the birds, the walks. The house is lovely and bright, very large rooms and lots of nooks and crannies to explore for the kids. The library was amazing, no matter how many times you looked you would find another fascinating book. The kids loved playing chess with grandad and traffic jam was also a hit, we attempted a jigsaw but couldn't finish it in the time we were there. We travelled on the Castlemaine to Maldon steam train which was a highlight too, had dinner at Capone's in Castlemaine delicious pizza!
