Tinamba Hotel
OPEN: LUNCH Wednesday to Sunday. DINNER Wednesday
to Saturday.
“A
unique mix of quality culinary sophistication in a venue with a hint of
opulence but still unpretentious.”
Location: About 7 Kms out of
Maffra you will find Tinamba, and adjacent to the crossroads is the Tinamba Hotel first established in 1874.
This hotel has seen many changes, the most significant being in 2009 when the
current owners, Brad Neilson and Damien Gannon, a couple of real Gippslanders,
purchased it having sold their restaurant (Neilsons) in Traralgon in 2008. Brad & Damien both were born and
raised in Gippsland, a homecoming for Damien, born in Tinamba, just up the road
for Brad who hails from Traralgon. Having purchased the hotel in May 2009 they
promptly closed it for 3 months of hard work renovating it ready for re-opening
on August 22nd 2009. On
street parking is available right outside this typical country pub facade of
the period and across the best kept grass verge in town you enter into another
world. I described it like entering the “Tardis”. 3 months of hard work renovating this
establishment (I would not insult it now calling it a pub), the Tinamba Hotel
is something really special.
