Ashwood

Description

This one and a half acre family-friendly property in a park-like setting is a great base from which to explore the cultural and historic attractions of the Castlemaine district.

Just a few minutes easy driving to Castlemaine township. the house offers seclusion and tranquillity in a natural setting. Kangaroos are regular visitors to the property and birdlife is abundant.

The property is fenced and offers an ideal and safe environment for children. There is lots of space to run around and trees to hide behind. A long gravel driveway gives plenty of scope for riding a bike within the confines of the property. There is also a padded trampoline to play on.

Head out the gate for a pleasant stroll around Fryerstown, or follow one of the many walking tracks in the Goldfields National Park, with their fascinating relics of the past such as stone miners' huts and blacksmiths' forges. The popular picnic spot of Vaughan Springs is also nearby.

Further afield you can make an excursion to Daylesford, an easy twenty minute drive. Bendigo is a half hour. Picturesque villages like Guildford and Newstead, and the many ancient cottages and farmhouses which dot the landscape make this region a photographer's paradise.

Recent Comments from our Guestbook:

- "Nice and cosy, with plenty of wildlife."

- "I loved it, although I only stayed 3 days I loved it. Me, Mum and my grandparents had so much fun."

- "We loved our stay at Ashwood. Set in lovely gardens in a serene setting, there was plenty of room for the children to play and adults to relax. Highlights were the trampoline, the box fire heater for a cosy house, and comfortable beds with plenty of linen. We would stay there again and recommend it to family."

How to get to Fryerstown?

Fryerstown is situated on the Melbourne side of Castlemaine. The trip takes about 1 hour 15 minutes from the outskirts of Melbourne.

We recommend you come up from Melbourne via the picturesque 'back road' from Malmsbury - a great drive!

Alternatively, turn off the Calder at Elphinstone and head towards Castlemaine, passing through Chewton until you reach the soccer ground.

Turn left at Fryers Road. Keep going down this road, passing under the old railway bridge, for another 11 kms or so. Look out for the impressive Duke of Cornwall engine house (a genuine relic of the gold rushes) which is on your right as you approach Fryerstown.
