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.

Host profile image
Having been an extensive traveler, with endless curiosity about places and people, has informed my host experience and made it such a joy to introduce guests to the Bendigo region and what is on offer.

Why they chose this property

The Old Store on Barnard is simply like no other in Bendigo.
It's authentic spaciousness, which is truly a place for large groups, will create an inclusive experience that can have you imagining a bygone era whilst enjoying all the benefits of modern day conveniences.

What makes this property unique

Being able to touch and see the original flooring and exposed brick walls, to light a fire and see how the flames dance off the paneled walls, this is what it means to stay in a property etched with history.
There are quirks to discover in almost every room and you will love the exploration of the unusual floor plan that has you staying connected yet with personal space.
Don't wonder any longer, come, stay local with us!
