Donatella, Where Heritage Meets Haute Living

House of Donatella is a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom designer retreat that blends the historic soul of Bendigo with luxurious modern living. Nestled in a city that once stood at the heart of the 1850s gold rush, this beautifully renovated home celebrates old-world charm at the front and bold contemporary elegance at the back.

Located just minutes from the Bendigo CBD & art precinct. House of Donatella offers the perfect base for those seeking culture, comfort, and style in equal measure.

From the moment you enter, House of Donatella reveals its layers — much like the city itself. The original front section of the home reflects Bendigo’s architectural heritage, with high ceilings, polished timber floors, and elegant period touches. As you move towards the rear of the home, a spectacular modern extension unfolds: think polished concrete, floor-to-ceiling glass, curated interiors, and a seamless connection to the manicured courtyard garden.

Whether you`re sipping wine in the courtyard, preparing a meal in the marble-topped kitchen, or relaxing with a book in one of two living areas, every detail has been designed for an elevated stay.
