Relax in the heart of Victoria’s Gold Rush history, The Grand Oaks Resort offers 20 rooms, contemporary and alfresco dining and extensive function, conference, and wedding facilities. Landscaped gardens, outdoor tennis court, pool, plus our very own ‘Beechworth Little Chapel’ residing on the property.
First founded in May 1839, Mayday Hills was discovered by a former naval officer Lieutenant David Reid, whilst exploring neighbouring Eldorado. So impressed by the beauty of the landscape, he immediately called it ‘May Day Hills.’ The larger, town of Beechworth, we know today, came about from the discovery of gold on the banks of Newtown Hill in 1852, some 12 years after Reid put May Day Hills on the map.
Mayday Hills has a strong sense of place for many people connected to its history. Learn of the pioneers who established the town and of the stories of old when you visit beautiful Beechworth, a historically important town. Visiting will give you a significant sense of place in the history of Victoria and the role it played in the early economy of Australia.
Mayday Hills is home to many architecturally significant buildings dating back to those early years in 1860s. The Grand Oaks Resort, was first built in 1975, with the Chapel (on-site) built approximately 100 years earlier.
Immerse yourself in history and nature of the region by booking a visit to the Burke Museum or the Old Beechworth Gaol during your stay with us.
