Royal Hotel Capertee — Restaurant in Capertee

The food and beverage and space downstairs was pretty good. The staff were lovely. They use lumps of coal on the fires which was interesting but smelt like burning rubber tyres. I prefer the smell of a wood fire.

As for the accommodation - just keep driving.

Rooms were extremely dusty (ridiculous level). Furniture old and broken. One small fan heater that was so dusty that it actually smelt like burning plastic when on. I had heater on to take edge off (it got to -6°c) before bed then turned it off, and the room just stank of burning plastic so bad that by 1am I gave up and opened door onto balcony for fresh air. There are signs everywhere about turning heaters and electric blankets off because the pub has burnt down twice before.....

Downstairs has been renovated and has a great look. Hopefully they will do something about the rooms. Beware any venue that does not show lots of photos of the rooms.

Walls were PAPER thin. Heard every word from rooms next door even thought they were not being noisy. I am a seasoned traveller and love pub stays but this was ridiculous. I was so sick the next day from allergies (usually very mild and easy to sort out) and the toxic smell that I lost a day of holiday. Not...

Freshly re-opened, the Capertee pub has now become a regular stop for me on this route. Previously, I would drive on by but since changing hands, the new operators seem to have a fresher and more modern way of doing business. The rooms are cleaner, the food is freshly made now and of a great alacarte standard. Of note for the beer drinker would be the pub standards along with some craft inclusions. Any pub with more than one Coopers tap will always grab my attention. Aesthetically, the vintage timber, stone and iron features within make the bar room a really inviting space. The dining room is very fresh and modern with a good outlook to the rear. While I didn't count them, there would easily be ten or more rooms above the pub, making this a cool cruise location for an overnight stay or even party venue? My partner made particular mention of the wonderful renovation in the ladies powder room too. I drive the Sydney-Mudgee road very frequently; and while there isn't really anything else in Capertee to stop for, the Pub is well worth it as a drive/revive...

Yet again the best experience of our long weekend bike rides is arriving at the Royal after a cold day riding,the hospitality is as warm as the multiple coal fires throughout the pub and the only cold you will experience is in a freshly poured beer!|We have stayed here on multiple occasions in the past and yet again Jordan the publican didn’t disappoint,he met us with his usual warm greeting before we even made it to the door and made us feel at home in this most beautiful part of Australia,the rooms are always immaculate and the electric blankets don’t go astray on winter nights,even after the pub (officially shut)on Sunday night Jordan stayed back for a few hours to chat with us and I think we could have solved all the problems in the world in his lounge room!|Many thanks my friend,your hard work and friendly staff make it hard to leave,but we will be back,hopefully...
