Cosy Couples Retreat With A Storied Past…

Tucked away behind century-old brickwork in the heart of historic Elmore, Butcher Baker 1888 is a meticulously restored retreat that blends the charm of the past with luxury comforts. Originally built during Victoria’s gold rush in the late 1880s, this one-bedroom haven offers an intimate escape featuring a modern bathroom, underfloor heating, and eco-friendly bath products. Owner and host Dorinda has thoughtfully curated the space with antiques and vintage curiosities she’s collected over the years, creating an ambiance that transports guests to a bygone era.

The home features original apothecary bottles, mortar & pestles, and historic photos that whisper tales of its rich history as a Chemist’s shopfront and community hub. Butcher Baker 1888 stands as a creative and inspirational space, inviting guests to delve into Elmore’s past, exploring its charming streets, Elmore Vintage Emporium, or simply enjoying leisurely walks along the serene Campaspe River.
