Two Day Heritage Escape

Fortuna Villa is one of Bendigo’s gold rush treasures. The mining-era mansion is the original home of Bendigo’s ‘quartz king’ George Lansell and is now open for high tea and tours. Come and see the Roman baths and mini Pompeii Fountain, set in a gorgeous botanic-garden-style grounds.

No matter your faith you’ll love the Catholic Sacred Heart Cathedral, which sits high on a hill over Bendigo. Consecrated in 1907 but not completed until 1977, it’s one of Australia’s largest churches. The architecture and stained glass is something to marvel

Immerse yourself in the rich stories of a golden past, explore stunning heritage architecture fashioned in a time when Bendigo was the richest city in the world!
During the height of the gold rush the civic fathers of Bendigo were displeased with the practical appearance of their municipal building. A redevelopment was commissioned to reflect the exuberance and splendour of Bendigo's golden age.
