The Dulacca Hotel (‘The Pink Pub’)
The Dulacca Hotel opened in July 1908. This 112 year old beauty has been a cornerstone of the Dulacca community providing a place for locals to meet for over a century. The hotel has had many licensees over the years, and it has experienced both times of prosperity and times of hardship. The country pub is an essential part of regional areas, which current publicans Danny and Natalie Scotney know too well. It is with their vision that the “Pink Pub” has become what it is today, a thriving centre of the community and a welcome place for tourists to call into on their way out west. They pride themselves on excellent customer service, restaurant quality food sourced locally where possible, and an extensive range of options for people from all walks of life.
