Make the Watervale Hotel your last stop before home. Enjoy a relaxed afternoon in the sunshine, settle into the beer garden with a drink, and stay for an early dinner so there's no need to cook when you get back.

See you soon.

We are incredibly proud to be named a finalist in the Sustainability category of the Australian Hotelier Top 50 Gastro Pubs Awards.

To be recognised among Australia's leading gastro pubs is a significant achievement in itself. To stand alongside some of South Australia's most respected hospitality venues.

What makes this recognition even more special is being identified as one of just five venues nationally shortlisted for sustainability.

At the Watervale Hotel, sustainability is not a marketing slogan. It is embedded in everything we do, from growing organic produce at Penobscot Farm and supporting local producers, to reducing waste and creating a hospitality model that respects the land for future generations.

Thank you to our team, suppliers, guests and community who support our vision every day. We are proud to be counted among the country's best.
