Wisemans Inn Hotel is a historic pub at Wisemans Ferry on the Hawkesbury River, with heritage rooms in the hotel and an adjoining motel. Established in 1827, the inn includes Cobham Hall, which Solomon Wiseman built in 1826. Its original sandstone walls and convict-cut rafters are still on show, and guests say the small museum upstairs is worth a look.
There are five heritage rooms and six motel units, with a mix of shared and private bathrooms, air conditioning, tea and coffee making, car parking and free Wi-Fi. Classic pub meals are served inside or on a big deck with mountain views, and there's a kids' playground and dog-friendly areas. Reviewers often speak well of the food.
Love this pub. Great atmosphere and great food. Beautiful place to visit at the outer Northern reaches of Sydney. The Little museum up stairs is worth a look as is the convict Trail walk just on the other side of the river via the car ferry.
Going through the reviews; it looks like it can be a hit and miss. Ive dined here a few times now, and i have to admit the food (schnitzel) has been good so far. I guess it’s hard to stuff up a schnitty - then again 😂. The chef himself came out and cleared the table. Impressed. Well done guys.
We stayed on a Sat night in the motel style rooms behind the pub because we did not want a shared bathroom. The room was clean with 2 comfy single beds with nice crisp sheets. There was no TV or microwave & the curtains were a bit short to fully cover the window & outside lights on the eaves above our door stayed on all night & it was difficult to stop the light coming into the room. The price was reasonable for this basic room at $93.
