The hotel is located across the road from the lovely Lake Weeroona which is a nice place to walk. The staff were friendly and welcoming and our room was spacious and very clean. The pool was a welcome sight when we arrived after a long drive on a very hot day. The room was good value for money.

The Motel was amazing, so well maintained and presented. I was away with work and wanted to stay closer to where I was working in Echuca, however I wasn't able to get accommodation on short notice. I'm so glad I had to drive back to Bendigo and was able to experience such a great place. Many Thanks

Room no. 7 was so clean and well presented, along with a very comfortable bed. We attended a wedding at one of the wineries heading out of Bendigo and only spent the time in bed at the room. It would have been lovely to have had a late checkout so we did not have to rush so much. The only problem that we encountered was the door would not lock properly, it kept coming open. It was attended to by the lady at reception. She locked the door and put the chain in place and asked us to enter at the end of the evening by the sliding door near the swimming pool.

Lovely stay in Bendigo
Had a lovely overnight stay at Julie-Anna. Location opposite the lake and Boardwalk Cafe was great. On the main road but super quiet as the rooms face onto an inner courtyard with lovely gardens and pool. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Rooms could do with a little update but very clean and comfortable with large comfy king size bed. Would stay there again most definitely.
