The Mill Castlemaine (whole site - multiple businesses)

Highlight of my visit to Castlemaine. Shops and foods set up nicely in a former woolen factory: the Vintage bazaar, Das Kaffeehouse.

Large selection of vintage goods. Prices vary but are mostly reasonable. Staff are very helpful and friendly

Brought a shirt to the counter with 2 prices. $25 on one tag and $4 on the other. Manager was called and rather abruptly told me that the unbranded $4 tag is ‘obviously ‘ from an op shop. 2 issues here. 1. Terrible customer service, I think sorry was the word that skipped her mind. 2. As someone who has owned a 2nd hand clothing store that mark up is way too high. Caught out peeps! Also selling basic used converse for $65 which go for $10-15 in op shops.

The highlight of our trip to Castlemaine! The vintage selection of clothes and homewares was excellent and the prices vary so you can find something to suit your budget. I scored a pair of 1980s sunnies for $18 that are $200 elsewhere online. Yay! Lots of quirky pieces too. The food and drink options are fab. We loved the Minim wine tasting and took home three bottles

The sprout bakery has this seeded bread that blew my mind and I didn't want to eat anything else for the rest of the day.

Makes for a fun day away from the city, so many cool reclaimed artifacts, fun place to spend the day - great German cafe round the back & a local brewery/ pub. The botanical gardens are right across the road would visit again!

Crazy interesting collection of mini shops, restaurants and a micro brewery. Something for everyone. Free table tennis table too!

Funky place to visit. Shops have a plethora of stuff for sale - modern, collectable and classic.

Really enjoyed our coffee and cake at the Mill restaurant, lovely atmosphere and friendly, helpful staff.

Great place to find a variety of things. Good quality stuff. You don't feel pressured to buy.

Wow. As collectors of retro and vintage this has to be the most impressive market we’ve seen so far. Great atmosphere with musics and friendly staff and literally thousands of items to wade through. Good coffee and amenities. Happy we spent some money there and can’t wait to go back again.

Very large warehouse that used to be a factory, but is now converted into a market that sells second hand items. Many interesting retro items, particularly if you are into collecting particular things. Will definitely come back if we are looking for something special in a renovation or move to an older style house.

The Austrian cafe in the same complex was really good as well.

Great stalls not too much "junk" that a lot of theses markets end up with something for everyone very friendly staff layout a bit all over the place in a square space so hard to methodically look at everything i had to visit twice in one weekend

Lots here, good ice cream, not much shade outside if it is hot and the German kaffee haus is crazy busy. Large park/botanical gardens directly over the road, parking is easy. Kids found plenty to keep them occupied

A recent addition to Castlemaine. The Mill sells vintage and retro clothes, toys, shoes, books and more.

Massive venue filled with a major assortment of wonderful vintage collectables. Spent waaay to long here!

Some stalls a little on the add 'vintage' to the label and charge four times as much. But, some great finds and some beautiful, actually vintage pieces to be found. Worth the trip if you're out that way

Castlemaine Bazaar for all your retro & vintage hearts desires; craft brewery to wet the whistle, galeries & chic cafe/restaurant such a Gem!
