Step into history and experience a timeless Australian pub reimagined for today. The Hunter River Hotel has been a cornerstone of the Maitland community since the 1830s. Originally established as the Maitland Wine Vaults by ex-convicts John and Elizabeth Mayo, this iconic venue has a rich history of bringing people together. From its early days hosting lively shooting matches in “Mayo’s paddock” to serving as a stop for the Newcastle coach, the Hunter River Hotel has long been a hub of connection, celebration, and community spirit.
Today, we honour that storied legacy with an exciting new chapter. Our recent refurbishments have transformed the pub into a stunning fusion of modern federation style, paying homage to its heritage while offering a fresh, vibrant atmosphere. Whether you’re enjoying a drink in the revamped Sports Bar, indulging in your favourite pub classics or our new elevated pub fare in the HRH Brasserie, or relaxing with friends while the kids play in our beer garden, you’ll find the perfect blend of history and modern charm.
Our renovations give a nod to the original colonial regency architecture, offering an inviting and stylish space for all.
For nearly two centuries, we’ve been a place to gather, connect, and make memories. Come and be part of the tradition.
Whether you’re a local or a visitor, the Hunter River Hotel is your home away from home for young and old..
There’s no better time to rediscover the Hunter River Hotel. With its rich history, modern upgrades, and vibrant atmosphere, it’s the perfect place to relax, celebrate, and connect with the Maitland community. Come see the transformation and become part of our story!
