Period furniture, a grandfather clock and the occasional church pew complement the overall charm, along with plenty of smaller collectable items that add unique personality. Imagine waking aloft on the mezzanine under a soaring, original pressed-metal ceiling. Picture yourself bathing by candlelight under the stars in the private outdoor bathing area, or soaking in the spa bath. Experience a different kind of open-plan spaciousness, with majestic architectural details, and what's more the whole building is yours alone. We offer a romantic getaway dripping with oodles of romance and ambience at an affordable tariff. Pets most welcome. St Francis, Carisbrook (population 1000), is a historic town that lays claim to be the first town in Victoria. A pleasant 2 hour drive from Melbourne, only minutes from the famous Maryborough Railway Station and centrally located to historic gold towns, arts and crafts and the vineyards of the Goldfields and Pyrenees regions. 20 minutes drive to historic Maldon, or the same 20 minutes to gold famous Dunolly (the home of 'The Welcome Stranger' and 'The Hand of Faith' nuggets).
