Book NowAbout Anakie General Store
An essential pit stop at the foot of the Brisbane Ranges, Anakie General Store pairs country roadhouse hospitality with a surprisingly broad spread. It is the kind of old-school milk bar where you fill the tank, grab Australia Post essentials, and settle in. Travellers make detours for the house-made sausage rolls, freshly packed schnitzel rolls, and dim sims crafted in-house by owner Andrew. Hikers spilling off the trails gather across eight-seater tables over bowls of hot chips with gravy, cold pints at the bar, or a quiet lager in the outdoor beer garden.
- House-Crafted Hot Snacks: House-made sausage rolls, scratch-made dim sims by owner Andrew, and schnitzel burgers prepared fresh for the road.
- All-in-One Roadhouse Hub: Fuel pumps, Australia Post counter, dine-in bistro, licensed bar, and beer garden in one convenient halt.
- Post-Trail Gathering Spot: Spacious eight-seater tables ready for hiking groups unwinding over hot chips, gravy, cold beers, and wine.
