The jewel of Rutherglen’s historic Main Street, The Victoria has been a feature of the town’s vibrant and storied history since the late 1800s and offers a sense of unhurried escape from the everyday.

Awarded AHA Victoria’s Best Redeveloped Hotel 2025, The Victoria is conveniently located just 10 minutes off the Hume Freeway (northbound) on the Victoria/New South Wales border and an easy three-hour drive from Melbourne. The Victoria serves as the ideal meeting point for guests from Sydney, Canberra and regional Victoria.

Under the guidance of AHA Victoria’s Chef of the Year Brendan Anderson, The Victoria’s menu celebrates local produce, cooked over fire with skill and care.
