Have stayed here a number of times, the standard has always been consistent with, clean shared facilities, comfy bed, a laundry with a washing machine, great large dining room, a lounge room, with a large shared TV, well equipped kitchen. The outside court yard is always tidied and welcoming. A great place to relax.

Donna Australia

For the price this residence was fabulous. Just wish they had turned on the AirConditioner Heater into rooms as was. As a backpackers location it is perhaps the best I have seen. Well done, but please allow the heating to work through the house. Bendigo in the middlke of winter can be cold and it was. Fortunately we went to the Premiere of 'ELVIS' for our visit and the ELVIS attraction in town, so didn't need to watch TV, etc.

Greg Australia

I loved the ease of entry, location from major attractions/shops and restaurants. Everything is within walking distance and P.T isn't far if required.

Tuik Australia

great location, super clean and inviting ambience, excellent facilities

Nerida Australia

Communication was quick and provided thorough responses to all questions. The house was very clean, very pleasant set up, rooms a good size with a great heater and very comfy bed/pillows. A nice little area out the back with bench seats and a table as well as a dining area inside along with an inviting lounge. Great value for money and I would definitely return

Anne Australia

Beautiful well maintained property. Like a beautiful, well appointed B&B. Excellent security for each room Clean bathrooms. The lounge room is very inviting….like being at home! Good off street parking.

Paul Australia

Good value for money, extremely clean with many signs around for the guests to preserve the cleanliness, good facilities and the owner Michelle is kind, helpful, friendly and informative.

Tommy Australia

The room was small,so good for one person with a cute little courtyard the door was opening to. Overall, it was clean and very comfortable (bed and pillow) everything smelt good in the room.

Dee Turkey

Quiet, clean, easy walking distance for dinner, groceries. Respectful and lovely people sharing the accommodation. Would absolutely stay again and would recommend.

Kellie Australia

The location was easy to find, parking was ok on the street, bed was very comfortable and the room clean, facilities were in good working order and clean - notification via text message re codes etc was great
