The fire was reported at a property about 3.30pm on Tuesday.
Fire Rescue Victoria said there was no-one home at the time, and that a neighbour alerted authorities after hearing smoke alarms and seeing smoke.
Senior station officer at Bendigo, Craig Houlahan, said that in this case a working smoke alarm prevented more severe damage.
The fire started in the kitchen and did not spread beyond that room. The exact cause will be investigated.
Police are on scene.
