Tinamba Hotel
The Hotel stayed in the family until 2009 when Brad Neilson & Damien Gannon purchased it. Brad & Damien both were born and raised in Gippsland. Brad born in Traralgon and Damien in Tinamba.
They owned Neilsons Restaurant in Traralgon, which they sold early in 2008. After a short stint in St Kilda, they returned to Tinamba, taking over the Hotel in May 2009 and immediately closed it for renovations.
After 3 months of hard work, the Hotel re-opened on August 22, 2009

The usual high standard has dropped. Food was cold, bland & boring. Also the room was cold.
Fabulous welcome and professional service. Food was all amazing and great value. The decor was interesting, with plenty of room. We’ll definitely be back....I want to try the entire menu!
A very warm and inviting atmosphere and topped off with amazing food.
Fine Dining at it's best, overall a great experience, worth the trip.
Had a lovely meal with 8 friends. The service was efficient and unobtrusive. The meals were generous and beautifully prepared and presented. Gorgeous old pub with a lovely enormous dining room with small areas for more intimate dining. I would certainly recommend this place.
Thank goodness for Tinamba Hotel. The only place in the district where a family or friends can be assured of great food, friendly staff and a comfortable ambience.
Outstanding dining experience- great food, service and ambience.
Pleased with both meals m& service... have booked another table for 4 for Wednesday 17th April
We had the most amazing night. Our food was cooked to perfection and we appreciated the soup sampler. The gaytime cocktail was delicious. Iv already told everyone at work about it and we are planning trip.
We thoroughly enjoyed the complete package. Seating was well spaced and the decor was lovely with a mix of old and new. Service was excellent with each course well spaced. Enjoyed all the dishes and would definitely go again when in the area.
The perfect venue for our special, commemoration lunch. Excellent service, outstanding food and an environment that lends itself to memorable dining. A total delight.
When celebrated my daughters 21st Birthday and everyone absolutely enjoyed it. The food and service was amazing and the staff very friendly and happy to help with special requests.

Excellent food and service. Lunch specials provide a great choice. Always worth a visit.
This hotel or should I say restaurant would have to be so close to 5 stars its not funny. I fully understand why people travel great distances to indulge in the gourmet food an superb ambience.
Excellent service. wide range of very tasty dishes on the menu, gluten free friendly, attentive and friendly staff

We had a great lunch at Tinamba, certainly value for money.
Excellent food, with lots of time to talk and enjoy
Delicious food in an ambient and enjoyable environment. Would recommend!
Very good quality food with obvious effort in preparation. Excellent presentation. Great taste using local ingredients. Would love a buttery herb / garlic type sauce with scallops for entree. I think you may have had something similar in the past but realise this may be dependent on supply.
We dined here on Australia Day while staying in Maffra for the long weekend for a wedding.
The wedding was catered for by Tinamba hotel and the food was absolutely divine!! (The chicken mouse profita rolls with salted caramel were hands down the best thing I’ve ever tasted!!)
Based on such a delicious wedding menu we booked dinner for the following night and to our expectations were not disappointed.
What a gem this place is,a truely fine dining experience with delicious food! Well done!!
I would recommend the Tinamba Hotel without hesitation. I took friends from Melbourne there for Saturday lunch. I sometimes refer to my friends as food snobs. They know a good thing. They loved the venue and raved about the food as did I.
Fantastic food, impeccable service and great atmosphere. Loved everything
The hotel provides consistently high quality food with excellent service and to enjoy in a dining room with a wonderful ambience.
Excellent food, good service in a quiet, pleasnt room. Easilly the best choice in the area.
First time at Tinamba Hotel and was not disappointed. Extra friendly staff, very professional service and the service first class. I would definitely recommend this place to family and friends. The food was presented beautifully so my congratulations to the chefs. Thankyou for a special meal on our 24th wedding anniversary. Cheers
A unique Gippsland ding experience .Never dissapoints!
Second visit to the Tinambo hotel and we were not disappointed. Excellent cocktails followed by a super meal. I would love the recipe for that delicious complimentary leek espresso. The cheese souffle was a winner as well. Overall exceptional.
A wonderful meal once again, service, food, ambience was impeccable, this is one day of the year my mother and I look forward too.
An absolute visual and gastronomical delight - and the service was impeccable. Everyone must visit Tinamba Hotel at least once.
The Tinamba hotel is a beautiful elegant and calming feel venue for any special Occassion. The food was amazing. Presentation,10out of 10 with hospitality service to match .
Defaintly worth the trip from Bairnsdale and Taralgon
