Two fully furnished properties a short walk from Pall Mall, the Ulumbarra Theatre and more restaurants than you'll get through in a weekend. No booking platform, no middleman fees — just Helen and a phone that gets answered.
People staying in Bendigo deserve more than a room off a car park. We look after a small number of furnished properties in the CBD and rent them for short-term and long-term stays at a genuinely competitive price — a funky one bedroom apartment with its own rooftop courtyard, and a big retro heritage house that sleeps up to ten.
Every property has the things that actually matter when you're away from home: a full kitchen you can cook a proper meal in, a comfortable living room with a 42″-plus television, heating and cooling, laundry facilities, and crisp linen and towels already on the beds. Complimentary Wi-Fi is live from the moment you walk in — you'll never be asked to pay for internet.
Honestly? You'll find more facilities here than in most luxury hotels or motels.
One is a sleek bolthole for a couple or a solo working week. The other is a rambling heritage house built for a crowd. Both are in the Bendigo CBD, and both are looked after by the same small team.
Sleeps 2
The original maids' quarters for the Cobb & Co House, transformed beyond recognition. A private courtyard sits on top of the city, looking out over the roof of the Bendigo Bank. Executive-standard, self-contained, and a lock-up garage for your car.
Sleeps up to 10
A very large heritage house with a retro streak — comfortable, fun, and big enough for ten with space to spare. Four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a full kitchen, a proper dining and lounge area, and an outdoor space with the BBQ going.
Every booking platform takes a cut, and that cut has to come from somewhere. When you book with us directly, the money stays between you and the people who make the beds — which means we can be flexible in ways a platform simply isn't built for.

We send you everything you need to let yourself in, park the car and find the good coffee.
Beds made, towels out, Wi-Fi already on, milk in the fridge. Put the kettle on.
High-speed internet from the moment you walk in the door, at no charge. No vouchers, no daily caps, no signing up to anything.
Oven, cooktop, fridge and the equipment to actually use them. Cook a real dinner and save a fortune on eating out.
Beds made before you arrive and a generous supply of towels — the thing our guests mention more than anything else.
Bendigo does a proper winter and a proper summer. Both are handled, in every room you'll spend time in.
Washing machine and dryer on site, with an ironing board. Worth its weight if you're here for a fortnight or a festival.
Comfortably decorated living rooms with 42″-plus screens — for the nights when the plan is simply not going out.
Shops, restaurants, facilities and sights are at the doorstep of both properties — there's no need to spend your weekend travelling to the thing you came to see.

“Stayed at Cobb & Co House in Short Street Bendigo. Great place to stay, close to everything in Bendigo and landlords were incredibly helpful. Supplied milk, juice, tea coffee, muesli, everything to get started. Place was clean and comfortable, heating and cooling etc. Recommend it to anyone who wants to stay in Bendigo.”
“After struggling to find suitable and affordable accommodation in Bendigo for me and 10 friends/cast mates who were in town to perform in a stage musical … beautifully decked out, more comfortable than a 5-star luxury hotel, clean, and close to every amenity imaginable. I will definitely book my next Bendigo stay through BHA. Thank you Helen and the team!!!”
“Recently stayed in Rowan St. It was a family group for a wedding. The accommodation was clean and spacious, enough room for a large group such as ours. Helen was very helpful with the finer details. Very close to centre of Bendigo, about 5-7 mins, so cars stayed in lock up garage at back of house.”
