Overview
The Metung Hotel, a long-standing favourite in the charming village of Metung, blends heritage character with spectacular natural surroundings. Situated on Kurnai Avenue right beside the water, this iconic East Gippsland pub has been serving locals and visitors for generations and continues to shine as a destination in its own right.
The venue’s standout feature is undoubtedly its expansive waterfront deck, offering panoramic views across Bancroft Bay and the Gippsland Lakes. It’s a magnet for boating enthusiasts who can moor nearby and stroll straight into the venue. Inside, the hotel retains a classic pub atmosphere with warm timber furnishings, a well-stocked bar, and a casual but welcoming vibe.
The bistro menu delivers all the country pub favourites—think parmas, steaks, seafood platters, and local catch specials. The focus is on hearty, satisfying meals paired with regional wines, local brews, and friendly service. The kitchen showcases produce from the surrounding East Gippsland area whenever possible.
In addition to being a popular dining spot, the Metung Hotel hosts live music, community events, and is well-equipped to cater for functions and celebrations with its flexible indoor and outdoor spaces.
Whether you're arriving by boat, road tripping along the Princes Highway, or staying locally, the Metung Hotel offers a quintessential lakeside Victorian pub experience—laid-back, picturesque, and steeped in local flavour.
