Just perfect
What a wonderful place to stay. Enough room for everyone to have their own space. They have thought of everything. Probably best place I have stayed at. Beautifully decorated the house has so much charm you just want to move in. Would be great for family or bunch of friends to stay. Lots of room, wood heater really warmed the place up quickly. Thank you hope to stay again.

Girls weekend away
Very clean and tidy house. Beds really comfy. A lovely complementary bottle of wine was enjoyed by us all. My only negative comment would be is that the 2 lounge couches need updating as they were uncomfortable.

Historic
Historic property within easy walking distance of attractions. Property was very comfortable for family. We ate out mostly, but plenty of crockery etc. for inside dining. The balcony would be great in the summer. The only drawback would be the noise from the street in the front bedroom. It was priced affordably and in very clean condition.

Reunion
Fantastic venue for our 11 person reunion. Only negative is the 2 toilets at one end of the house, however, realise that can't be helped. Everything necessary in bathrooms, kitchen and bedrooms. Even the squeeky floorboards made the old home authentic. All in all we had a wonderful catch up.

Great house for our large group
Communication with Cath was great, check in was simple. House was very nice, had everything we needed. There were even some goodies left for us which were appreciated. Only thing was the floor plan showed 2 single beds in bedroom 4, but here was a queen bed instead. (We had a group of singles) Not a great drama. Overall, great stay and highly recommend.

The Old Store on Barnard
We had a wonderful stay, very comfortable and clean. Roads were busy but you didn’t hear them inside. Communication with the manager was spot on any questions were quickly answered. Loved the idea of not having a key entry, it made it so much easier with a code. Loved the house and would definitely stay there again.

A spacious atmospheric home.
We were 4 friends having a couple of days away and to visit the gallery. The house was even better than we expected. Spacious, a bedroom each, kitchen was more than very usable, great heating so we were warm. Very close to everything we wanted, and town. We had an 11am check out which was a bonus. We will return.

Delightful & relaxing!
We had the most delightful and relaxing stay at The Old Store over the ANZAC long weekend. The place was very comfortably furnished and the many antique pieces added to the character and charm of the place - it did feel like we were stepping back in time! Very comfortable beds and lovely linen. The hosts (Cath & Mark ) attention to detail was excellent. They were also easy to communicate with and prompt to respond. We enjoyed our accommodation as much as we did exploring Bendigo. Thanks Cath & Mark.

Something Special
This is a property above and beyond normal standards which helped make the stay feel a little special. An imposing heritage building beautifully restored, comfortable and well appointed. Multiple living areas making it possible for sa house with several adults to coexist with their own spaces to enjoy. Furnishings and art showing an eye of a keen collector. And a position close to Bendigo central within easy distance of the gallery and many cafes and wine bars. Especially for the price, this is above 5 star and would not hesitate to recommend and to return.
