VICTORIA LODGE & PRECINCT
Victoria Lodge, a heritage site dating back to 1865, is a stunning landmark within the Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney. With its unparalleled location overlooking Farm Cove, the Sydney Opera House, and Sydney Harbour Bridge, it offers a prime opportunity for a high-quality food and beverage operator to thrive.
