A new chapter for a local favourite
Family-run & locally owned
Now under new ownership, Bannockburn Hotel is being shaped by locals who care about creating a place people genuinely enjoy spending time in. The focus is simple — good food, good drinks, friendly service.
As a family-run business, Jason and Clare’s goal is to create a welcoming space for everyone — whether you’re a local popping in for a quiet beer, catching up with friends over dinner, or visiting Central Otago for the first time. No fuss, just a warm atmosphere, great hospitality, and a pub that feels like part of the community.
A Slice Of Central Otago History
Dating back to 1862, Bannockburn Hotel has been part of the region for generations.
While plenty has changed around it over the years, the old pub still holds onto the charm and character that make it such a well-known stop in Central Otago.
From gold rush days through to the thriving wine region it is today, Bannockburn Hotel has long been a place where people come together over good food, drinks, and conversation.
