Origins of the Royal Hotel Kew

Original Build 1891

The building was originally known as 'The Stables' in 1891 and was owned by George Perkins. 

According to the Kendall Heritage Society, the hotel provided a vital changeover place for horses drawing coaches from Taree to Port Macquarie during the last 1800s. The last coach service left Taree northbound on February 31, 1913. 

The first beer was served at the hotel in October 1894 after a liquor licence was granted in the same year.

Fire of 1925

The business temporarily moved next door when the hotel partially burnt down in 1925.

A newspaper article published by the Manning River Times in May 1925 said the fire could be seen from Taree.
"It is thought the fire started in a room at the back of the bar," the article states.

"The building, which contained 20 rooms, was a mass of ruins in about an hour and a half”.

"A few articles of furniture and cases of beer were saved”.
The hotel was rebuilt in 1926.
