THE GOLD MINES HOTEL

Amy and all the staff were fantastic. So accommodating and the food was delicious. We will definitely be back

We've just celebrated a family wedding at this venue, and the wonderful Amy and the Goldmines team, were AMAZING! Nothing was too much trouble and the support to make this a successful event was unending. Fabulous food, brilliant service and a beautiful garden setting made this just so very special 💝 Thank you all so very much!

Came here for an outdoor wedding - beautiful surroundings, extremely helpful and friendly staff. Great place to hire for an event.

We chose to have our wedding here in March 2025. Amy and her team have been professional, thoughtful and excellent hosts. We live overseas and the communication has been simple and easy. Guests have reported that the food was plentiful and delicious - particularly the hot chips! Reassuring hands for the big day - we would thoroughly recommend for anyone to have a celebration here.

We had a 30th Birthday Celebration here and it was fantastic, Amy was nothing but helpful and it is lovely to see an owner being so hands on and present with a business. The night was perfect. Thank you!
Highly recommend such a beautiful venue.

Absolutely love the Goldmines. The food is superb and the service is fantastic. It’s our go to for date night. They always remember us, what we like to order and are so friendly.
Highly recommend it to locals and visitors.

Absolutely an amazing night out. The mood and lighting, the amazing food and the vibrant staff! Definitely recommend for an upclassed dinner.

Had the best experience for my 22nd. Staff were so nice and so welcoming. Best food that I’ve had for ages.

Food was amazing and very well priced. Service was excellent, friendly, polished and professional. The courtyard was very comfortable with a relaxed atmosphere. And a huge thank you for honouring the gift voucher which you were not obliged to do. Will definitely be back.

Tonight I had a wonderful dinner with my partner at The Goldmine Hotel. The garden is beautiful but some parts of it needs some tlc. The food was incredible, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We will be back.

Just come home from a wake for a close relative. The staff were wonderful. Friendly helpful and with character. I can thoroughly recommend this venue for large functions or just go for a drink or a meal. Fantastic

We had a lovely meal but the service was impeccable! Highly recommend.

We went to the Goldmines for an impromptu early Christmas lunch and took our two young children with us. We were greeted with a very friendly welcome from Amy who is the new owner/manager. We asked to sit out the back in the garden which was beautiful and really suited us. The food was delicious, staff were so attentive and knowledgeable and it was a really relaxing nice experience. We had a food voucher we purchased from the previous owners which Amy was very happy to still honour, which was very appreciated. We would highly recommend the Goldmines!

This lovely hotel has a spacious backyard with outdoor seating, surrounded by trees, flowers, and lush greenery. It was such a comfortable spot to enjoy a meal, especially with the beautiful sunny weather. The setting is also perfect for taking photos. The service was warm and welcoming, and the food was great too. A wonderful experience overall!

The food is amazing, You can not only taste but see all the hard work the kitchen puts into each and every meal. The service is also outstanding. The new owners have done wonders with the place, which can be seen through the amazing renovations done on the garden and inside areas, with live music on Sundays. The new owners have done an exceptional job! 100% recommend!!

Thank you so much Amy and the rest of the team for a lovely dinner on Saturday! The menu is varied and caters to all, everyone’s food was delicious. Great wine list and beer selection too. The courtyard area is just beautiful. We will be back, well done!

Lovely afternoon having a meal and listening to local bands play.

We had a lovely meal, the service and staff were great and the girl they had singing was fantastic

Staff, food, atmosphere was 10/10. Cloudy pacific ale beer on tap was wonderful!

Had my best friends 60th birthday here, the new owners Amy & Andy are wonderful people who bend over backwards to make sure there guests are having a great night, the staff are fantastic especially Isaac, the food was amazing and the service was top notch! The garden setting is absolutely beautiful, a credit to Andy and Amy! Highly recommended!

We had dinner in the courtyard, really nice building and restaurant, highly recommend coming here.

Customer service is exceptional and the food is amazing! Beautiful beer garden, can definitely see why it was rated in the top 10’s in Australia, would highly recommend going to Goldmines for Lunch, Dinner and even special events!

Gold Mines hotel is highly recommended. Great food and staff are amazing. Really enjoyed our night out there.

I recently dined at the Gold Mines Hotel, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The building itself is charming, with a beautiful blend of old-world decor and cozy ambiance. Old photographs of the area and paintings line the walls, while sections of the floor feature classic wood, making you feel like you're taking a step back in time. The atmosphere is warm and nostalgic, perfect for a relaxing meal.

I ordered the Gold Mine burger, which I'd rate 3/5. The burger was a bit dry due to the lack of sauce, but the smoky bacon jam really stood out. The 200g beef patty, cooked in a wood stove, was flavorful and juicy, although I would suggest asking the chef to cook it a bit longer if you prefer it less pink. The hand-sliced potato chips were spot on—crispy outside, soft inside, and perfectly seasoned. My partner had the breaded pork cutlet, which she absolutely loved. Portions were generous, and we ended up taking some food to go.

For starters, we enjoyed the lemon myrtle calamari with rocket salad, and the calamari was fresh and tender. I paired my meal with an espresso martini, which was excellent, although it was on the pricier side at $20-22.

What really stood out was the exceptional service. The staff were wonderful and very accommodating to dietary restrictions. Our waitress was especially nice, professional, and prompt with her service, making the whole experience even better.

Overall, the combination of great food, warm atmosphere, and attentive staff makes the Gold Mines Hotel a must-visit. I would definitely recommend it to family and friends, and I look forward to dining there again soon!

Perfect place to enjoy with friends on a sunny afternoon. Great food, great cocktails, great service, great atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Just got married here, firstly, the goldmines hotel has a fantastic beer garden. Certainly, the knowledge of the staff helps with the atmosphere.

The food is out of this world delicious, the steak was cooked to perfect medium rare, the cocktails were great the bridesmaids had a good sample.

All in all, the area is good space and honestly, while weddings are becoming a rarity. The goldmines hotel is truthfully, a great alternative.

The new management were very accommodating, I appreciate it a lot a great experience.

Look no further if you’re looking for an excellent lunch or dinner at a warm friendly grand old pub but offers so much more than an average schnitzel!!! Second visit was even better than the first. We had the soft shell crab (the freshest and tastiest I have ever had) and pâte with brioche (also fresh, homemade & delicious). Then we had a ribeye and a scotch fillet with a fresh salad and mash accompaniment with various mustards and sauces - melt in your mouth. Then backed that up with a chocolate tart and homemade ice-creams. Awesome meal. Gorgeous old hotel with a beautiful wisteria out the front and lovely outdoor dining out the back. Great friendly service and a new owner who has been there for 8 weeks and was there in person. Book it and go there immediately!

We had a large group I for dinner and the staff handled it with ease and grace. Beautiful food, lovely drinks selection and a wonderful experience all around.

What a beautiful country pub the food was amazing the staff so friendly and can give you great history information on the old pub , a must do when in Bendigo or just to pop in for a chat and wine at their fabulous bar , we will be back thanks fir a fabulous experience.
