Oval Motel
Very clean and comfortable room with microwave. Helpful staff and good location walkable to everything but far enough away for some quietness too. Would stay again. Good value.

BIG4 Bendigo Park Lane Holiday Park
Our stay though was amazing. Very welcoming staff on arrival and nothing too much trouble. The classic cabin was awesome and met all our needs. Spotlessly clean and close to the jumping pillow and pool. The games centre was unbelievable and the kids loved it. I just wish we could have stayed longer. ...
