Discover Ballarat at a slower pace with this curated 2-day boutique escape, combining local stories, beautiful heritage and one of the city’s most distinctive stays.
Begin with a privately hosted vintage high tea picnic in the Ballarat Botanical Gardens, overlooking Lake Wendouree. Relax over sweet and savoury treats served with vintage teaware, hear stories of the gardens, and enjoy a ride on Ballarat’s historic tram.

Spend the night at Hotel Vera, a beautifully restored heritage residence where contemporary design meets Victorian character. With breakfast included the following morning, there’s time to slow down and enjoy the experience.
On Day 2, join Hidden Lanes’ signature group Ballarat City Tales walking tour, uncovering hidden laneways, grand architecture and fascinating stories of the people that shaped gold-rush Ballarat.
