The sweetest house that was once a fruit shop, in a delightful old goldfields town. Completely rebuilt and restored, Shopkeeper's is now a world of things beautiful, handmade and preloved. It's a place with a story to tell, a vintage-lover’s dream. With lots to check out, and lush beds, it’s the place to escape the everyday. For romantic hearts and creative souls. On instagram @shopkeepersmaldon (We hold a min 24hr buffer between all bookings.) The space The perfect house for those who love things pre-loved and bespoke, with a quality sound system (including a turntable + vinyl), a definite vintage vibe and a focus on the locally-made. Most things have had a previous life, because they have the most character, and because we prefer to reuse and recycle. It’s a space of the reclaimed and salvaged, texture with a dash of antique interest, velvet and good art. Bedouin Societe French linen bedding completes the picture. Super-cosy in winter with both a wood fire and gas heater; and the split-system keeps things cool in summer. A large garden with the biggest shady tree for lazing on the lawn in summer. It’s the perfect space for 2 people and cosy for 4. Lots of games and puzzles, and walking and cycling trails just around the corner. Guest access The Shopkeeper's House is entirely yours for the duration of your stay. Over the hotter months someone will visit to water the garden, and if the lawn is to be mown during your stay we will let you know. Other things to note 2 night minimum stay except long weekends and festival weekends (Easter and Cup weekend/folk festival - 4 night min) and the Christmas/New Year period (4 night min). We provide a ‘starter’ hamper of fresh milled pancake mix from Goodness Flour, (and the things necessary to make them up), with a selection of Natasha Morgan’s seasonal syrups. Fresh locally-roasted coffee, a selection of teas, and your milk preference complete the picture. We are happy to accommodate furry friends but require a prior conversation to make sure your stay is a happy one. Please ensure that you add your pet to your booking, and note that a surcharge of $50 applies for stays with a pet.
