In 1853, gold was discovered at Maldon and within a few years there were 20,000 miners and 70 pubs in town. One of these was 'The Eaglehawk Hotel'. A fire destroyed the timber hotel in the late 1800's and a new hotel was rebuilt in Edwardian splendour in 1906. Today, this historic hotel can be yours. Built in 1906 it retains original features including the Front Bar, Gardens and Dining Hall. We offer a self catering venue large enough for 30 plus banquet style or 100 plus cocktail style as well as several other entertainment spaces and 5 bedrooms accommodating up to 16. Please contact us for a quote to host your function at the Eaglehawk Country House Hotel - Maldon. The prices shown are for Holiday rental accommodation. An additional fee applies for hosting events.

The Eaglehawk Country House Hotel is Australia's finest self catering hotel. When you book The Eaglehawk, you get exclusive use of the whole hotel, including the gardens. It is important to note that hosting a function (wedding, function, event, conference, celebration etc) where people who are not registered guests sleeping at the hotel attend the function, then a function fee is payable.

Maldon is Australia's first notable town and is only a seventy minute drive from Melbourne. Maldon makes an ideal base to explore all the central Victorian Goldfields region has to offer. Take a trip down memory lane through the tree lined back streets of Maldon; catch a steam train ride to Castlemaine; tour the goldmine; potter through antiques and collectables stores or simply stroll past grand old buildings - all this (and much more) is on offer within walking distance of the Eaglehawk Hotel. Come and see for yourself why Maldon was awarded the most intact heritage streetscape by the National Trust in 2006. Treat yourself to the experience of what life was like during the gold rush era! Our central location offers the opportunity to visit many nearby wineries, see historic Castlemaine (15 mins drive) or tour Bendigo which is an outstanding example of a 19th century gold rush city (30 mins). Maryborough is also only a short drive away. Daylesford and Hepburn Springs make perfect destinations for a day trip. Nearby, Cairn Curran Reservoir provides a wide range of water based recreational activities, these include boating (power and sail), skiing, fishing & windsurfing.
