Book soon. We recommend booking as soon as you know you're coming. Bendigo has lots of events throughout the years and accomodation spots soon book up.

Coordinate with friends. A lot of the rentals have great spaces for groups, so get a house for your group to save some money (and maximize fun!).

Stay the whole weekend. We know you're super busy, but we'd love for you be able to make this trip away a little get away and get to explore other towns in Central Vic or hop down and search out thing to do in Melbourne.
