Naracoorte’s iconic Kincraig Hotel has officially come back to life, reopening its doors on April 14 after 18 months of extensive restoration by new owners, the Dean Group.

The multimillion-dollar, five-star redevelopment delivers a fresh, family-focused venue for the town, featuring 24 modern accommodation rooms, corporate meeting spaces, an open bar, and a dining area complete with a children’s play space.

Driven by a mission to “connect locals through locals,” the revitalised hotel aims to strengthen community ties while boosting the local economy and creating new jobs.
