The Suites, Villa Belgravia

Description

"The Suites" are at 115 Wattle St. at the top of the hill in Bendigo's old Belgravia district. The well known View Street arts, sports, entertainment and restaurant precinct and the central business district is but a "stone's throw away".

Although so close to the centre The Suites provide a tranquil haven with a relaxed yet sophisticated style.

The Suites are two individual queen size self contained suites. They have large kitchenettes, large walk in shower rooms and Suite 1 has its own bathroom.

They occupy the complete lower ground floor of Villa Belgravia with their own dedicated grand private courtyard and portico entrance areas.

Villa Belgravia's history is entwined with that of the affluent goldfields priest Dr Henry Backhaus, as such, the property enjoys special views across the skyline of his legacy, one of Bendigo's renowned landmarks - The Sacred Heart Cathedral.

The "old Belgravia" district reflects the wealth and flamboyance of the gold rush period with many historical residences restored to reflect the grand architecture and lifestyle of that incredible era.

Parking is easily available in the adjacent street or secure private off-street parking can be arranged at the rear of the property with the owner.

The building reflects the wealth, romance and flamboyance of the gold era with its large arched portico areas, high ceilings and rooms with grand dimensions and fittings. Each suite is unique with its separate facilities finished in classic European style with travertine and marble stone floors / walls with modern fittings and facilities.

The Suites Logo The image of the scallop shell became the symbol of the traveller back in the 13th century. This was used to indicate protection and refuge for travelling pilgrims and traders. This became a part of the adornment of the property by the architect W C Vahland. Today the property again continues to welcome travellers by offering "the Suites".
