Old Castlemaine Gaol Tours

Uncover the haunting crimes committed by the former inmates of Old Castlemaine Gaol and find out what it was like to be locked up in one of its small, dark cells.

This historic jailhouse is often on the itineraries of travelers to Castlemaine. But Old Castlemaine Gaol isn't the area's only drawcard. Wesley Hill Market, The Mill Castlemaine, and Castlemaine Botanical Gardens are some other interesting attractions nearby.

8/10 Very Good! (288 reviews)
A short train ride into the city and easy walking distance to the train station. Lots of fresh food at the markets nearby and the accommodation was spacious, clean and quiet. Construction work in the streets nearby was not a noise issue at all. Would have liked a ceiling fan in the bedroom and a clothes dryer for convenience but managed without both.
