Established1976

Blaxland Inn is a steakhouse on the 28-acre Blaxland Estate along Broke Road, run from a sandstone building first raised in 1976 as Blaxland's Barn using bricks from the historic Blaxland homestead. The kitchen leans into steak and hearty country cooking. Breakfast is served daily, with dinner on Friday and Saturday, plus two and three-course Locals nights on Monday and Tuesday at $54 and $64.

A private dining room handles groups and weddings, coaches are welcome, and group menus run for twelve or more, with a group breakfast from $35 a head including a glass of Peterson House sparkling. A courtesy bus runs to nearby accommodation on weekend evenings, which settles the transport question after dinner. It suits a group or a family after a straightforward steak rather than a tasting menu.
