Ideally situated alongside the Sovereign Hill Township, Sovereign Hill Lodge is a recreation of Ballarat's Government Camp of 1857. The Lodge provides convenience and comfort, with a short stroll taking you to all the action of Main Street and our evening sound-and-light show, Blood on the Southern Cross.
At Sovereign Hill you can relive history all day and all night, Sovereign Hill Lodge offers modern, on-site motel-style accommodation.
Australia’s foremost outdoor museum – Sovereign Hill recreates Ballarat’s first ten years after the discovery of gold in 1851 when thousands of international fortune-hunters rushed to the Australian goldfields in search of riches.
By day, Sovereign Hill is where Australia’s history comes to life! It's just like stepping back in time – from the hustle and bustle of Main Street where costumed ladies and gents parade their new-found wealth, to the excitement of the Red Hill Gully Diggings where you can pan for REAL gold.
At Sovereign Hill, you can see a spectacular $50,000 gold pour, venture underground on a fully-guided gold mine tour or catch a horse-drawn coach and tour the Township. There are working shops, hotels, schools, a theatre, crafts, a wheelwright, a candlemaker, a confectioner and steam-driven machinery.
On our streets and in our theatre, you will be entertained by costumed goldfields characters who are happy to pose for a great photo!
By night, Sovereign Hill presents its spectacular, multi-million dollar sound- and-light show, Blood on the Southern Cross, the dramatic story of the 1854 Eureka Uprising.
Sovereign Hill's commitment to authenticity and value-for-money family entertainment saw us judged Victoria's Major Tourist Attraction at the 2003 and 2004 Victorian Tourism Awards.
