RAILWAY HOTEL
Gosford, NSW
www.railwayhotelgosford.com.au
The railway boom of the nineteenth century transformed Australia and at the height of this economic boom, nearly every town had a railway hotel – originally a place for travellers to rest and refuel after long and weary journeys across the country.
In true Aussie style, these railway hotels morphed into a place for people to gather, becoming the beating heart of Australian communities.
This simple philosophy inspired us to create a venue where the old meets the new in the heart of Gosford.
The Railway Hotel Gosford has been thoughtfully designed to blend the best of Australian history with contemporary flair and good old-fashioned service.

BELLS AT KILLCARE
Killcare, NSW
www.bellsatkillcare.com.au
In 2006, Coast and Country Properties – part of the John Singleton Group, purchased the Bells property and invited Karina and Brian Barry to manage the existing B&B. Together they had a vision to develop Bells as a luxury world-class retreat with an authentic regional restaurant.
They worked with Coast and Country to renovate and develop the property, in a way that would be sympathetic to the natural beauty of the area and to complement the existing buildings. In June 2016, Karina and Brian purchased the property from Coast & Country and continue to own and operate the business on a daily basis.
The property has now become one of the most recognisable and distinctive boutique hotels in Australia.
Tucked away beyond a long leafy pathway, is a property that was the home to the famous Bonython Gallery, and the family of Kym Bonython until the 1970’s.
John Singleton did not hesitate in securing ownership of this unique complex and later developed the site into corporate suites and a private leafy courtyard café.
