Rose & Crown

Top choice in West Coast Australia


WA's oldest still-operating pub (1841) has a rambling beer garden and quirky heritage corners to explore inside. Have a beer in the enticingly dim cellar bar, where there's a convict-built well, and check out the sealed-off tunnel that used to connect the hotel with the river. The fat rabbit pie with a pint of Feral Brewing's 'The Local' is unbeatable.

There's also accommodation here, in the form of heritage hotel rooms in the pub and tastefully styled motel rooms out the back (with pool). Rates include breakfast and start at $170.
