Discover something new at Buda Historic Home and Garden in Castlemaine. There is something for the imaginative explorers of any age who want to experience time travel to a family home in Castlemaine more than 100 years ago.
No matter your age or interest, whether you are young, a history buff, a gardener or an Arts and Crafts Movement enthusiast, Buda has so much to offer.
The young (and young-at-heart) can download Buda’s Treasure Hunt App and search the magic secret-garden paths and hiding places.
The house reminds visitors how hard we worked to keep life going both in the house and in the garden without all the mod- cons we have now to help us. You can see the laundry with the mangle and the copper for the washing, beautiful textiles and the original clothes the women of the house wore, the gorgeous colourful enamel work and woodcarving the Leviny women made and the Hungarian designs on the folk-art painted stool and embroidered cushions.
Guests interested in the Arts and Crafts era of the 1890s to 1920s will find a treasure trove of fascinating examples of the style to discover
Buda is well worth a return visit as the displays and garden are ever changing. Buda can also tempt you with local plants from their nursery and a vibrant little shop full of unique local arts and crafts, beautiful cards and garden paraphernalia.
Visitors are welcome at Buda seven days a week from 12 – 4pm without booking. Come and explore this unique gem of the Goldfields in beautiful Castlemaine.
