THE GOLD MINES HOTEL
Welcome to the Gold Mines Hotel, a historic gem in Bendigo that dates back to 1861! Initially established to serve the Ironbark community, our beloved hotel and restaurant faced challenges, including a devastating fire. However, thanks to the vision of David Chaplin Sterry, our current charming double-storey stucco brick building rose from the ashes, completing its transformation in 1872.
A special piece of our history is Amy’s Great- Grandmother, Mary Jane Russell, who made her mark as the only licensee to run the hotel outside the Sterry family from 1910 to 1918. Today, we are thrilled to carry on that legacy. Since July 2024, we have been proud custodians of the Gold Mines Hotel, inspired by the future that lies ahead.
As a local family, we are dedicated to crafting a warm and inviting environment where you can enjoy exceptional food, beverages, and service. The support we’ve received from our amazing local community has been overwhelming, and we are sincerely grateful for it. The Gold Mines Hotel truly thrives thanks to the talented and committed individuals who continue to lend their expertise and supply us with delightful goods.
