Marong is a township that is part of the City of Greater Bendigo and 17 kilometres (15-minute drive) west of Bendigo City Centre. While the population is small (Census 2016 – 1,146), it is fast growing and developing into a great suburb that is ready to boom.
The town has a long history of farming and outside of new housing developments, is surrounded by rural properties, which are either working farms or lifestyle properties, contributing to the laid-back lifestyle and fresh air. The great thing about Marong is you will be away from the madding crowds and never battle for parking.
The Marong Family Hotel is on your door step, with entertainment, a great atmosphere and spectacular menu that caters for all budgets and tastes.
