THE KENT HOTEL
“The Kent” as it’s affectionately known has been at the heart of the Hamilton community since 1924 and one of the first hospitality venues within the bustle of Beaumont Street. Its 90-year anniversary restoration has brought it back to its days of glory. This iconic pub is Hunt Hospitality’s flagship for environmental and sustainable standards, with the education of staff, patrons and choice of suppliers. The Bistro is Locavore – real and sustainable food sourced on its local geographic origins including a wide range of menu and beverage items for our Vegan patrons.
THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON
Since 1876 “The Duke”, nestled in the New Lambton Village, was the cornerstone of the thriving mining community. Today the Hotel is still the hub to meet for a great affordable meal, or to celebrate or commiserate on a team win. Hunt Hospitality staff are always invested in lending a hand with local sporting clubs or supporting families in need. The pub is legendary, and known for the vibe as soon as you walk in… whether you’re a local or visiting for the first time – The welcome mat is always at the door.
SEABREEZE HOTEL
The breeze just sweeps you away at this exclusive bay side venue. Perfect for family get-togethers, coffee dates, casual dinning or a catch up with friends. “The Seabreeze” is only minutes away from Nelson Bay’s Marina, pristine beaches, and central to the shopping precinct and boasts an inviting modern chic beach style design. Nelson Bay is the ultimate tourist getaway and Hunt Hospitality has transformed the Seabreeze Hotel into a must go destination, with beautifully appointed boutique boathouse accommodation.
