Hotel closes until late spring

The hotel in Patonga is temporarily closed for renovations and is expected to re-open in late spring.

"After extensive consultation with the local community, work has commenced to improve the functioning of the bar and kitchen while retaining the hotel's character," said Boathouse Hotel proprietor Mr Andrew Goldsmith.

Owners of The Boathouse Group, Ms and Mr Pip and Andrew Goldsmith, purchased the hotel, formerly known as The Patonga Beach Hotel, in October.

"We operated the hotel as normal over summer so as to not inconvenience customers and local businesses during the peak holiday season," Mr Goldsmith said.

"It was also a good opportunity to learn how the hotel and town functioned together," said Mr Goldsmith.

"We look forward to improving the hotel in the coming months and making the hotel an establishment the local community is proud of.

"We apologise for any inconvenience and appreciate everyone's patience as we work to improve the Hotel," he said.
