Shopkeeper's

Bought back lots of memories from our childhood. Enjoyed reliving all these moments as everything was so beautifully presented. Added bonus was the train station being so close. The cottage was sparkling clean and there was a lovely area to relax in the garden as well. Jamie our host completed our stay. Highly recommended.

Was a pleasure to meet you both. We hope to see you again someday to once again enjoy Shopkeepers

We would love to thank both Kate and Jamie, we had the most amazing mini honeymoon and loved the wine and cake we received on our arrival! The cottage exceeded all of our expectations and Jamie was a pleasure to deal with offering advice on things to do and places to eat!! If you are thinking of booking, stop thinking and book!! You won’t regret it! We will be back!! Thank you for giving us such wonderful memories x Dean & Kas

We had the most lovely stay at Shopkeepers , with our 6 and 8 year old Children. It was like a little history lesson crammed into one weekend we loved it. So many objects to explain, a great awaking of how eras of the past lived for them. The house was impeccably clean and we felt completely comfortable in these new times of covid. The Linen sheets are to die for and all the extra little touches like fresh flowers did not go unnoticed! Thank you Jamie your service was great well will be back such a wonderful area to explore!!

It was our pleasure to host your family. Hope to see you again sometime soon.

'The Shopkeeper’s House is a very special and beautiful place. Full of character, charm and vintage chic, this hidden gem is sparkling clean and super cosy. Great location a stone’s throw from the Victoria Goldfields Railway and 10 minutes leisurely stroll to the Main St. Hosts Kate and Jamie are the loveliest people who made sure all my needs were met. The Shopkeeper’s is definitely one of the reasons for spending a few days at quaint Maldon. 5 perfect stars.'

I contacted Jamie on a Friday afternoon seeking accommodation for the next day - he not only sought us a place to stay but also an excellent experience at the Shopkeepers! We would come back in a heartbeat and absolutely loved this place. Thanks all! See you soon.

'We had a wonderful stay here. Walking into the cottage is like stepping back into time. Everything about it is gorgeous and welcoming. The bed was super comfy, the fire place was warm and cosy, and the lovely breakfast and tea supplied was an added bonus. The cottage is a short stroll into town, but to be honest, we could have spent all of our weekend in! We were warmly and personally welcomed, with helpful tips about the local area. We loved the eco touches in the cottage, too. All in all, a delightful place - one that we would highly recommend and worth every cent.'

The Shopkeeper’s is a memorable experience. Jamie provided a warm welcome with crusty bread, still warm, a fire set and ready to go and the heater on. Jamie’s attention to detail is meticulous. Being in the tourism business I made mental notes about the gorgeous linen bedding and abundance of vintage style quilts, luxe toiletries, adorable vintage crockery and assortment of crystal wine glasses. At the Shopkeeper’s you receive exceptionally generous hospitality. It is a beguiling immersion in the past without a single compromise on modern comforts. The location is perfect, a stone’s throw from the historic railway station and a short stroll along the rail trail to the center of Maldon. Shopkeeper’s is a rich story and when you stay you become one of the characters.

We loved our two nights in Shopkeepers! It's so rare to find beautiful lodgings where our family dog can also stay. Shopkeepers has this convenience and more: walking distance to town, all possible comforts (ben linens to die for), a pretty outdoor area for a cuppa, delicious breakfast hamper, cosy fire and treasures to enjoy on every shelf. Thanks for making us all feel so welcome.
