Travellers rave about this charming 1888 country pub for its warm hospitality, lively atmosphere and museum-like decor filled with antiques, collectables and even the Blues Brothers on the balcony. The front bar is a favourite for a yarn and a drink, and the whole place is spotless, inviting and full of character.
Food and drink get plenty of love, with standout pub meals like the chicken parma and flathead fillets, cold beers and relaxed dinners. The upstairs accommodation is praised for clean, comfy, themed rooms such as the Bali room and the Vibe room, plus renovated shared bathrooms, a guest kitchen and even an included light breakfast. Its family friendly, genuinely dog friendly, and handy for stopovers between Melbourne and Adelaide, with RV and caravan parking out the back. Several reviewers mentioned Bob and Shelby for their welcoming, above-and-beyond hospitality.
