Summary: The best initial impression was the vastness of the accommodation - a long schoolroom divided in half with sensational 12 windows the whole one side of the building. Divided in half, the living area is ample and light. The bedroom is huge, and the pod bathroom is a clever, comfortable design. The kitchenette is small, but we managed to cook all our meals in the facility using the bench oven/griller and microwave. We had 2 dogs with us who adored the garden, where they ran free and were very happy. The proximity to Castlemaine is excellent without the hassle of busy roads and crowds. Everything was EXCELLENT.

Summary: Very much enjoyed Chewton over the Easter break - autumn, places to visit and peace and quiet of the Old schoolhouse. No noisy classroom activities there anymore. Just very restful and comfortable.

Summary: The premises were totally suitable for a younger couple. As an older couple we found the entry steps and the general access not totally appropriate. Had we been twenty years younger it would have been totally adequate. The bathroom and bedroom were excellent.

Summary: A great spot for exploring Castlemaine, Maldon and Bendigo. The schoolhouse is located next to the owner’s house on the outskirts of Chewton. Despite being on the property it is self-contained and quiet. I was welcomed with a fridge stocked with breakfast staples and some lovely home baking, cheese biscuits and chocolate cake. There are no cooking facilities but there is a microwave and a toaster oven, so it is possible to eat at home by purchasing prepared meals. The bed and living room were both very comfortable and the smart TV allows you to use your own streaming services. I had a lovely stay.

Summary: The property was lovely, clean, peaceful, comfortable. The host had thought of everything. Beautiful country hospitality!Suggest not the ideal place to take children, but that suited us. There is not heaps to do in Chewton, so you would want to have a car to get around, but we had a lovely time: good spot to stay if you are looking to tourist Castlemaine Parkrun. We also walked the Castlemaine Diggings National Park, and that was fascinating. Well worth the visit.
