A Western Downs Local
Out here on the black-soil plains, the pub is the heart of the town. Whether you’re passing through with a load, chasing a quiet weekend, or just after a cold one and a chat, you’ll find the door open and the tap on.

All our accommodation in Meandarra sits on the upper floor, opening straight onto the wraparound veranda. Here’s exactly what you’ll find, laid out plain and simple.
Twelve clean, comfortable rooms running along the veranda.
A shared upstairs dining area to enjoy a meal or a cuppa.

The Kitchen
Honest, generous meals made to fill you up after a long day. Pull up for lunch or come back for a proper feed of an evening.

Hand-made pizzas available every day during kitchen hours.
Available on request for groups and contractors at certain times of year.
Air-conditioned and comfortable, with seven beers on tap and a good range of spirits and wines. The kind of bar where a stranger only stays a stranger for one round.
