Pay for what you will use; About our pricing structure.

We charge a base rate for two people per bedroom. This approach allows us to offer more affordable accommodations to solo travelers or couples who only require one bedroom but still desire the experience of renting an entire house.

The use of each additional bedroom incurs an extra $60 fee to cover additional costs for cleaning, utilities, supplies etc. Our pricing structure ensures that guests only pay for the amenities they require and desire.

Access will only be provided to rooms that are booked. If our cleaners find that unpaid beds were used, an extra cleaning fee will be incurred.
Please choose the correct number of guests when checking availability/pricing and please let us know if you require individual beds.

Fantastic Stay
We had a fantastic stay here. House is perfect for a family with teenagers, like us, as multiple bedrooms provided individual breakout space. Alternatively, could see the house would work for two families or multi-generation family traveling together. Place was clean, fresh and homely. Centrally located, the space met all our need for our stay in Bendigo.

Close to town. On a roundabout so fairly noisey through the day and night, especially when a big truck drove by or someone with no exhaust… We stayed in the winter and was SO cold. There were heaters but circuit breakers kept tripping. Barbecue looks around 20 years old and not in great shape. Upsides were close to town. Huge great garden for kids and dogs. Lots of comfortable beds. Entertainment was really good. Living room tv connected to everything. Super simple access through electronic lock. Very handy, no keys, just a simple code to remember.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Dilapidated, dirty, depressing. We left as soon as possible.
Not a pleasant location. Situated on a busy roundabout. The front garden looked neglected, with broken front gates that couldn’t be closed and missing fence pickets. There were plants growing out of the porch and the outdoor furniture was poor. It felt very unwelcoming with no little touches, especially considering it was Christmas. The backyard was unusable, with knee high grass. There were fire pit coals poured onto a gravel portion of the yard and the concrete was littered with old dog leads and broken toys, which I had to clean up. It was not dog friendly. The property had not been maintained well. There was an overwhelming smell of rising damp and it could do with a thorough clean. The kitchen bench and cupboards were sticky. The range hood and oven had not been cleaned for months, covered with caked on grease and residue. The pantry items consisted of an old bag of sugar and some wasabi satchels. We could not eat here. The overall furniture and styling was poor. It looked as though no effort or thought was given to creating a stylish holiday home that you would want to experience. The bedding was not inviting, with mismatched linen that looked as though it had been just thrown together quickly. The bed was not comfortable. We could not wait to leave. This property is not fit for purpose. We left early after obtaining other accommodation in Bendigo, which was a direct contrast to this property. Worst home I've ever been in.

Quarry Hill Nugget
A lovely home that had comfortable beds, good facilities, was warm and had a safe and large backyard for our 2 dogs. Its location meant it was a short drive in to the city centre, to tourist attractions or a 2 minute walk to the Queen’s Arms Hotel for dinner and a drink. Would definitely stay there again.

Fantastic house to stay with pets
Terrific little house, with everything you need (lots of extra touches to make it feel very home like). We stayed with our two dogs and were very comfortable. It is a short walk to down (half an hr walk). We have stayed in other pet friendly houses in Bendigo and this one is by far the best.

3 week stay
Nicely decorated old house with some rustic components. It was not very clean when we got there, the fridge needed cleaning (milk residue in door compartments, food smears throughout shelves and freezer), 1 bed had dog hair in it, other 2 beds smelled of sweat and perfume. Cobwebs in most corners and thick dust in most places. Dog poop in garden. Owner offered a cleaner the next day, but we had already spent hours cleaning. The house is on a roundabout intersecting 2 main roads that have heavy trucks using it from early in the morning. Two bedrooms at front of house, 1 at back. Beds are comfy. Netflix available. Nicely furnished house. Lots of inside plants. Lots of parking.

A perfect house forvys
A great house with a fully equipped kitchen which meant we had options for catering during our stay… but so close to town which meant we had the best of both worlds! A lovely home away from home where our little dog was secure and our kids comfortable. Communication with the owner has been delightful, timely, helpful and caring. We will be back!!
