This page sets out those answers and keeps confirmed listing facts apart from claims made by a single reviewer. A 2018 guest review describes the bistro as open seven days a week, so confirm hours before you travel.

Sources reviewed: review platform listings (Tripadvisor), booking platform listings (Booking.com, Airpaz), campsite directories (Anycamp, Campertunity), a travel guide profile (The Middle of Everywhere), and a map listing (MapQuest).
We made no on-site visit, staff interview, live price or availability check, or fire and sale record check beyond the provided inputs, and we could not confirm the founding date, former name or photo count, so this page leaves them out.

What is Dargo Victoria known for?
The sources describe Dargo Hotel as a historic pub with rooms, a bar, a bistro and a campsite. Tripadvisor’s property description reads “Historic Iconic Dargo Hotel. Cold Beer, Hearty Yummy Meals, Warm Cosy Accommodation.” Listed amenities include free parking, a bar or lounge, a restaurant, a gift shop and air conditioning on Tripadvisor, and cycling, hiking, a pool table, a game room, fishing and temporary art galleries on Booking.com.
None of the sources we reviewed gives a founding date, a former name or a renovation history for the property, so this page states none of them.
The Dargo Hotel is an iconic High Country Pub that turns on the charm each and every time you visit.
The Middle of Everywhere, travel guide profile
A Campertunity listing describes the campsite behind the pub with toilets, showers, swimming, pets allowed and fires allowed. That listing carries an AI-generated 4.0 rating, so we give the rating no weight.
Note: Dargo River Inn is a separate property in Dargo, and search results for it can be mixed with this hotel. The Dargo Hotel listings use Lind Avenue or Bridge Road addresses, so check the address before you book.
Dargo Hotel menu
None of the sources we reviewed publishes a full menu or menu prices. A guest review from August 2018 praises the lamb cutlets and describes the bistro as open seven days a week. The Middle of Everywhere lists kitchen service at 12:00 to 2:00 PM for lunch and 6:00 to 8:00 PM for dinner.
Dargo Hotel fire
None of the sources we reviewed records a fire at the property, and our inputs contain no fire reports or local news coverage. Readers who need an incident history should search local news archives, which we did not search.
Who owns the Dargo Hotel
The sources we reviewed name no owner, operator or management company for the property. Our evidence also contains no sale record, no sale price and no sale listing.
Dargo Hotel sale history
No dated sale or ownership transfer is recorded in our evidence, so no sale history can be confirmed here. Property records held by the relevant Victorian government agency would settle the question; we did not search them.
Dargo Hotel for sale price
Our evidence contains no asking price or sale figure. The only price figures in it are guest rates: a standard-room range of AU$202 to AU$218 on Tripadvisor, and campsite fees reported by individual reviewers.
The catch: any owner name published online needs checking against official records, because nothing in our evidence confirms one.
Dargo Hotel prices
Standard room: AU$202 to AU$218, based on Tripadvisor’s average rates for a standard room.
Campsite: an AU$10 per person nightly fee for river-side camping, reported by one Anycamp reviewer.
Campsite key: an AU$50 deposit to collect the gate key, reported by one Anycamp reviewer.
Cabin hire: an AU$175 charge for a booking believed to be for two, plus AU$180 for beds used and towels, reported by one Tripadvisor reviewer.
The Tripadvisor listing refers to nightly room rates, but our evidence holds no dated room rate beyond the range above. Booking.com lists the room types without prices in our evidence, so current rates must be checked on the booking pages that list the property.
Tip: Confirm the current room rate, and the campsite fee and key deposit, before you arrive. The figures above come from listings and individual reviews, not from a current price check.
The trade-off: the room range is the only room price on a listing platform in our evidence, while the campsite and cabin figures come from individual guests and could have changed since they were written.
Dargo Hotel reviews
The Tripadvisor listing shows 73 traveler reviews and a rating of 3.9 of 5. Its sub-scores are Location 4.6, Rooms 4.3, Value 4.3, Service 4.2, Cleanliness 3.9 and Sleep Quality 3.5. Booking.com shows a rating of 8 from recent guests.
The review text we could read praises the historic character of the hotel, its friendly staff and its wood fireplace in several reviews, while other reviews describe prices as high for basic accommodation. One anonymous Tripadvisor reviewer wrote:
Staff are quite uninterested in working let alone giving customer service. Venue is in much need of maintenance.
Anonymous Tripadvisor reviewer, guest
That is one reviewer’s account, and our evidence does not date the review, so it does not establish the property’s current condition.
Dargo Hotel photos
Our evidence does not record a photo count for the listing, so this page does not compare photos with reviews. Check the photos on each listing page to see the rooms and campsite, because our sources describe those spaces only briefly.
What to watch: the lowest Tripadvisor sub-score is Sleep Quality at 3.5, and Cleanliness sits at 3.9.

Alternatives within this property
Our evidence names Dargo River Inn only as a separate property, so the options below compare the accommodation types listed for Dargo Hotel.
- Standard room: the only published room rate, AU$202 to AU$218, on Tripadvisor.
- Family, Twin, Triple or Double room: the four room types listed on Booking.com.
- Campsite with cabins or powered sites: the Anycamp listing, with fees reported by one reviewer.
No source in our evidence confirms a five-bedroom house, so this page does not list one. For other hotel profiles on this site, read Buchan Caves Hotel: Menu, Reviews, Prices, and Location or Apollo Bay Hotel: Verified Facts, Location & Reviews.
Our pick for your need
For travelers comparing room options: choose the standard room if you want a published rate, since AU$202 to AU$218 is the only room price in our evidence. Confirm that rate on the booking page before you commit.
For campers: choose the campsite if you want cabins or powered sites, but confirm the AU$10 nightly fee and the AU$50 key deposit directly, because both come from individual reviewers.
For readers checking ownership and sale status: no pick applies, because the evidence names no owner and holds no sale record. Check official property records instead.
Find the property on a map
A MapQuest listing under the name Dargo Hotel & Motel gives the same Lind Avenue address and a 4.0 rating. A guest on that listing called the pub an iconic, historical mountain bush pub. The listing is low-confidence in our notes, so treat its rating as a single-platform figure.
