The home is very well appointed- garden is lovely too. Great location. We had a very comfortable stay - every thing was clean, worked properly and had instructions where necessary- perfect thank you
Very central to Bendigo CBD - easy parking - spacious and very comfortable home - would certainly recommend and will definitely stay again when next in Bendigo
The home was very well presented with all comforts. The rooms were suitable for 2 or more couples and the living areas were flexible. Cath was extremely helpful when contacted for any of our needs. We have recommended this place as very suitable for visiting the Bendigo region.
Right from when we arrived, we felt welcome and comfortable. Everything about this property is lovely. There are several living spaces, which is great for a family. Our dog was safe exploring the courtyards.
A great property for a large family, the air conditioner was also put on for our arrival. 2 seperate lounges gave us space to spread out. Our dogs were well catered for with a fully enclosed backyard, even dog bowls left for them.
Very comfortable home away from home and convenient location
The house is very well presented and equipped with lots of creature comforts. The hosts were very welcoming and easy to communicate icste with. Location is very central and convenient. Would def recommend.
We had a great stay in Bendigo and enjoyed the amenity of the Irishtown cottage.
Very clean, well maintained and very pleased with the welcome gifts supplied. It’s location is perfect for a stay in Bendigo and access to the Lake and CBD is very easy and convenient
Loved the house and location . Six 60 plus ladies stayed and enjoyed all the amenities. Great set up and so many extras included… toiletries, tea towels, toilet paper, firewood etc. cosy and warm. Couldn’t fault it. Happy to stay again.
WE all loved the house, could not fault anything, the Bubbles, Cheese, Quince Paste, Bikkies, Port and Chocolates were such a surprise. The location was perfect.
Thank you so very much
Overall happy with our stay. Location good, amenities ok. Children disappointed table tennis & bicycles in shed not usable. Felt that property could perhaps do with a very good spring clean. 😉
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.
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
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.
This is the second time my friends and I have stayed in Irishtown. Would recommend it to anyone. The house was clean, plenty of room for 5 ladies to be comfortable. being short opening the gate was a challenge!! Thanks once again
Great stay! The 4-bedroom cottage was clean, spacious, and very comfortable, with everything we needed. Perfect for a family or group, and the hosts were easy to deal with. Would happily stay again and highly recommend.
The cottage was clean, beautifully furnished, a fully functional kitchen, close to a number of dining options. The perfect combo for a relaxing country getaway. We enjoyed the town's charm, the antique store and having breakfast while watching the ducks on the lake. We would definitely consider going there again.
