Was impressed by this centrally located property that had oodles of room and historic charm. We enjoyed using it as a base for the weekend and made it our home away from home.
Perfect house for our family to catch up and spend some time in Bendigo. Well stocked kitchen, very clean and tidy a and lovely decor. Will stay again in the future.
This house was beautiful - I loved the charm, the ease of check in and Cath was so accommodating even calling us to check in about bed configuration before we arrived! It had everything we needed from a functionality point of view, clear instructions about how to use appliances and some great special touches! We would stay again in a heartbeat.
We had an amazing stay in this lovely family home. Space for everyone, everything we needed and more. Great holiday stay location. We hope to co.e back as a family again. Super clean and well stocked, this is an amazing place. So grateful to have stayed there.
We loved our stay! The house was nice and big, beautifully decorated and equipped with everything we needed. The outdoor area was great, every room had a fan or aircon so we were super comfortable despite the hot weather. Would highly recommend
What a great place to stay. Enjoyed it as much as last year and already looking forward to next year. Great location. Just love this place! Thanks Cath.
The property is a very unique property with the history dating back to 1870s, it was interesting to read the history. The property was well presented with everything we needed provided, including some very nice treats. The wood fire gave the house a nice homely feeling.
We had a wonderful stay. The property was wonderful mix of the very old to the new. Beds were very comfortable and kitchen well set up.
We had walks to town with the dogs. Whom loved a new garden to sniff around.
Very comfortable for this unique historical building, great wood fire giving wonderful ambiance, all the rooms warm & inviting. Loved the port and chocolates. Thanks Cath, you were great. Walking distance to town ~ Bendigo has heaps to offer.
There were 8 adults staying. Plenty of room with two living areas and a dining table for 8 people. The house was clean. Plenty of parking. Very close to the main road and shops, so very accessible. The owners made themselves available for queries.

What makes this property unique
Being able to touch and see the original flooring and exposed brick walls, to light a fire and see how the flames dance off the paneled walls, this is what it means to stay in a property etched with history. There are quirks to discover in almost every room and you will love the exploration of the unusual floor plan that has you staying connected yet with personal space. Don't wonder any longer, come, stay local with us!
