❤️ A Little Update from the Bendoc Hotel ❤️

As many of you know, we recently lost our beautiful mum, Shelly, and this Thursday we will be gathering with family and friends to celebrate her life and say our final goodbyes.

Since Mum's passing, we've kept ourselves busy and the doors open, but sometimes you need to give yourself a little time to stop, reflect and grieve.

With that in mind, the Bendoc Hotel will be operating as normal on Wednesday and Saturday, but will be closed Thursday 29th and Friday 30th October.

🍻 Wednesday 28th – Open as normal
❤️ Thursday 29th – CLOSED
❤️ Friday 30th – CLOSED
🍻 Saturday 31st – Open as normal

We sincerely appreciate the love, kindness and support our little community has shown us over the past few weeks. It has meant more than words can express.

Thank you for your understanding and for giving us this time with our family.

Much love,
Jon & Caroline ❤️

🎯🐾 THURSDAY NIGHT = RAFFLES & DARTS AT THE BENDOC HOTEL! 🐾🎯

For the next month, every dollar raised through our Thursday night raffles will be donated to Working Paws Australia. 🇦🇺🐕‍🦺

Right now, they’re helping raise funds for a couple of retired veteran Military Working Dogs who need medical care — dogs that spent their working lives serving alongside our Defence personnel and now deserve the very best care in retirement. ❤️

Working Paws Australia do some incredible work behind the scenes, supporting our retired Military Working Dogs and helping make sure they receive the after-service care, treatment and support they have earned.

So come down, grab some raffle tickets, have a crack at the Single Knockout Darts, enjoy a drink and help us put some money behind a bloody worthy cause. 🍻🎯

These dogs served too.
Now it’s our turn to look after them. 🐾🇦🇺
Can’t make it to the pub but still want to help? You can donate directly to Working Paws Australia here:

The more tickets we sell, the more we can send their way — so get around it, Bendoc! ❤️
