About Olinda Creek Hotel
A classic Australian country pub, Olinda Creek Hotel sits in Lilydale and holds a 4.1-star rating across 1,115 Google reviews. Like most of the Yarra Valley's historic hotels, it punches above its weight on food, with a bistro menu that doesn't take itself too seriously and a bar that anchors the local social calendar.
Open seven days for lunch and dinner in most cases, with a bistro menu of solid country-pub classics, a bar serving local taps and wines by the glass, and the kind of unstuffy atmosphere that makes everyone welcome — families included.
The venue is notable for outdoor seating that takes advantage of the Yarra Valley setting. One recent guest summed it up: "Liv is brilliant. Lovely disposition. Great meal."
Olinda Creek Hotel operates 7 days a week, giving plenty of options for fitting it into a Yarra Valley itinerary.
