The Home

A home built
for slow stays.

"Settle in, relax, enjoy."

Zalm is a thoughtfully restored Victorian cottage on a quiet street in North Bendigo, 200m from our local pub and cafe, and an easy walk to nearby Lake Weeroona.

Three queen bedrooms, two beautiful bathrooms, and an open-plan living, kitchen and dining that spills out to a generous undercover deck and outdoor kitchen, and beyond, the garden. Beds turned down, lamps lit, all the small things taken care of for you to settle in for a relaxing stay.

Self check-in via key safe, with central air conditioning and EV charging. Pets welcome. Our team are always a quiet message away if there's anything you need.

The pantry is stocked with locals: Barfold olive oil from a small grove twenty minutes south, Collins honey from Bendigo Ironbark, jams from Bendigo Fine Foods. The candle on the mantle is from our collab with Poppy Rae, the scent of the front room.
