Where to stay in Strathfieldsaye
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
Nine kilometres changes the calculation. Strathfieldsaye sits far enough south-east of the Bendigo CBD that a visitor staying here commits to driving, and in exchange gets the quieter outer edge of the City of Greater Bendigo rather than a street of hotels. Bendigo keeps the beds.
Most people book in the city and treat Strathfieldsaye as somewhere to drive out to, which reverses only if the reason for the trip lies out this way.
