The geographical heart of New South Wales is in new hands as owner-operator Tom Cutcliffe passes the Tottenham Hotel to investors.
Built in 1931, the classic two-storey red brick pub features ornate parapets and a full wrap-around veranda, covering a sizeable portion of its prominent 2,023sqm corner block.
It lays claim to being the only licensed hotel in town, and is a cornerstone of the Central West community of Tottenham – renowned as “The Soul of The Centre” due to its proximity to the cairn (geographic marker) representing the centre point of the State, around 165 kilometres west of Dubbo.
Recent renovations and meticulously maintenance have preserved the century-old hotel’s historical charm, while enhancing its facilities.
At street level is a main bar, commercial kitchen and bistro, gaming room with three machines, and a beer garden. Upstairs there are 13 accommodation rooms and a three-bedroom manager’s residence.
The business also counts a fully functional two-court squash centre, providing further revenue opportunities. It reports strong performance across all departments, generating weekly revenues (FY23) of roughly $23K.
Tottenham is an agricultural region producing grain, lamb, wool and beef that straddles arterial highway The Bogan Way, nearly 500 kilometres north-west of Sydney.
After years of dedication, Tom Cutcliffe listed the property in 2024, through Manenti Quinlan & Associates, in conjunction with Moore and Moore Real Estate.
It has now been purchased by private syndicate KNEUMO Hospitality group for $1.53 million. Based on the north coast, KNEUMO already has some hospitality assets but are said to be “looking for a tree change”.
“The sale of the Tottenham Hotel underscores the enduring appeal of well-positioned, high-performing regional hospitality assets,” offers Bongiovanni.
“The hotel’s rich history, combined with solid trading figures and diverse revenue streams, made it a well-received and attractive proposition.”
