Always popular. Decent menu. Very reasonable prices. Order from table via qr-code or at the counter. Meals delivered to table. Used to have to collect at the counter in the old days. Great kids play area.

We recently visited the Matthew Flinders Hotel and were surprised by how quiet the place was. The atmosphere felt almost eerie, with little to no activity despite it being lunch time. We ordered our drinks through the app, expecting them to arrive promptly. However, after a long wait, nothing came. We eventually went to the bar to inquire, only to find our drinks sitting there, waiting to be delivered. It made us wonder if the lack of service was because we didn’t leave a tip on the app. Is tipping even a thing in Australia? As far as we know, it’s not a common expectation, so the experience felt odd. Overall, the service was disappointing, and it seemed like the staff were disengaged. While the venue itself is decent, the lack of attention to customers really left us underwhelmed. The image shows how busy it wasn’t.

Checked into the room and it was nice and clean. Service was good until my final night. Was running late and wanted to get something for dinner. All around the hotel there are signs stating meals from 11am until 9pm. Went to the restaurant to see them cleaning up and asked if they still open as there were no menus around and was told no we are closed………as I am from country Victoria and come to Melbourne for business often, I thought I found a hreat place to stay until this.

A fantastic spot for celebrating birthdays or simply enjoying regular days, boasting delicious food and a delightful atmosphere. Additionally, it features an arcade suitable for both children and adults, and ample parking space, making it highly recommended. 💖😍😍

I came here on a Thursday at lunchtime with the kids for a quick lunch while in the area. I love a pub/hotel meal (nothing fancy just simple) and having driven past a few times I figured today’s the day to give it a go. The establishment is very clean and actually has a great vibe. The staff are very friendly and welcoming which is always a plus. There’s lots of room for functions as well as booths for something more private. There’s a decent bar selection of wines and spirits (although I’m not a drinker) there’s also a coffee machine with some lovely cakes (a must for us mums) The kitchen area is open, and looks very clean. The food came out fast and the portions are just enough to fill a hungry tummy). Sometimes pubs give such a huge serve that it ends up being a waste. There’s a great selection for the seniors too which are very affordable. Kids meals are decent with the standard options that one would expect (fish n chips, nuggets n chips, salads, pasta) for $12. I ordered a chicken Caesar salad it came out fresh and well prepared. There’s a bowling area, kids indoor playground, as well as an arcade all well kept, clean and great to vent some energy before or after a meal. To the back is also a sports bar and gaming lounge (can’t comment on the state of either as under 18 is not permitted and I have 2 littles with me) At the front there is a seperate entrance in the foyer to a “club” with a small stage, dance floor, bar and booths.
