The Royal Hotel has 16 traditional pub-style rooms. All rooms have shared bathrooms and are located on the upstairs level of the Hotel.
The first timber version of the hotel was built around 1840, but it tragically burnt down in the early 1890s. The story goes that the ladies of the community were fed up with their men spending too much time at the pub, so they torched it!
The original timber building was replaced with the stone building in 1880, and it is still standing proudly today. In 1880, the hotel became a railhead (where a railway line ends). In the old days, it used to be a three-week trip to Sydney, but suddenly, the railway line arrived, and the trip became less than 24 hours.
Back then, there were more than 3,500 people living here, whereas the numbers have now dwindled to just 180. Fire seems to be a recurring theme at The Royal because in 1930, a travelling salesman left a candle next to a window and the curtains caught alight. But just as the fabled phoenix arises from the ashes, so too does the Royal Hotel Capertee.
