Locals in the know say Branxholm's monolithic, 114-year-old country pub is the best place for a feed within miles. Expect country-sized plates of steak, seafood, pork chops, surf 'n' turf, schnitzels and roast-of-the-day, plus endless cold beer. There's basic pub-style accommodation upstairs, too, from $35 per person.
