A destination place for people who want to experience country hospitality and local wines.
A La Carte dining, public bar, bed & breakfast accommodation, functions, weddings, corporate meetings, community events.
A classic Victorian in central Victoria, lovingly restored to its original 1870s magnificence downstairs and tastefully renovated upstairs to accommodate in style.
A part of the Heathcote wine region, the wine selection features local wineries and varieties, so red wine lovers will have trouble choosing, and there are enough white varieties to satisfy the palate.
The front bar welcomes with its genial staff, wonderful red-gum bar and its homely atmosphere. One can settle in well here by the open fire for coffee and cake, or a light lunch from our bar menu all day every day.
Through to the Chloe lounge – yes – there she presides, all maiden pride, demurely ignoring a delightful, cosy wining and dining area, aglow with another open fire.
The function room, by contrast, is the largest reception area in Rochester – and airy, spacious lounge / dining / partying room.
Cigarette? Fresh Air? There are two pleasant options a step away, one of which is the BBQ area, a large paved beer garden featuring a delightful rustic mural and the old peppercorn tree.
Upstairs you’ll find four tastefully renovated ensuite bedrooms and the fabulous balcony overlooking Moore St and the various comings and goings of Rochester life.
Always the staff is most obliging, and the guests feel totally spoilt on leaving.
The Tavern – Envy of its Competitors – Well worth a return visit.
