Hotel
The Theatre Royal Hotel is the West Coast`s only fully restored gold miners’ hotel, and once world-renowned theatre. Our historic gold rush Hotel features six themed ensuite rooms. Each room is unique, with its blend of Victorian decor, antique furnishings and modern amenities. The hotel bar and restaurant is open daily.
Whether you are a history buff, an intrepid explorer, a Kiwi neighbour, a discerning traveler, or fun lover, the Theatre Royal Hotel knows how to look after you! We invite you to come and discover the colourful past of Kumara, which featured the Last Great Gold Rush and was the home of N.Z.’s longest serving Premier, Richard John Seddon.
Our lovingly restored hotel rooms feature antique furnishings and sumptuous bedding. Each room is named after an historical figure with a connection to the hotel’s rich past.
You could be in ‘Annie’s Room’, named after the original proprietress of the Theatre Royal; German born Annie Anderson ruled the roost for 40 years! Or perhaps it will be ‘King Dicks’ Room named after our most famous resident, Richard John Seddon who was Kumara`s first mayor and N.Z`s longest serving Premier.
Each room features a contemporary ensuite with shower and double vanity. We have one accessible room on the ground floor and five rooms on the first floor accessed by stairs.
These spacious elegant new cottages are situated directly behind the main hotel and feature large outdoor decks with lovely peaceful, private bush views.
The cottages have one large bedroom featuring two single beds (these beds can make into a king upon request). In the large light open studio / bed sitting room there is one king bed that can be converted into twin singles upon request. One cottage is wheelchair accessible. The cottages sleep 4 people.
Cottages include:
From all cottages you can walk through the garden to the Theatre Royal Hotel bar and restaurant.
