A remnant of the lucrative Victoria Hills goldfields, this grand heritage hotel (1857) just west of central Bendigo has been taken over by the folk from Source Dining. There's a similar focus on local-produce-driven fine dining, but here it sits alongside well-prepared takes on pub classics. Enjoy your meal in the tastefully decorated indoor space or the famous, leafy beer garden.
The hotel's cellar is set to open as a bar in the future.
