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.

About the host

Hosted by Cath Armstrong

Host profile image
Cath and Mark have been hosting for over 12 years now and still love showcasing Bendigo to visitors and locals alike!
They have a real passion for travel themselves and enjoy bringing back ideas from their own travels to continually improve on what they do.
Guests enjoyment is the paramount focus for every stay and hopefully introducing guests to another thing about Bendigo to fall in love with and bring them back time again.
Each property is set up to enhance guests feelings of welcome and relaxation with a focus on comfort and experience.

Why they chose this property

This area of Bendigo is absolutely one of the best as it is not only incredibly beautiful with mature street trees, lovely historic homes and lake Weeroona at your door step, it also has numerous great cafes and pubs as well as housing multiple iconic Bendigo visitor sites.
The Talking tram and depot, Bendigo Woollen Mills, the Chinese Joss House and Chinese museum are all a comfortable walk from the cottage, just to name a few.
You will be thrilled to experience the convenience of the location and literally walk and ride to everything if it takes your fancy or take the car to the many more sites further afield.
Bendigo has incredible history, not only from the goldfields era to modern day but for thousands of years, which you can discover via one of the newly created First Nations Tours.
Bendigo and surrounds is also the first area in Australia to be awarded the prestigious UNESCO listing for Gastronomy - there is much to explore!

What makes this property unique

Irishtown Cottage is named after the area's name from the Goldrush era, Irishtown, which stretched from St Killian's Catholic Church on McCrae Street right up to White Hills.
It is full of history and legacy including the array of historic homes still standing in the surrounding streets.
Irishtown Cottage is one of the earlier cottages built in the area and whilst it has seen numerous improvements to bring it into the comforts of the 21st century, you can still feel the presence of history etched into the walls and spaces.
Add to that it's eclectic antique pieces and you will experience a totally unique stay, full of comfort, whimsy and beauty.
