Stay Social

Stay Social was founded in 2014 by Chris and Karen Corr, driven by a vision to create a unique, eco-friendly accommodation experience in Bendigo. Our guesthouse reimagines traditional hospitality through sustainable practices, combining private and shared spaces designed for comfort and community. With backgrounds in civil engineering, sustainability, and social entrepreneurship, we transformed a standard family home into a 7-bedroom property catering to families, business groups, and eco-conscious travelers. Our commitment to environmental stewardship is evident in features like solar panels, rainwater tanks, and upcycled furnishings. Recognized with awards including the Bendigo Sustainability Award and Booking.com Customer Excellence Award, we prioritize accessibility, offering DDA-compliant facilities.

Our location in central Bendigo provides easy access to local attractions while maintaining a tranquil atmosphere. We actively engage with the community through initiatives like the Bendigo Blues n Roots Festival and Bike Bendigo. Guests enjoy amenities such as a lockable bike shed, veggie gardens, and complimentary bicycles. Our innovative heat recovery system and individually controlled ceiling fans ensure year-round comfort. As social entrepreneurs, we strive to create spaces that foster connections while minimizing environmental impact.
