Winner of the 2012 HIA award for best villa development, Johnstone Terrace offers luxury at its finest. Complete with beautiful finishings, tasteful furniture, polished floorboards, gas log fires and a decadently large bathtub you’ll never want to leave.
We do recommend you get outside though to enjoy a picnic in the luscious green gardens or stroll down to the breathtaking Forest Creek (all at your very own doorstep). That being said, the gorgeous living area opens up onto a stunning and sunny balcony – meaning you can enjoy the natural splendour around you from the comfort of this gorgeous home.
Comfort is where Johnstone Terrace really shines, the irresistible bedrooms and open plan kitchen/living area have been designed to make our guests as happy and comfortable as possible. Tastefully restored to bring old-world charm hand in hand with modern luxury, Johnstone House Terrace boasts a modern kitchen, free wi-fi, smart TV, board games and boundless character.
Despite being situated in an oasis of greenery, Johnstone Terrace is only a short walk away from all the cafes, shops and restaurants that downtown Castlemaine has to offer.
Equally perfect for unwinding or entertaining, this little slice of heaven will leave you with a smile on your face as you forget the rest of the world watch the steam train go by.

Absolutely lovely house for a weekend getaway. Plenty of room but still very cosy. Kitchen has everything you need and it’s only a short wander into the Castlemaine centre.

This is the third time I have stayed at one of the Terrace houses and once again I was delighted! I love how we can chose between having rooms set up for couples or friends ie king size or double beds. The property is well maintained, stylish, super warm, comfy and homely. Pretty sure I will be back again soon.
Comfy, clean and all amenities covered well and truly. Directions when leaving was very useful and considerate; eg. don’t forget charging cords/plugs, etc
A cute little house, if rather twee. It was clean and cosy with excellent heating for a cold weekend in Castlemaine. Plenty of kitchen equipment and glassware which is appreciated. But why, in a house that sleeps six, does the living area only accomodate 5? We had to bring in an outdoor chair and take turns being uncomfortable. An extra lounge chair would make all the difference to gust comfort.
Perfect set up for a grandmother, a mum and dad and two kids. Everything you need is there and everything is comfortable. Would stay there again for sure.
