This sprawling, faux-colonial pub, general store, petrol station and caravan park is Southport's cultural and commercial core. The weary can bunk down for the night in the caravan park or adjacent motel units, while the hungry can resolve the problem in the dining room (mains $18 to $30, serving noon to 2pm and 6pm to 8pm).
