About The Normy

The Normanville Hotel was established in 1851 by Dr Robert Norman, making it one of South Australia’s oldest Hotels. It is also one of the longest continuously family operated hotels in South Australia, having been owned and operated by members of our family since 1973. It continues to be an important local landmark and meeting place for locals and visitors to the region alike.

“The Normy” (as it is known locally) offers a wide range of services including dining, functions, bars, accommodation, gaming, off-premise sales, wine-tasting, art displays and entertainment. We are strongly committed to the provision of responsible service of alcohol and gambling services.

We have a continuing focus on showcasing fresh, quality products sourced from local Fleurieu Coast suppliers. Our chefs delight in using quality local products in our delicious meals and our bottleshop continues to feature wines from the Southern Fleurieu Wine Region.

Social and Environmental Responsibility

We were proud to be the principal partner of the 2015 Festival Fleurieu. We are a regular sponsor and supporter of many local sporting and community groups. We host charity collection tins in the bar and bottle-shop and engage in activities to raise money for selected charities.

We also strive to reduce our ecological footprint through our operations including reducing food- miles through local purchasing of stock, recycling, installation of solar panels and use of renewable firewood supplies.

About Normanville

Normanville (postcode 5204) is a small coastal holiday town in the Fleurieu Coast, South Australia. The Bungala River flows through the town and the mouth of the river is located at the Normanville foreshore.

The town has a rich heritage and was founded by a dentist named Dr Robert Norman in 1850. The Hotel was one of the first buildings in the town. The town eventually grew to become a successful wheat exporting area, using the nearby jetty at the current Normanville Beach as a port for ships. Today, with its lovely clean sandy beach, Normanville is a popular summer holiday destination. In recent years and in response to the rise in tourism, the town has seen growth in the number, range and quality of food and accommodation services offered.

The Fleurieu Coast

Normanville lies close to many tourist attractions including:

• Popular Fleurieu Coast beaches such as Normanville, Carrickalinga, Myponga Beach, Second Valley and Rapid Bay
• Local golf courses at Normanville and Wirrina
• Deep Creek Conservation Park
• Myponga Reservoir
• Ingallala Falls
• Historic and art trails

The Fleurieu Coast region extends from Sellicks to Cape Jervis and Inman Valley to the coast. It is an area of around 750 square km of mainly grazing land with pine forests and conservation reserves. The residential population is about 4,500 but this number swells over summer with holiday makers.

The main transport route to Kangaroo Island passes through the Fleurieu Coast.

The Fleurieu Coast region offer many excellent activities for holiday makers including sightseeing, bushwalking, golfing, fishing, diving, swimming, snorkelling and camping.
