Merrijig Inn & Merrijig Kitchen

Hello Friends,
That’s a wrap on our 15th season at the Merrijig. We are now closed for our annual holidays. We plan to reopen on Friday 12 June.
Again, thanks to everyone who supported our small business over the past 12 months! It’s been quite a challenge navigating the macro, whilst our fabulous team has made the micro happen!!
We are looking forward to our 15th Birthday when we reopen when we get to dream it all up again!
Until then, we eat, we drink, we explore and we rest!!

Turns out it was a lovely afternoon to get in the garden for the herb run. Fresh from the garden for tonight’s menu. Oh yeah - we’re OPEN tonight for May Race week!

Our little living piece of history is very proud to be included in this post.

Sure, you can get a pint if you want, but our super cute historic front bar is also home to our bespoke cocktails, carefully crafted wine list and daily written menu responding to our local producers & the seasons.
The surprise of our menu is part of the charm!

Step back in time, one pint at a time 🍺

Australia’s oldest pubs aren’t just places to drink – they’re living pieces of history 🏨 From convict-built inns and bushranger hideouts to outback roadhouses and haunted taverns, each one comes with its own stories etched into timber, stone and candlelit corners.

We’ve had the blessing of the Working Holiday Visa holders join our team this past year.
For a few wonderful months, amongst others, we had the passion & integrity of join our crew especially, in the bar & diningroom, loving chatting all things wine to our guests.
Eger is currently working vintage in the having a wonderful time!!!
He reminded us of the joy of loving all things wine and we loved connecting him with some of our fav winemakers.

This gorgeous little post from
gave us a little lift! 💜.

再會梅里吉！

Merrijig 是 Inspire 我在澳洲要成為 Somma 的搖籃，讓我拾起從前想要當 Somma 單純的夢想!

從最喜歡小鎮裡的一間餐廳，到來這裡上班，
同事們因為看到我對酒的熱情，給了我很大的空間，他們會推我去介紹酒
跟客人的互動中分享 Henty 的風土，說去過哪些酒莊參觀，我從幫他們做餐酒搭配，讓我得到了很多信心

要很 appreciate Tan給我支持！
讓我認識了很多偉大的 Winemaker

我想 或許有一天我會再回來的
那一天我會帶著我去釀酒的故事回來

Will we talk about it? 😬

We have a huge hole in our calendar next week due to guest cancellations. We’ve not experienced anything like it in our 15 years at the Merrijig. (Except for COVID times).

Makes me think we are living in extraordinary times AGAIN!

So if you were thinking about it, we’d love to see you!

Book direct through our website or phone 5568 2324 for a special surprise package!
