About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Good for groups
Simon and Tania Johnson have owned Tinamba Hotel since October 2020 and feel honoured to be the custodians of the hotel’s proud heritage as they build upon a vision from previous owners, Brad Neilson, Damien Gannon, the Schoenmaeker and Whelan families.

Using the finest, locally grown fresh produce from local suppliers and working with the most talented chefs in the region is what the Johnsons believe sets Tinamba Hotel apart. The signature dishes deliver a truly memorable experience, served in a setting famously known as Gippsland’s favourite destination dining venue.

From the first-class dining experience within the dining room, lounge and conservatory, to the relaxed atmosphere in the Amba Bar and on the outdoor veranda, Simon, Tania and the Tinamba Hotel team provide the finest example of country hospitality for local and visiting customers alike.

Welcome to your Gippsland local. The award-winning Tinamba Hotel.

    We love it here, we were seated in the cosy dining ‘nook’ and enjoyed the quick and attentive service, waitress was a natural. The barramundi melted in your mouth and desserts were all excellent! The chicken Parma’s were a little overdone, but better that way than under-done. Drinks were all lovely. The bread is to die-for! Yum!

    We had a small family gathering in the Alcove. It was the perfect space, the food was great (the kids adored the pasta and had great fun playing chess) and we had a wonderful meal. Thanks so much for complimentary ANZAC biscuits and bread. It was a lovely evening.

    The larger size of the lamb plate allowed us to share. The lamb was fantastic and everyone who tasted it, are still raving about it. We ordered all the side dishes which were delicious and complimented our main choices.

    Myself and 4 friends went for a girls catchup luncheon and were not disappointed. From the time we got there we were waited on hand and foot by our waiter Nick with both food and drinks. Nothing was to much trouble. The food was wonderful and Simon was a great host/owner. We will be back again soon.
