The Lake View Hotel has been welcoming locals and visitors since 1875. Standing proudly opposite Lake Wendouree, it is the last of the grand hotels that once overlooked the lake, giving visitors the chance to experience a living piece of Ballarat's rich history.
A favourite with Ballarat locals for generations, visitors can expect genuine hospitality and a welcoming atmosphere that has kept regulars returning for decades. Families are well catered for, with weekly specials, quality pub favourites, contemporary dishes and great coffee.
Lake Wendouree is one of Victoria's most picturesque urban landscapes, where rowers glide across the water, runners circle the Steve Moneghetti Track, anglers cast a line, and remarkable birdlife delights photographers and birdwatchers. The Lake View Hotel is the perfect place to watch the sunset before heading out for an evening walk or run on the fully lit track, or simply admiring the beautiful homes that line the shoreline. Just minutes away, the 40-hectare Ballarat Botanical Gardens, Ballarat's celebrated heritage streetscapes and cultural attractions provide plenty to explore. Looking for local recommendations? The friendly team is always happy to help.
Open seven days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner, The Lake View Hotel is the kind of place visitors can return to throughout their stay. Function spaces overlooking Lake Wendouree also make it a popular choice for weddings, celebrations and corporate events.
