Discover The Enchantment of Maldon
“Experience the seasons, relax into the pace of a small country town, and nourish the soul and body.”
Maldon is a charming historic town where time seems to have stood still - stories of the goldrush, intact streetscapes and historic buildings full of character, but now with an added pinch of the arts, fine accommodation and niche retail experiences.
It’s east to get out into nature, with almost endless cycling and walking trails through the surrounding Historic Reserve and scenic sunset spots withing easy reach. The birdlife and wildflowers are something special and you can find remnants of the workings of the 1800’s goldrush.
A Weekend in Maldon
