The motel was near to the city centre without being in it. You are withing walking distance to a very good hotel meal. The room was very clean and comfortable. You are able to walk around the gardens near the lake which is opposite to get the traveling aches out of your body.

The room was very good and comfortable. We were disappointed that the swimming pool was stone cold despite the signage claiming it to be solar heated and the spa was also unheated. A shade sail over the pool is a bit silly if the pool is not heated.

Comfortable rooms, bed nice, gardens well kept, directly across road to lake weerna, coffee van and the best donuts! Talking tram a short walk away. Bendigo is a big country town, and very clean. Nice couple of days. Parking at hotel is fine - unless your spot is pinched !?!? Always one who has to be a muppet !
