Victoria Hotel Dimboola

Partner and I enjoyed a beautiful lunch today. Food was amazing, steak cooked perfectly, calamari was spot on, and oh, the chips! I don’t usually like the chips, but these were on another level. Finished off with a Lemoncello tart, yummo. So much to see in the many rooms, can’t describe it. Then Merryn gave us a tour of another venture they are working on, their own Brewery! We will have to comeback sometime to sample that. Such hardworking and talented publicans! Thanks for your hospitality, Cheers, Robyn & Steve 🍹

Stayed overnight here & it was definitely a highlight of our whole trip. Super simple accomodation, but amenities were good & staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel itself was so quirky and fun. Plus, the food was great (amazing crispy chicken schnitzel). There was something so novel about staying upstairs of a pub… 🍻 We had an awesome night, recommend!

We had the nicest time here. The people treat you like family, the sort of family that are welcomed in and introduced to friends and given the most comfortable chair. The hotel itself is worth spending time exploring and admiring the art and quirky collections. The rooms are comfortable and a great way to experience travel as it was in decades past, not only a bathroom down the corridor, but a guest lounge and dining room as well. A great place to visit.

What a great country pub. This will be our half point when driving to Melbourne. Retro bohemian vibe in bedrooms and dinning area. Excellent classic pub food, I had ribs and wife had chicken party, yum! Owners make their own beers which were nice. Beds comfy and air-conditioned worked well all night (very hot weather). Thank you to the owners for an enjoyable stay. Classic Aussie pub. This would be fun for families or couples or even a group of friends on the way to Melbourne.

Great pub hotel in the town where iconic Australian painter Sidney Nolan once lived and worked. Highly recommend both this place and the town for a fantastic country getaway. Upstairs accommodation is excellent, and downstairs has great vibes. The food, beers, and locals are all brilliant. There was live music one of the nights I stayed, and the whole pub feels like a movie set — which makes sense, because it once was! It was featured in Dimboola, the 1979 Australian independent film starring Max Gillies, Bruce Spence, and Chad Morgan, based on the 1969 play of the same name. Hold my beer — I’ll be back soon for more!

This is a really nice traditional pub and it's owner has maintained its originality which is so nice to see. It was amazingly busy for a Monday evening and the bar was lively with locals. The food and service were great and we had a lovely time. There was a welcoming atmosphere and a nice outside area.

Gorgeous old pub with old world decor. Sensational meals, steaks cooked to perfection and meals really had flavour. You could almost taste the love that went into them. Worth stopping for a look if you're in the area and treat yourself to a meal you won't regret. Can't comment on the rooms as we didn't stay here.

What a surprise on entering this 1924 hotel. Delightfully decked out with eclectic furnishings and fixtures. Beautiful dining room. Food was delicious and staff were so helpful.

Okay, you don't really have too much of a choice in Dimboola, though you could always buy beer at the takeaway and go home, but honestly, that does happen to be pretty boring. So, you have this pub, which is rather nice. Sure, the beer selection, well, it isn't all that great, but that is sort of to be expected, especially in a small town like Dimboola. However, the service was pretty good, and they do have quite a large beer garden out the back as well. I probably should also mention that they do a decent fish & chips as well, particularly since it is the only place you can get a feed after a certain hour.
