Elli (host) made me feel totally at home. She is a delightful host, who took a lot of trouble to make sure I had everything I could possibly have wanted. The accommodation is lovely, clean, very comfortable, & in a perfect position for popping down into the city. This has been a restful holiday, I feel very spoilt!

The house is lovely, in a quiet street, the furniture was comfortable (including the bed), the host (Elli) had provided supplies such as bread, milk, a platter of fruit/ cheese/ meats/biscuits along with the use of other condiments (if we needed) such as tea, coffee, sauces & cereals etc. Elli (the host) pops in and out for chats at times but sleeps & has her own ensuite in a separate area.

What a lovely stay, a home away from home. Ellie is a delightful host, attentive to your needs while being mindful of your space. The home is super clean, beautiful linen and bed, spacious, a full kitchen at your disposal, and close to town. Check-in was seamless as Ellie kept me informed of the key location beforehand. The complimentary cheese platter was a lovely welcome too. Overall, a lovely place to stay if you're tired of motels and want a touch of home. I would highly recommend.

A very pleasant stay!

Our family had a lovely time staying in Elli’s property during the Easter break. Ellie is a great host, very welcoming and friendly. The house is spacious, clean and tastefully decorated. We felt right at home as soon as we walked in. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay and even provides breakfast. Thank you so much Ellie for your hospitality. If we visit Bendigo we will definitely stay here again.

This was the perfect base for 3 of us to take in Central Victoria over Easter and for The Ring operas. Elli keeps a fastidious home with everything anyone could want. She left us a care package and easy instructions. The location is excellent and the property quiet, relaxing and very comfortable.

The house was quiet, spacious and spotless. The beds super comfortable. The goodies platter on the kitchen bench, the cheese platter, and the bread and milk in the fridge made us feel very welcome. Elli was very easy to deal with. I highly recommend this property. Catherine

Lovely appointed home

We only found out late in the picture that this was hosted accommodation as it’s not common for Stayz. It’s not a great fit for my mum who really just likes her own company, but Elli was a friendly host and the property lovely and warm, and beautifully appointed

A1 Hospitality

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely, immaculate home in a great location and had access to everything we could possibly need. Our host Elli was so very kind, welcoming and generous. I’m not sure what a recent reviewer was talking about when they said the door in the tv room goes into the host’s bedroom- it actually leads onto the verandah outside. Maybe some fact checking is in order before posting inaccurate information in reviews. Comfortable mattresses and pillows, quality bed linen and towels, and little treats and “extras” made this so much more than the usual home stay. Thanks again Elli, we hope to visit again!

Amazing property!

Elli met us and showed us round her gorgeous home. She had left a fantastic platter if cheese, biscuits and fruit - which we devoured for lunch sitting in the lovely garden! We were just to help our self to anything in the pantry as well. The house was immaculate and furnishings and art work was extremely tasteful and comfortable. The property is close to the city centre and the Museum and Art Gallery. We felt really comfortable and there was an lovely atmosphere in the house. The bathroom had luxury towels and there were shower robes in the wardrobes. I cannot recommend the lovely home highly enough and the effort that Elli has put in to making here guests comfortable, cosy and welcome! It's a 5 star property!

Superb and cozy location close to the city centre

Great location in a quiet suburb approx 2.5 km out of the Bendigo city center. And Elli is a very thoughtful and easy-to-communicate host. We are a family of three with a 10 months old, and after I communicated so, Elli was kind enough to even arrange a diaper bin for my little one. Elli's place has also got some great amenities, comfy beds, and a lounge, etc as well as ample space to accommodate a family of three or four. We had a great time and would recommend this place to anyone visiting Bendigo.
