Bundanoon Hotel

This quirky mock-Tudor edifice opened in 1922 and offers a run-down elegance to those seeking out Bundanoon's Brigadoon festival heritage. There's even a ghost called Mary to round out the charm. The Thistle restaurant serves up interesting, well-priced food with cheery village service. The confit pork belly on creamy mash with fried chorizo and red wine jus satisfies a Braveheart-sized appetite, while the 300-gram King Island rib-eye on mixed roasted local vegetables may strain the waistband of your kilt. Kitchen staff disappear at 2pm sharp: you may miss out on such treats as the pineapple tarte tatin with sweet sherry syrup and cream.
