Okay, it happens to be in Bendigo, but Bendigo, despite being a regional centre, still has a very country town feel to it, and this pub is a case in point. Look, it wasn't too bad, though the beer selection was a little limited. The service was okay, but the pub was actually quite nice, even though it tended to be more modern than the ones that I tend to prefer.

She then proceeded to tell me about the photos on the wall which showed the pub how it looked in the past, and also told me that there used to be a lady's lounge (at which point one of the old guys blurted out that ladies don't come to the pub anymore). There was a beer garden out the back, but it seemed to be more like a back garden with some tables thrown around, not that it was bad per se, it was just a lot more homely. There is also a room with a pool table as well as a restaurant.

However, it was quite comfortable, and the service was pretty good, including not just looking after by bags, but moving them into the room afterwards as well. Oh, and the other pretty cool thing is that it is next to a pub. Not one of the best, but close enough nonetheless. Mind you, the pool isn't really one for doing laps in though.

The rooms are tiny (you need to breathe in to get between the bed and the window) - and even though the architects have done their best with quirky art features, it still feels small and plastic and cheap.

Okay, well, it isn't quite all that close to the city centre, but then again that is probably what makes this place just as good because as it turns out, it is one of those hidden gems that can be very easily missed if one isn't looking out too hard. Oh, and the service was pretty good as well.

Yeah, it was rather nice, though not surprisingly it was also quite small. The idea was to represent the major deities in the Chinese mythology, though there is one that is of particular importance, namely because it is the deities that travellers tended to pay homage too, which shouldn't surprise one when we consider that this is a temple in a foreign land.
