Description

The Royal Hotel began life as Dawick’s Buffet, an unlicensed boarding house and restaurant in the 1890’s established by Samuel Dawick. In 1913 the licence of the Royal Hotel on the corner of The Square and Rangitikei Street was transferred to Dawick’s and it became known as the “New Royal Hotel”, run by George Lvoni. The Royal Hotel was granted a tavern licence in 1971 and was known as the Royal Tavern. The Royal Tavern is listed in category 2 of the New Zealand Historic Places Trust register because of its historical, architectural and community significance.
