Kookaburra Hotel

We had the most amazing experience at the restaurant. They fit us in on short notice, and the table service was wonderful. We were treated decently, served well and we totally enjoyed our meals as well. We rate them a 10/10 across board. The ambience was nice and it wasn't too noisy inside. We loved it here. We will definitely be coming back here.

We visited the Kookaburra hotel for dinner while in town. First the staff were very welcoming and accommodating to fit us in without a booking. The waitstaff are amazing at customer service, so friendly and polite. They genuinely look very happy to be there. Then we had our meals; a chicken parmigiana and a steak, prompt to arrive and everything cooked to perfection- Thankyou chef. As visitors to the area we were very impressed with not only the staff and food but the overall atmosphere. If you want an amazing meal and exceptional service we definitely recommend the Kookaburra hotel!!

We came here a few years ago and had an amazing experience. They must have changed owners, because when we returned to the Grampians this time, excited to eat here again, it was an absolutely horrific experience. It took over an hour for our food to arrive, and when it finally did, it was extremely bland. We asked for bread for the table and it never came. The long wait combined with the disappointing food leaves nothing positive to review. An absolutely overpriced place.

Just had a meal at the Kookaburra Hotel in Halls Gap and it was perfect. I had the full Porterhouse steak with Green Peppercorn gravy and my wife had the Kangaroo in their super secret sauce. We asked for rare and it was served...rare!!! Unbelievable! Most places can't get this right, these guys know how to cook! The meals were perfect, the service was perfect and the drinks and atmosphere were just amazing. Not to mention everything was well priced. Loved it so much, would be back here again night after night if we weren't only here on holiday. Perfect! UPDATE: We forced ourselves to have dessert. Shared a vanilla bean pannacotta and a tiramisu. As before, perfection! Don't miss this place!

Today was a hard day. I bogged my car first thing in the morning which lead to an hour and a half of digging, I then hiked kilometre after kilometre through the grampians ranges seeing alm I could. Needless to say by the time I rolled into halls gap i was famished, on my last legs, begging for release, thats when I saw it, a venom brewing sign in the distance. My heart sighed its own breath of relief as i knew there was a pub nearby, The Kookaburra Hotel. At first I arrived a little early (an issue im working on) and eaiting for the magical doors to open. I sampled the most delectable brew I could of hoped for; The Laughing Lager, crisp, cold, refreshing, perfect. I couldn't help but stay here just a while longer, I waited patiently for the kit hen to open so I could order the Italian Lamb with the handsome Luke and Chris who were minding the bar keeping everyone happy. Sooner than expected the man himself Jace stepped out from the kitchen with the most magnifient build and beard I've ever seen in my life, no doubt a direct decadence of Zeus himself, set the plate down infornt of me with the simple word "Enjoy" and by crikey if it wasn't the most magnificent lamb that I've ever tasted in all my years. The meat was was soft and tender like the embrace of a lover lost to time. The veggies so incredibly flavoursome I couldn't help but deny anything this good could really be real. Needless to say my Times at the Kookaburra Tavern, was no less than heavenly, blissful, inspiring, and encouraging. I live over in W.A so the chances I get to visit again are low, but staff olease know that upon my death bed, when my children ask me for my final words of wisdom and life advice I shall tell them; "Goto the Kookaburra Hotel."

Absolutely fantastic, friendliest and helpful staff, even if busy, food comes out on. Fantastic customer Service, tge kitchen/Chef have a great menu and everything is great. Good selection of beers on tap too. Great atmosphere, we”ll back! Keep up the great work

We stopped here on our visit to Halls Gap and had a great afternoon! The staff were kind and helpful, the food was quick and there was some delicious beer on tap. The kids enjoyed the complimentary games, kept them quiet so the big kids could enjoy a game of pool. Will definitely be back.

The food was exceptional. All the staff from the moment we walked in were friendly, accommodating and extremely knowledgeable about the local wines and things to do in the area. Highly recommend the Kangaroo, the gravy is to die for!! The atmosphere is relaxed and casual.
