We are the only restaurant place in town, the next is either 35 minutes to Mt Gambier, or Port MacDonnell or 45 minutes to Portland, and we love to see you here for a good meal, cold beer, and some conversation as well.
We sometimes get busy here, lunch and dinner, and we love to have people come, and hate to turn people away, so please book!

Things to do in the area
Glenelg River Cruise’s
Cruise abroad the top deck of the Nelson Explorer or sit inside the cosy cabin of the Nelson Endeavour and set sail on a journey down the Glenelg River.
Check out Nelson River Cruises Facebook Page for more information.
Canoe/Kayak Hire
Choose to paddle for just a few hours or for a few days! Rent a canoe or kayak from one of the local hire companies and enjoy cruising down the Glenelg river, taking in the wonderful sites and spotting the wildlife. There are many campsites on the river to choose from, should you adventure overnight.
Fishing
On the verge of South Australia, the beautiful Glenelg river remains unknown to many Aussie fisherman. The river is home to black breams, estuary perch, yellow eyed mullet, mulloway, jewfish and much more. Don’t miss out on this super catch!
The Estuary
Visit the meeting place for the Glenelg river and the Southern Ocean, the longest estuary in Victoria. Here you can also take a dip in the Discovery Bay Estuary beach.
Simpsons Landing/ Isle of Bags
Our local and idyllic swimming spots, within 20 minutes walk. Walk from the pub under the eucalyptus trees, along the bank of the river, and you will reach the Isle of Bags and Simpsons landing man-made beaches. Have a BBQ, take a dip or simply relax. These landings are also used by boats setting off for their day of fishing.
Great Southwest Walk
The Great Southwest walk can be explored through shorter or overnight hikes. Luckily, we have it right on our doorstep! You can join the walk from Nelson, but if you have started the walk from afar, then pop in here for a warm brew and shower to freshen up before continuing your journey!
