If you need a laugh today, Jen Payne stayed with us on her recent visit to Bendigo and has written up a lovely and hilarious review! “The Queen Room is very clean and spacious! You could twirl around quite comfortably in most of the room and still have space for your partner to sit and stare at you with tired bemusement!” The bathroom is… huge! Plenty of space for aforementioned twirling…there are two sinks, so you don’t have to stand too close to your loved one while you have your tooth-brushing competition.” “We really enjoyed our stay at the Julie-Anna Inn and think you will too. Relaxing surrounds, friendly staff and plenty to see and do in Bendigo, Victoria.” Jen stayed in a Queen Room, ordered room service from our restaurant, and said she enjoyed our courtyard gardens and convenient parking. If you’re visiting Bendigo soon, make sure you take a read! (link in bio) #julieanna #bendigoaccommodation #visitbendigo #guestreview #bendigotourism
