The Shopkeeper's Quarters, heritage country cabin

A beautiful little house that was once a fruit shop, in a delightful goldfields town. From 1877 to 2019, Shopkeeper's is now another world, a beautiful place of the handmade, the local character, and lots of preloved bits and pieces. It's a place to love, a place to write, a creative and reflective space, tucked away here in Maldon. The Shopkeeper's House has been carefully rebuilt and decorated to share. There are special textiles - handmade and antique, a quality sound system (with a turntable + vinyl!), focussing on the locally-made and hand-made. All sorts of interesting books and mags, eclectic music, and lots of games. Oh, and lush beds. Most things have had a previous life, because they have the most character - just like Shopkeeper's. We prefer reusing and recycling, and anyway, pre-loved is just better. Super-cosy in winter with both wood-fired and gas heating and the split-system keeps things cool in summer. Shopkeeper's is the perfect space for 2 people and lovely for 4. Lots of games, a large garden that's always changing, and walking and cycling trails just around the corner. This is the place to come to balance out your busy life; to be in the country; where time slows just enough to really get away. On Instagram @shopkeepersmaldon. Please note: 2 night minimum stay except festival weekends. Pets welcome by arrangement (please note that a $50 cleaning fee applies). Shopkeeper's isn't suitable for most small people - please children 15yrs+ only.
