Tucked between the rolling paddocks of Victoria’s southwest, halfway between Warrnambool and Hamilton, you’ll find the charming country town of Caramut—a hidden gem rich in history, heart, and hospitality.

Right in the centre of this tight-knit farming community stands the Caramut Hotel, a local institution that’s been the heart of the town since the mid-1800s. From the early days of hardworking pioneers and farmers, through the challenges of world wars and changing times, the Caramut Hotel has remained a welcoming meeting place for locals and travellers alike.

These days, the Caramut Hotel proudly blends country comfort with warm, down-to-earth service. Whether you're pulling up a stool for a cold one, enjoying a meal made with the freshest locally sourced produce, or sharing yarns by the fire, you’ll feel right at home. All of our ingredients are sourced from right here in South West Victoria, supporting our region’s incredible farmers and local businesses—because community is at the core of everything we do.

Caramut is the perfect base for exploring some of Victoria’s most stunning destinations. Spend your days venturing out to the majestic Grampians, relaxing on the shores of Port Fairy, or discovering the coastal charm of Warrnambool—then head back to the comfort and character of the Caramut Hotel.

With a rich history, true country hospitality, and a genuine community spirit, the Caramut Hotel is more than just a pub—it’s a slice of the real Australia. So come on by, pull up a chair, and experience the heart and soul of the countryside.
