“A fantastic pub, with great staff food and friendly customers. Trudy an owner pick us up in courtesy bus and introduced us to locals and we went to the Stony Creek races. Fantastic day.”

David Lynch

“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.”
