In 2007 the Castlemaine Scout Hall (c 1908) was relocated to Harcourt to be converted into this stylish B&B. Its open-plan interior has high ceilings, gleaming floorboards, a wood-fire heater and a stage that's now a TV lounge with bean bags. Other features are the mezzanine loft, the modern kitchen (with supplied breakfast provisions) and the deck.
