Historical information

The hotel was built in 1862 for Joseph T. Monger on Pensioner Guard lots S8 and S10 on New Street, later renamed Stirling Terrace, Toodyay.
The hotel was licensed in 1863 as the Newcastle Hotel. In 1870 Monger transferred the licence to J.G. Findell. In 1872 Ebenezer Martin took over the licence; he was replaced in 1874 by Thomas Donegan who only held the licence for a year before handing it on to W.G Leeder. In 1877 Leeder became the owner of the property.
The site was developed further in the late 1890s with the construction of a pair of parapeted fronted shops abutting the hotel at 84 Stirling Terrace. The mill ceased operations in 1908, but was later converted to a skating rink for the townspeople and was also used as a picture theatre, with the operator - Palace Picture Shows - bringing its own electric lighting plant. In 2013 the hotel, which had been renamed the Toodyay Tavern, ceased operating as licenced premises. In 2021 the property opened as the Toodyay Manor providing accommodation for visitors.
