The Royal Mail Hotel has been an icon of the borough of Sebastopol since it was first established in 1866 during the gold-digging era. As the last tram stop along the route for the town of Ballarat and the final destination of the very last tram in 1971, it has always been a hub of the local area, with strong and loyal community support. Located on a major highway at the outskirts of Ballarat, it is also a welcome stop for hungry & thirsty travellers.
