The Yuna Tavern has local historic and social significance for the role the hotel has played in the social and community life in a country town.
The Yuna Tavern is a single storied building of rendered brick construction with a hipped corrugated iron roof – green in colour. The front verandah porch has a flat roof supported on wide brick pillars. To the western end is the old Store building while there is a concrete block addition to the eastern end. The roofscape is punctuated by two chimneys which were originally considerably taller according to old photographs of the building.
The Yuna Hotel opened its doors on 29 August 1940, and the first licensees were Tom and Sylvia Nulsen. The licence had been transferred from the Old Rockwell Hotel, the Plough and Harrow. On 28 November 1977 the premises were granted a tavern licence and the name changed from being the Yuna Hotel to the Yuna Tavern, as there were no longer accommodation facilities.
