Origin and experiences at the tavern

In 2010, a major earthquake rocked Heathcote and the original Valley Inn Tavern did not survive the event. Thankfully, it was reconstructed and today it looks majestic. Only a few features of the establishment are from the old building. They include a brick lined well, and the pepper trees outside the tavern. Upon walking in, you can see its history captured in photos, paintings and memorabilia from the tavern’s past. For more than a century, the establishment has been the core of Heathcote Valley and shows no signs of losing it’s charm.
