WHAT makes The Gold Mines Hotel truly special is its rare ability to connect the past with the present in a way that feels effortless and authentic.

Built in 1872, the hotel is one of Bendigo’s most iconic heritage buildings, nestled just minutes from the historic goldfields.

Its grand bluestone architecture, original structure, and expansive gardens transport guests to a different era — yet every detail of the experience is designed for contemporary comfort and connection.

What sets us apart is not just the building, but what happens inside it: We serve modern Australian cuisine using local, seasonal ingredients, sourced from Victoria’s finest producers.

Whether you’re enjoying a lamb backstrap in the dining room next to the open fireplace or sharing a drink under the 100-year-old peppercorn tree in our garden, every moment here is steeped in atmosphere and hospitality.

We’re not just a venue — we’re a living piece of Bendigo’s story. It’s a place where people come to celebrate milestones, reconnect with friends, or discover something new in something old.

That’s what makes The Gold Mines Hotel special: It’s heritage with heart. A place where timeless charm meets exceptional food and genuine, traditional hospitality and table service.
