ANNUAL SUMMER CLOSURE EXTENDED
7 December 2020 - mid April 2021
The Prairie Hotel and all associated services, including the Parachilna Community Campground, are currently CLOSED.
Our annual summer closure has provided us with the opportunity to undertake extensive bar & restaurant renovations to make way for the installation of our exciting brewery project!
Unforeseen delays & supply issues have created uncertainty that renovations will be completed for our previously anticipated early-mid March reopening. To avoid any disappointment & rescheduling of bookings, we will now be accepting bookings from the 14th of April onwards.
Stay up to date on our social media as the Prairie moves into the next era!
All enquiries by email only to reservations@prairiehotel.com.au
