Pastoral Hotel

The Pastoral Hotel serves as a central social hub for the small community of Ballimore. Located approximately 30 kilometres east of Dubbo, this establishment offers a standard range of draught beers and spirits alongside a menu of classic Australian pub meals. The venue maintains its original character as a rural stopover, providing a relaxed environment for residents and visitors to gather. Its position on the Golden Highway makes it a convenient break point for those travelling between central and western New South Wales. Beyond its food and beverage service, the hotel provides basic pub-style accommodation suitable for individual travellers and work crews. The outdoor area offers space for groups to congregate during warmer months, while the interior features traditional bar facilities. Situated near the Talbragar River, the hotel is a practical base for exploring the surrounding agricultural landscape or accessing the regional services of nearby Dubbo. The focus remains on functional service and reliable hospitality within a quiet regional setting.
