New Norcia Hotel

The New Norcia Hotel spans two floors, constructed from stone with a wide stairway leading to a passageway containing guest rooms on both sides.

The building opened in 1927 as a hostel for travelers and families of students attending the New Norcia colleges within Australia's only monastic town.

The hotel received recognition on the Register of the National Estate in 1980 and National Trust classification in 1991, marking its architectural importance.

The establishment contained fifteen rooms along with dining facilities, representing the first instance of a religious organization obtaining a hotel license in Australia.

During its early operation, the hotel generated its own electricity which stopped at 9 PM, requiring guests to use candles for illumination during nighttime.
