Old time lovely.
Everything was great, no complaints. Only brief issue was a message from Stayz re access instructions which said to push unlock icon bottom RIGHT, when it should have said LEFT, as given by the property manager Cath, when I checked her email.

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

Irishtown Cottage
Our 2nd stay at Irishtown Cottage and we had a great 4 nights stay. The property was spotless and has every amenity you could wish for; it's why we booked and why we have another visit in a few months. The communication with the owner was spot on and the awaiting 'goodies' were appreciated. 5 stars for every aspect; you can't say more! Geoff and Eileen.
