The Towai Tavern offers great pub meals and also provide overnight parking for self-contained motor caravanners.

 

We called in on a sunny Sunday afternoon when we noticed two other motorhomes parked outside. We chatted to the two owners about their plans for creating a large all weather lakefront motorhome parking area at the back of the property, complete with toilets and showers. That's on schedule for around mid-2019.

 

Until then, if you fancy a generous pub meal and then parking overnight, there is on grass parking at the back of the tavern. Just be sure to ask inside first. There's plenty of road front parking while you do.

 

The owners have recently rennovated the bar and restaurant area, and the meals on the menu looked good. The owners have a quirky sense of humour with the female mannequins try to find their way in to the upper floor.

 

We'll look forward to returning in 6 months to see how they've progressed with the campsite.
