Herrmann’s Cottage is a classic Australian miner’s cottage (circa 1860) set on over ½ acre of gardens. It is fully self-contained and completely private. The cottage has recently been carefully redecorated throughout—retaining all the character but with the modern comforts. It features a traditional front verandah with slate paving; inside there are the original timber dado panels and Baltic pine floors. There’s a sitting room with a wood fire, three bedrooms, an updated bathroom with an original ‘claw-foot bath’ and a brick paved courtyard with an outdoor table setting and BBQ.
Herrmann Blum acquired this ½ acre allotment in the Parish of Maldon by Crown Grant in 1859. He established “a three-roomed weatherboard house with iron roof, two stables and outhouses”. Sometime later an extension was added expanding the orginal cottage from one to three bedrooms.

The Maldon township streetscape is an authentic reminder of the nineteenth century. The old shopfronts along the main streets, the period weatherboard, brick or stone homes; together represent the best preserved example of an Australian gold mining town. So it’s not surprising that Maldon was the first town to be declared’notable’ by the National Trust of Australia in 1966 and that in 2006, it was awarded the ‘most intact heritage streetscape’ by the National Trust. Muckleford and Castlemaine. Castlemaine is about 120 km north west of Melbourne and Maldon is just less than 20 km past Castlemaine.
