In-Depth Information
Sadly this historic timber hotel - which could formerly lay claim to being Victoria's oldest
continually licensed pub (since 1842) - burned to the ground in February 2014. No plans
to rebuild were in place at time of publication, but watch this space.

cafe offering coffee and sandwiches; by night the menu turns to thoughtful seafood dishes
