The Glencairn Hotel

HotelGlencairn2008

'The Glen' has been one of the Far South's watering holes since 1904. Initially a private residence, it was later established as a grand hotel.

HotelGlencairn1904

The requirements of the modern traveller have been worked into the rejuvenation of the Hotel in a commitment to creating a venue that feels “Just Right”.

8 clean double rooms with en - suite, a restaurant and a pub occupy the main building.

Along the parking area in front there is a Curry Station, A pizza shop, a tourist information bureau, and Pisces dive centre.

Coming soon are a biker coffee bar and a shark information office. Come for a visit and stay as long as you like...

DID YOU KNOW? Southern right whale populations are showing a slow increase since international protection in 1935 when over-exploitation nearly eradicated the species. There are estimated to be approximately 3 000 to 4 000 currently surviving in the southern hemisphere.
