Wallaroo Hotel — village social hub

The living pub at the heart of Coolatai — meals, rooms and verandah yarns in a village surveyed in 1902.

Geographical relevance: Continuing hotel lineage from the 1903 Coolatai village hotel — still the social centre.

Coolatai’s hotel lineage starts with the 1903 building for Edward Parr (first licensee William J. Parr). Today the Wallaroo Hotel remains the village’s social hub for travellers and locals. Pair a meal or overnight stay with free camping at the sports ground and day trips to Kwiambal. See also the eat/accommodation directory entries for current contact details.
