TEMPORARILY CLOSED
The Border Inn Hotel - BUSINESS FOR SALE !
TEMPORARY CLOSURE
Due to the ongoing COVID situation in Melbourne & the border restrictions on the SA’s visiting Victoria, we have made the decision to temporarily close the doors @ The Border Inn. 😞
This will hopefully be a short term situation until it all improves for the hospitality industry & living life on the border.
We have been incredibly grateful to the local community for your massive support over the past year.
Another note of appreciation is to shout out to our staff, especially Tam & her great crew & of course Rob & Di. This has obviously been a very difficult time for us.
We look forward to ‘herd immunity’ & restrictions easing.
Thank you! 🙏
