Buda Castlemaine

Buda is an authentic goldfields villa house and garden located in Castlemaine, Central Victoria.

Named after Budapest by its Hungarian owner, Ernest Leviny, it was home to the creative Leviny family for 118 years, and houses their significant intact collection of furniture, art works and personal belongings.

Come to Buda and enjoy walking through the historic house where you will be transported to another era, in this Museums Australia-accredited museum. Wander three acres of heritage garden featuring original plantings and structures, including the bird aviary, tennis pavilion and grape pergola, along with many original garden ornaments created by the Leviny family members.

Large bus and tour groups are welcome to have a guided tour most days of the year. Pre-booking essential.

We also have venue hire. Buda is available for events and functions every day of the year (excluding Christmas and Good Friday).
Overlooking the stunning Buda heritage garden, the purpose built Garden Room venue is a comfortable medium-sized room in keeping with the heritage house, which is fully equipped and suitable for many occasions including weddings, birthdays, family gatherings, anniversaries, Christmas celebrations, conferences, seminars and workshops, concerts or other special events.
