“Ok, I expected pub food and was incredibly surprised that everything we had was like a 5star restaurant. I had calamari which was the best I ever had anywhere. Kiss pasta bol was fantastic and gnocci chicken was delish too. Really really good. I wish I could have these in Melbourne.”

Tatjana

“The food is generous, well presented and delicious. The staff on all three occasions we had a meal there, were friendly, helpful and went above and beyond to get us what we wanted. I would highly recommend this bistro.”

Jocelyn Bishop

“What a fabulous establishment. We were informed that the hotel has a courtesy bus, which was much appreciated as the hill climb from the campground is quite an effort. The food, the service, the atmosphere of the Austral is amazing. Highly recommend a visit to the Austral where you’ll be well looked after with old fashioned country hospitality.”
