Located a mere five minute’s drive from the centre of Bendigo, yet on a pretty, tree-lined street lined with period homes, Retreat on Booth is the perfect self-contained accommodation for couples and families looking to experience all that Bendigo has to offer.
The Space
Built in 2012, Retreat on Booth is a free-standing, secure house with two full-sized bedrooms, the master with a queen sized bed and the second bedroom with two single beds. The bathroom is immaculate and would suit a family perfectly, being spacious and having separate shower and bathtub. The living space has a fully equipped kitchen, with gas burners, oven, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, kettle, and coffee pod machine, as well as everything else you’d expect to find in a regular household kitchen. The kitchen opens up onto a dining table and lounge with two double couches, flat screen television with Apple TV (free wifi is included). Those staying more than a couple of nights will appreciate the laundry, and the secure car space with roller door making getting two and from town a breeze.

If you enjoy bicycling, the house is close to the Bendigo Bike Trail, which can take you to the city and beyond.
