Quality Hotel Lakeside
We stayed in a family room and it had great space. We enjoyed that it had a back door so the car could be parked quite close. The playground across the road was excellent so the location of the hotel was perfect with our kids

Hotel Shamrock Bendigo
Old historic property. Room very dark. Old facilities. Couldn't open a window. Lift a bit rickety. The property looks very good from the outside. Good spot in the middle of town.
