MOUNT MORIAC HOTEL

Once a simple stop for stagecoaches and riders, the Mount Moriac Hotel was and still is a charming destination for travellers and locals to enjoy a good meal, quench their thirst and gather with friends and family.

Æ With a country pub atmosphere, only 20 minutes from the Geelong CBD, the Mount Moriac Hotel is not your ordinary country pub. There are six different dining spaces for you to choose from, depending on your mood, which include bistro and bar dining, an undercover beer garden and an MT/Yard space.

Not only is the food and drink list incredible but there is also a $12 happy hour (7:30pm) special on cocktails every Saturday night. If you want to do a back-to-back sesh, they also have live music and a meat raffle every Friday night, you’d be crazy not to head on over.

Also, if betting is for you, the Mount is a registered TAB venue, so you can place some bets, have some bevs and look forward to a classic pub feed.

Now, if you’re in the middle of a road trip and are looking for somewhere to crash in between, the Mount Moriac Hotel also offers free camping spots for a maximum of 48 hours, which due to limited capacity, is only available to campers with a table reservation. It’s simple, just pitch your tent or park your caravan in the nearby available spots, and head inside for a parmi feed and a couple of dozen drinks of your choice. You don’t have far to go when you’re ready for a snooze.

The Mount also has function spaces on offer, so consider them for your next shindig.
