Idyllic, peaceful and historical "Coath Cottage" minutes from Bendigo's CBD
We enjoyed staying in the historic property that had been restored to make it comfortable and cosy. The Bendigo West location made it easy to drive into the centre of town to the art gallery and to find a supermarket nearby

National Hotel Complex and Bendigo Central Apartments
The room was clean and tidy. All amenities were stocked. The bed was comfortable. Staff were very welcoming upon arrival and provided all required information. Air conditioner worked but not overly well. Room got a little warm at times.
