Interstate Hotel

 

Built in 1911 the Interstate Hotel is one of the many historic buildings in Whitemark, the heritage-style Interstate, as the locals know it, has been in the care of the Aitken family for more than 50 years. The public bar looks like your average public bar is open 7 days a week and is a great location to call in, meet the locals especially on a Friday night and enjoy the Island hospitality.

Just three kilometres from Whitemark airport, close to the wharf, shops, galleries, golf course and a variety of recreational facilities, the Interstate Hotel is the perfect setting for your Flinders Island holiday. From the verandah you will have magnificent views of the Strzelecki Ranges and Whitemark township.

The entry and restaurant area underwent a major renovation about 15 years ago to bring it back to the days of old with lots of lead-light and it is holding up well. Bistro Dinner Monday to Saturday in the totally refurbished lounge, with a restaurant menu designed for all appetites specialising in fresh, local seafood, with local lamb and Wallaby coming soon. Come along and try the famous pub roast on Saturday nights. The rooms upstairs have high ceilings and labyrinthine corridors, typical of a historic building.
