Raes Junction Historic Hotel


``The hotel that isn’t a hotel``. Raes Junction Hotel is an iconic ex-hotel that is now a private residence. We are currently not open to the public and are in the process of polishing up this old jewel for future generations to utilise and enjoy. Our goal is to provide a quality venue that offers art, music and accommodation to locals and visitors to the region.
Please browse through the site and connect with us if you have any questions or would like to share your past experiences at Raes Junction.

To Stretch Your Legs

Even though we’re closed for business we often have people pop by to stretch their legs and ask about the place. Providing you understand (and respect) the fact RJH is currently a private residence and not a business you are welcome to spend a few minutes shaking out your limbs and clearing your cobwebs before continuing your journey.
