Before Naracoorte was Naracoorte, there was Kincraig.

Not the hotel. The township.

Back in 1848, William Macintosh had a township laid out and called it Kincraig, after the part of Scotland he came from.

Later, the Government laid out another township across the creek, known as Narracoorte.

For a while, there were two sections. Kincraig on one side, Narracoorte on the other. And from what old newspaper articles tell us, there was a bit of local rivalry between the two.

Eventually, the bridge over the creek helped bring the two together, and the name Naracoorte is the one that stayed.

But Kincraig never really disappeared.
You can still find the Kincraig name all around Naracoorte.
A little piece of town history hiding in plain sight.

Did you know Kincraig was once the name of the township?

Someone left us a review after lunch the other week saying they were coming back again with another group because they were “excited to show us off.”

And that is exactly what we love to hear.

Lunch shouldn’t just be a quick meal in the middle of the day. It can be somewhere you bring the girls, your parents, a workmate, or whoever needs to see what the Kincraig is looking like now.

A booth by the window.
A few plates in the middle.
Maybe the roasted pork belly with rice vermicelli noodle salad, if that’s your thing.

And if you’re making a weekday lunch of it, the $26.90 lunch bundle is there Monday to Friday.

Tonight in the Courtyard

Ski for Life Mates On a Mission is stopping in at the Kincraig courtyard for a free community chat with Ben Pettingill

Ben will be sharing his story, from losing most of his eyesight overnight at 16, to the lessons he’s carried around resilience, mental wellbeing, and keeping good people around you.

The session starts at 7:30pm tonight in the courtyard.

If you're coming in early for a feed before hand we highly recommend booking a table.

Anyone from a regional town knows it’s the people who make a place feel like home.

So when we were getting the Kincraig ready to open again, it mattered to us that the team was made up of local faces. People who knew what it was like to drive past this building while it sat quiet, and who understand what it means to see it full again.

Polishing glasses, running meals, greeting people at the door, they’re the little things, but they’re what make a place feel looked after.

And it feels good having that back here.

Breakfast for you, and breakfast on us for the little one in tow.

Monday to Friday, when you order any full-priced adult breakfast item, we’ll include a complimentary kids breakfast.

Handy for the mornings after school drop-off, the days when you’ve still got one small person with you, or the rare moment Mum might actually get to drink her coffee while it’s hot.

Available weekdays at the Kincraig.

Just over 30 years sitting between these photos.

Now, late 1980s, and early 1990s - three different looks for the same dining room.

A few of you may remember that mustardy wallpaper in the second photo. From what we’ve been told, it wasn’t always quite that colour, the years of people being able to smoke inside had left its mark.

By the early 1990s, the room had moved to those light blue walls. Funny enough, when we started our own restoration, not knowing that had been part of the room’s history, we landed on a soft grey with a blue tinge to sit with the Art Deco carpet and timber tones we’d chosen.

And the fireplace? Still sitting there, exactly where it always has. We’ve upgraded it to electric, but that exposed brick detail has stayed.

We love looking back at photos like these. They show all the little chapters this room has had, and how many people have sat, worked, celebrated and eaten here over the years.

Who remembers the dining room looking like this?

Why just get one..
.when you can get 2 for 1?

There's so much to explore around us here in Naracoorte.

Coffee and breakfast downstairs to start the day, the Naracoorte Caves just out of town, Coonawarra, Wrattonbully and Padthaway wine regions close by, and Robe or Beachport near enough for a sightseeing day trip.

Then back here when you're done exploring, dinner in the restaurant, a glass of something local, and a cosy room to return to.

Being in the Heart of the Limestone Coast makes the Kincraig the perfect place to explore from.

The foyer restored to her former glory.

People coming in for a drink and a meal.
Accommodation guests heading upstairs.
A few stopping by to look at the historical prints on the walls.

Then you swipe to the last slide and remember how she looked when we first became her custodian.

Same old Kincraig, now community-connected.
