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

Fabulous Bendigo Getaway
We cannot speak highly enough of our recent stay at Retreat on Booth. Our host Fiona went out of her way to make us feel welcome and was very helpful with restaurant recommendations and parking availability. Spotlessly clean, with everything you could need whether a couple or family this cottage has it. Only five minutes from centre of city it offers a quiet position yet close enough to all amenities. We would highly recommend this accommodation.
