"My first time at this location. Very friendly bar/kitchen/hotel staff. As an avid Blue steak lover for decades, often disappointed at many restaurants, I was super impressed with finding the best Blue steak of my life so far at this hotel. Hats off to the chef. The new room renovations are fantastic."

"We really enjoyed our stay. Erin (the new owner) and her team deliver a great welcoming experience. Sure, the rooms are basic and there is some work to do, but Erin (who grew up in the town) is committed to making the pub the lively centre of the community. My porterhouse steak was perfect and the pizzas are seriously next level. True. An absolutely authentic country pub experience"

"This is a wonderful place that hasn't changed in years, an old-fashioned real pub, with genuine country people. The food is amazing, hats off to the chief, she's doing a great job, great pizza menu with all the classics and all the pub style meals, steak, parma, pasta, chips, kids meals are not only fantastic but fairly priced as well. Erin, the owner, is so worth meeting, genuine, kind, and nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are pub basic,..."

"Great rustic country pub in the beautiful Victorian high country, close to the snowfields. Cosy bar with wood fire. Food was delicious - I had steak and veg and it was perfectly cooked. Rooms simple and very comfortable. Erin is a fantastic host, very engaging and helpful. Also LGBTIQ-friendly Highly recommended!"

"We enjoyed our stay at the Benambra Hotel. Great food and service. We were there for pizza night and it was very good. The owner was friendly and helpful. Provided covered parking for our bike. There was a handy guest kitchenette out the back so we could have breakfast before we headed into another great day's riding. The shower was hot and functional. Rooms were clean and comfortable, and I am sure they will get updated as the business grows...."

"The Benambra Pub is a classic old style country hotel located in the sweeping open countryside north of Omeo. Two of us stayed here last night with our motorcycles, which were welcome. After locating the machines under cover we unpacked in our basic but clean hotel room and settled in for a beer or two and a chat with the friendly staff before dinner in the Bistro. The food was good and not too expensive. Of interest is the relic..."

"Like so many others, I had seen a post about dropping into the pub to "help out". So we did, had a couple of beers, and had to move on. Erin was so friendly and every person who had been in the pub that day had seen a post and did the same as us. Next time, we'll stay overnight. Great little spot."
