Everything that we needed + more, great location

The house was large, clean, lovely with everything that we needed + unexpected extras, I would recommend for a getaway location. 1 bedroom separate to main house, within an easy walk to the centre of town.

Beautifully appointed, clean, excellent proximity

We were welcomed by a lovely heated house. Nothing was missing. There were dog bowls and the whole property was secure ,a spot safe for our dogs in the ample backyard and courtyard.All of the bedrooms had a heater and electric blankets. There was safe off street parking. We enjoyed a wood fire at night that was ready just to strike a match when we came home. A nice touch was the port and chokkys. We walked across the road the first night for a beautiful pizza, and there was a pub nearby that we will go to when we come back next year !

Irishtown- excellent accomodation

A great property for a large family, the air conditioner was also put on for our arrival. 2 seperate lounges gave us space to spread out. Our dogs were well catered for with a fully enclosed backyard, even dog bowls left for them.

Excellent Location & very pet orientated!

This is an excellent property for either a couple or family or group of friends with multiple good sized bedrooms and facilities. Excellent positioning with a 10 minute walk / 2 minute drive to the centre of the city and also with a lovely restaurant and other food options also within 5 minute walk. Excellent fenced and very safe yard fo your dogs and the house itself is very, very comfortable and well set up with every requirement you may have covered including heating, music, multiple family areas and TVs and excellent range of utensils and pantry items. The owner is very friendly and polite and extremely easy to communicate with and gets back to you very quickly and went out of her way to make us feel welcome and wanted, especially with the welcome gifts which were a lovely touch and very much appreciated. This was the best "Stayz" property we have stayed in for a number of reasons and I would thoroughly recommend this property to anyone going to Bendigo and we look forward to reusing it in the future.

Irishtown Cottage

This was our 3rd and hopefully not our last stay at Irishtown Cottage. The property is very well appointed and comfortable. It is well located for a walk 'into town' or the other way to Lake Weeroona (and for us, the Bendigo Regional Tennis Centre). One thing we'd highly recommend is a visit to the Garden of the future at White Hills and a meal or a coffee at Omari Cafe in the grounds; we did that twice. We had an excellent meal with friends at the Windermere Hotel in Kangaroo Flat too. 5 stars, 10 out of 10 and 3 hats to Irishtown Cottage - take your pick!😀 Geoff and Eileen
