Welcome to

THE G.O.A.T. PUB OF South Western Victoria

The Caramut Hotel is a true-blue traditional country pub, nestled in the heart of South Western Victoria — right between the lively towns of Hamilton and Warrnambool. Whether you're passing through on your way to South Australia, exploring the backroads of Victoria, or just need a break from the paddock, we're the perfect place to pull up for a cold drink and a good yarn.

Built in 1848, the Caramut Hotel has stood the test of time as a proud local watering hole, serving generations of farmers, truckies, travellers, and locals. We're not gentrified, polished, or pretentious — and that’s just the way we like it. This is a farmers' bar, through and through. Dirty boots? Welcome. High-vis? Absolutely. Bring the dog, park the ute out front, and make yourself at home.

Inside, you'll find classic country pub charm with no frills — just hearty meals, cold beer on tap, friendly faces, and the kind of warm hospitality that only a small town can offer. Whether you're here for a quiet drink, a meal with mates, or to share stories after a hard day's work, the Caramut Hotel is your kind of place.

We're proud to carry on the legacy of this iconic local pub, keeping the spirit of the bush alive and well. Come for the history, stay for the atmosphere — and leave feeling like part of the furniture.
