The story of Kalimna Hotel started in 1886, with the opening of the hotel, this was only four years after the very first hotel opened in Lakes Entrance. It was thought Kalimna and Jemmy’s Point offered the best scenery to be found in the lakes. We totally agree, we think the Kalimna Hotel has the best views of any hotel in Australia! The Kalimna Hotel is an historic pub in a picturesque coastal location that is popular with families and young active adults for year-round getaways, fishing and camping and outdoor recreation.
