The little things matter

Finally!!! It was so nice to stay somewhere that actually focused on the little things. There was more than enough cutlery, plates and glasses. Basic but sufficient condiments in the kitchen. The consideration for younger guests was outstanding from toys in the kids room, plastic plates and glasses to even bath toys. My only suggestion would be to have a pillow selection for those who prefer higher/firmer pillows.

Ideal Stay: Clean, Comfortable, and Welcoming

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our recent stay was nothing short of fantastic! This charming two-bedroom home surpassed all expectations. Lovely and clean and cozy atmosphere. The hosts went above and beyond to ensure a fabulous stay. Their hospitality was exceptional, making us feel right at home from the start. It's evident that they take great pride in maintaining their property and providing top-notch service to guests. The location was ideal, offering a peaceful retreat while still being close to basketball stadium. I highly recommend it to anyone who are looking for a place to stay in Bendigo.

Lovely house!

We were delighted with the house - very clean and had everything we needed for a two night stay in Bendigo. Just a short 5 minute drive to the centre of town and very close to the local supermarket. We stayed with two young children and they loved the cupboard of toys in the kids room! Thanks very much :) Gillian & family
