Escape to Maldon

Driving into Maldon, I was instantly blown by how unique and hidden the little town was! An architects delight, all the buildings were kept in amazing condition since the gold rush period! Sunday House did not disappoint! Upon walking inside to hear the prepared crackling of the fire and the soft jazz, we knew we were in good hands!

The property had all these amazing little gems like a wood fire pizza oven, an old cubby house, basketball rings and an indoor pool table by the raging fire! The group were all coming to Maldon with the expectation to see, explore and feel fulfilled, and when Sunday rolled around, we all knew that we nailed the weekend.

          Upon entering Maldon you are greeted by these two massive barges sitting dead in the water, all rusted. We checked them out and climbed to the top, worth a visit!...
