Royal Hotel Capertee

The Royal Hotel is your hub for all things Capertee, whether you are visiting the Capertee Valley (the 2nd largest Canyon in the World), or the Turon River, whether you are bushwalking, camping, birdwatching, fishing, or even gold panning, make the Royal Hotel your Central Point. The last Pub/Hotel left on the Castlereagh Highway (Mudgee Road), the main road between Lithgow and Mudgee, the Royal Hotel has everything you need for your trip. The Royal Hotel is rich with history, the first timber version of the hotel was built around 1840 but it tragically burnt down in the early 1894. The story goes that the ladies in 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 a stone building in 1895 and it still stands proudly today. In 1880 the hotel became a railhead (where a railway line ends).
