Huckers Bakery: Historic Charm Meets Modern Appeal

Formally the beloved Huckers Bakery built in 1884, this unique abode now offers a character-filled, cosy stay for groups. Stroll the local township’s leafy, historic streets, discover Ballarat within 20 minutes’ drive, or unwind at home with a relaxing soak in the bath and a glass of wine on the deck, complete with glimpses of Lake Learmonth and a fire pit to enjoy come evening. Modern conveniences include air-conditioning, a washing machine and a work desk to make this your home away from home.

Ideally situated in the charming township of Learmonth, this recently renovated property marries old-world appeal with modern comforts to offer a convenient, memorable stay. Guests are welcomed by an inviting lounge area which was the bakery’s original shop, featuring part of the original slat roof and elegantly appointed with a sofa, two armchairs and a TV, plus a wood-burning fireplace creating the perfect ambiance to settle in with a movie.

You’ll find everything you need in the modern, country-chic kitchen to prepare food at home, including a six-seater dining table to share meals. Additional seating at a cosy nook by the window provides a peaceful spot to sip your morning cuppa while looking out to the deck and manicured gardens.

If you’d prefer to eat alfresco, a spacious outdoor dining area offers a table and sun loungers, with views overlooking the gardens and offering glimpses of Lake Learmonth. A large, pet-friendly backyard provides plenty of room to play and entertain, while a fire pit ensures everyone can enjoy the outdoor space on cooler evenings.

Three bedrooms sleep six guests, with the master bedroom featuring a king-size bed, the second bedroom offering a queen bed and the third including a double bed. The luxurious master ensuite features a bathtub where guests can indulge in a relaxing soak, while the main bathroom includes a walk-in shower.

The popular Cafe Sidra is located a two-minute stroll from your stay. Enjoy coffee and housemade cake or a craft cider and a hearty lunch in the leafy courtyard before exploring the historic streets of Learmonth and nearby Lake Learmonth.

All the sights of the Ballarat CBD are less than 20 minutes’ drive, including the Botanical Gardens and the Art Gallery of Ballarat, while a few minutes further you’ll find Sovereign Hil Historical Park, where an open-air museum brings to life Australia's great 1850s gold rush.

Very comfortable stay with an amazing property embracing the history of the building
This property has renovated the original bakery while keeping some materials from the original property. Including a small window in the ceiling for you to see the original slats behind the new ceiling! Lovely town with an historical walk down the main street, with clearly marked info on most buildings on what they were and who founded them. We also had a lovely meal at the Stag Hotel on Saturday night.
