About Tatts
History of the Tatts
The Tatts Hotel was built by Richard Godsall in 1883 to a design by James Marks for Austin Carigg. The two-storey brick hotel featured cedar joinery and a five-stall stable. Across the street was TG Robinson & Co’s Tattersall’s horse bazaar.
This was a major commercial enterprise in the last half of the 19th century and the street served as a thoroughfare for beasts on the way to and from market.
For at least one day a year, horses for auction were paraded and prospective buyers gathered on the hotel balcony to make their bid.
Ushering a new era
In 2021, The Tatts Hotel embarked on a fresh new era with local business owners, Barry and Christina Scarborough. With the acquisition of this iconic local business, they immediately began fresh new renovations to the hotel, utilising the skills and resources of their other businesses, Aspect Joinery, Ink Creations, and Corella Group.
With a firm, modern and inclusive vision in mind, careful consideration was given to the needs of the many loyal existing patrons whilst also creating a beautiful environment for new patrons.
The result has been a welcoming and warm hotel, encouraging people from all walks of life to gather with friends and family to eat, drink and party together.
