What a place to get away from it all and yet have all the modern conveniences. Quiet setting on the edge of a small country town yet conveniently placed for access to Castlemaine, Goldfields and Bendigo. Only 1 hour from the north western suburbs of Melbourne & ½ hour to Bendigo.

Two spacious bedrooms, great bathroom with large walk in shower, fully functional kitchen with marble bench tops and dishwasher. Two reverse cycle air-conditioners and two wood burners ■small daily charge if using firewood from shed■, large flat screen TV in lounge, TV in master bedroom.

Harcourt is the premier apple and cider centre of Victoria and also has a thriving cherry and wine industry.

Quiet country town that used to be on the main route from Melbourne to Bendigo and is now just a short diversion off the Calder Freeway.

There is a quirky local store, fuel station, Cidery’s, Winery’s and a very unique place called Woop Woop which while you will need to book is guaranteed to entertain. There is also the Goldfields Track Cafe which is open Thursday for coffee/lunch and Fri,Sat,Sun for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

City dwellers please note that this property is on the edge of a small quiet country town which is awesome for relaxing in comfort and getting closer to nature however there is NO WIFI provided ■the reception for all the main mobile providers is good■. The town of Harcourt has a wonderful character and it only has one store, one petrol station, a Post Office and a Motel. Its possible to easily walk to either of them however to access the other larger towns in the are such as Castlemaine or Bendigo you would be best to have a car. I recommend that you check a map online to get clear where Harcourt is in relation to these towns as we have had people low score the location and I would prefer that you are fully clear that this is a nice quiet country property before booking.
