The Gardners Inn is a great watering hole for both locals and visitors alike. We have three bar areas providing ample space to enjoy our extensive range of standard, specialist and top shelf beverages. We also have an extensive range of local wines available to consume with a meal or take away from our bottle shop. For something more substantial, the Brasserie is open daily for breakfast lunch and dinner and offers a range of excellent contemporary pub fare at reasonable prices. The Gardners Inn epitomises the great tradition of Australian Inns and this is reflected by the traditional style accommodation.

"great night out"

"food was excellent, although entree came after the main meal was served , where we were seated was a draft due to the swinging doors twas a touch unpleasant but no other tables were available, service was pleasant but under staffed and we did appreciate the pool and lounge area , a really enjoyable evening by all and would dine there again with another choice of table when booking next time.
