This place turned out to be rather nice, though it was a bit of a walk from the railway station…read more Well, I probably shouldn't be too harsh considering that it did happen to be closer than some of the other places that I have happened to have visited. 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.

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.

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. That said, it was cheap - at $110 a night inc breakfast it was really good value - and the staff were super friendly and efficient. I would stay there again in Bendigo.

While not necessarily out of the way (the Bendigo tram stops at the front door, but it only goes…read morepast on an hourly basis) it did take a while for me to walk here from the last pub I visited, and it must have shown because the barmaid asked me if I had been walking for a bit. 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.

Anyway, it wasn't too bad, and like a lot of country pubs the tap beer was fairly standard, meaning that their really wasn't anything crafty. Service was okay, but it did have a nice beer garden so there was that. Yeah, I guess this pub was okay.

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.
