Where Peter Allen spent much of his childhood, Tenterfield is located on the northern tip of the NSW New England Tablelands and just 20 minutes from Queensland’s Granite Belt Wine Region which includes Ballandean & Stanthorpe. The family-owned and managed Commercial Boutique Hotel in the heart of Tenterfield offers the perfect location to eat, drink & relax. Our 8 luxury bedrooms, restored with meticulous care, are perfect for your weekend getaway or a corporate retreat. This standard of architectural restoration and interior decoration is extremely rare in country Australia.
Sink into a leather couch by the open-fire in winter (or air-conditioning in the summer), and admire the 1940’s Art Deco architecture while you enjoy our unique list of craft-beer & wines which pay tribute to local and Australian brewers and wine-makers. Be impressed by the quality of our dining experience, always with something unexpected to delight in. Wherever possible we source from local producers, in particular for the highest quality beef, free-range eggs, fresh fruit & vegetables, and from time-to-time even Tenterfield heritage-breed chickens.
After unwinding downstairs, our individually-styled rooms with double-glazed windows, modern stylish ensuites and pillow-top queen-size beds will provide the highest quality sleep so that following your stay you will feel like you’re floating out of town. The Commercial Boutique Hotel also has one beautiful wheelchair-friendly & pet-friendly room (pets must be pre-approved).
After you’ve unpacked, step outside and you’ll find yourself in the heart of old Tenterfield. From your central base, you can connect with Peter Allen’s childhood by visiting the Tenterfield Saddler, explore the unexpectedly stunning countryside, play a round of golf at one of Australia’s premier country clubs, visit local wineries & craft breweries, discover the history at the Sir Henry Parkes museum, or venture into the Boonoo-Boonoo National Park and cool-off in the rock-pools with a picnic lunch to follow.
