Set on the banks of the winding Campaspe River, Rochester is a town built on community, character and connection.
Located within the renowned Heathcote Wine Region, Rochy blends country charm with a rich food and wine culture, where local produce and regional flavours inspire what’s on the table.
Just 2 hours from Melbourne Airport, 45 minutes from Bendigo and Shepparton, and only 20 minutes from Echuca, Rochester is perfectly positioned for a relaxed getaway or an easy stop along the way.
Sitting proudly as a gateway to the Murray River region, the town’s tree-lined streets, well-kept parks and the gentle flow of the river create a place where life slows down just enough to enjoy it.
It’s a town where people know each other, where sport brings the community together, and where a good chat can turn into a great afternoon.
Whether you’re passing through or staying a while, Rochester has a way of making you feel at home. And right in the heart of it all, you’ll find The Local 3561, a place to gather, unwind, enjoy a meal inspired by local produce, and even stay the night in comfortable, welcoming accommodation.
Come for a visit, stay a little longer, and experience Rochy the way the locals do.
