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.
