Mundaring Hotel

West Coast Australia


Hung with flower baskets, the handsome grey-painted Mundaring Hotel has been pouring beers since 1899. Back then, Jacoby St was Mundaring's main thoroughfare; the shift of commercial focus to the Great Eastern Hwy has left the pub pleasantly becalmed in the backstreets. Hit the outdoor terrace for good pub grub (mains $18 to $29) while the kids assault the playground.
