❤️ A LITTLE MESSAGE FROM THE FOUR OF US… ❤️
We’ve been trying to find the words to say this, because honestly, we’re still a little blown away.
When the four of us decided to take on the Cowwarr Hotel, we had a dream. We believed in this beautiful old pub, we believed in Cowwarr, and we believed we could bring something special back to our little community.
But we genuinely never expected this.
The support since opening our doors has been absolutely overwhelming. The number of people who have come through, the bookings, the coffees, the meals, the beers, the takeaways, the messages, the shares, the kind words and the familiar faces returning again and again…
You have absolutely blown us away. 🥹❤️
And we know we haven’t got everything perfect.
We’ve had new staff learning, new systems to navigate, extremely busy periods and moments where we’ve probably looked at each other and thought, “Holy hell… where did all these people come from?!” 😂
So to everyone who has waited a little longer than expected, been patient while we’ve worked things out, had a laugh with our staff and shown us understanding and kindness — thank you.
Please know that behind the scenes we are listening, learning, tweaking and improving every single day.
This place means so much more to us than simply opening a pub.
It was about bringing some life back into a beautiful old building, creating somewhere our locals could call their pub again, supporting our community and giving people another reason to stop in our little town.
We dreamed it.
Our families, friends, tradies and community helped us build it.
And all of you are now bringing it to life. ❤️
To our staff — thank you for jumping into the deep end with us and giving it everything you’ve got. We couldn’t do this without you.
And to every single person who has supported us in any way…
From Alison, Brett, Belinda & Matt — thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
We will never take your support for granted.
There’s still plenty more to come, plenty more to learn and probably a few more crazy days ahead… but we wouldn’t have it any other way.
🐄 The herd is well and truly gathering.
And bloody hell… what a herd it is. ❤️🍻
Thank you, Cowwarr. Thank you, Gippsland.
Get amongst the herd. 🐄
