Nice house, unsuitable for mature guests.
Great weekend in Bendigo, but unfortunately the house was not very suitable for mature guests, with too many step downs.

Great place to stay!
We stayed at Steve's place for a girls weekend. The house had ample accommodation with comfy bed, fresh linen and good heating for those cold Bendigo nights. The electric log fireplace in the lounge area was a nice ambient touch. Great sized kitchen with a lovely view from the window. The bathrooms were clean and well presented. Absolutely awesome location within walking distance to the City Centre. I would defininately recommend this accommodation for your stay in Bendigo.

The house description does not mention 2 of the bedrooms are down stairs (a narrow steep staircase) which would be unsuitable for some people. It has an outstanding ramp but that is outside in the rain.

Perfect house for 5 ladies for weekend away
We had such a lovely stay at this beautiful 3-bedroom house in Bendigo. The home was spotless, stylish, and incredibly comfortable—everything we could have hoped for and more. The beds were super comfy with gorgeous linen, and every room had a warm, welcoming feel.The house had everything we needed for a relaxing stay, and its location was perfect—just a short trip to the town centre, close to pubs, shops, and local attractions.A big thank you to Steve for the great communication throughout—friendly, helpful, and easy to deal with from start to finish. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a peaceful, well-equipped home base in Bendigo. We'd definitely love to come back!

Steve was great and the property was perfect for our needs. Only issue was that the sofa bed really isn't suitable for 2 adults but Steve came up with some mattress solutions. He was also great with local recommendations.
