A Perfect Country Getaway
Fairbank House is truly elite. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a generous hamper filled with beautiful local produce — such a thoughtful touch that immediately made us feel welcome. The home itself strikes the perfect balance between stunning period charm and modern comfort. Every detail has been considered, from the fairy lights and bug zappers outside to the well-equipped BBQ and outdoor area — ideal for relaxed evenings.
Inside, the three spacious bedrooms were beautifully styled with plush bedding, and the bathrooms were equally lovely. Every amenity you could possibly need was provided, making our stay incredibly comfortable. Communication with Jamie was seamless — friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout.
Maldon is one of Victoria’s best-kept secrets — full of character and charm, with plenty to explore. And with Castlemaine, Kyneton, Daylesford, Bendigo, and Mount Macedon all nearby, it’s the perfect base for a regional escape.
We couldn’t fault our stay and would absolutely return. Highly recommend!
Lovely property, renovated (but not "restored") to high standard but modern electricals (great wifi, TV) and kitchen/baths. Spacious home, multiple eating areas, quiet street, and with a terrific host. Maldon is a charming small town and well-located to see the goldfields area. Only downside is there are only a couple of places in the town proper to dine out (Castlemaine is close). But a great place with all creature comforts.
