Snacks and Dining

For arguably the best views in Khancoban, head up the hill to the Khancoban Country Club. Share a seafood platter (it’s too big for one!) and then sit back with a glass of your favourite beer or wine and enjoy the view over one of the most picturesque 9 hole golf courses in Australia. Some say the course favours left-handers but this is usually right-handers’ when their ball goes bush!

The Khancoban General Store opens at 6.30am where Clive and Glenda will serve you a lavish breakfast with great coffee while you read the paper in front of the wood fire. They also have all the supplies you will need if you are staying in a cabin, cottage or camping. For lunch, they have a full menu from hamburgers to toasted sandwiches and of course, the humble meat pie. There is also a private room available for meetings or conferences.

Shane’O’s Café is open from 10am, and is a great place for smoko or lunch with a full menu from sandwiches to a plate of fish and chips. They also have a great selection of homemade cakes and slices and a fantastic range of teas and coffee. If you are in town for dinner they also do pizzas in the evening – watch out for the hot one, it’s a beaut! They also cater for special occasions with a BYO licence.

If you are looking to stay in hotel accommodation, then the Alpine Inn is the place to be. Local character Kurt cooks up a storm with his seasonal menu. The pub has a wide variety of beers and an extensive wine list. You will find many of the local characters here, who are keen for a chat, as are the friendly bar staff.

Want to find out how Khancoban was established? Travel 10kms up the road to the Murray 1 Power Station where you can enjoy a coffee and snack and find out the history of the Snowy Mountain Scheme.  The visitors centre offers visitors an exciting interactive experience with a wide range of displays, hands on exhibits and models. You can also go for a fascinating tour through the power station itself. Bring your School or group along – it’s worth the visit.

We welcome Sam and Jess, the new proprietors of the Khancoban Roadhouse. Sam handles the fuel pumps while Jess runs the cafe. While filling up have a look at the extensive range of fishing gear – there’s everything the enthusiastic angler requires. In the cafe you can get great coffee and cakes, sandwiches and Mrs Mac’s pies. If you’re after breakfast try one of their egg and bacon rolls, all served with a smile from the friendly staff.
