The hotel was designed by Kenwood and Kerle and built by contractors McDonald Brothers at a cost of £3,078 for landlord George Croft. William Tory Dickson, formerly the proprietor of the New Brighton Hotel at Lady Robinsons Beach, became the first licensee. The hotel featured a "public bar, several parlours, dining room, billiard room, and 28 bedrooms". It was licensed on 28 September 1889. [2] [3] [4] The Sydney Mail praised its "colossal proportions and replete appointments". [3]

It closed on 1 April 1976, but was bought and restored by a new owner and reopened in January 1984. The name of the hotel was changed to the Heritage Hotel on 8 August 2000. [4]

Description
