About the Business
Welcome to the Blue Gum Hotel, an iconic institution on the north shore of Australia. With a history dating back to 1884, this establishment has seen many changes and challenges, including two destructive fires. However, the current building, completed in 1962, stands as a testament to resilience and determination.
Recently, we have undergone a significant transformation, with major renovations and new decor in our Bistro, Bar, and Pokie areas. The fresh and brighter look adds to the old charm and atmosphere of the hotel, creating a welcoming and enjoyable experience for all.
Open seven days a week, the Blue Gum Hotel invites you to join us for lunch or dinner, a drink after work, a family Sunday lunch, or a night out with friends. Conveniently located on the corner of Pacific Highway and Unwin Road in Waitara, we are just a few minutes walk from Waitara Train Station.
Step into our Bistro and be transported to a world of old-world charm, with period pictures dating back to 1884 adorning the walls. Our menu showcases modern Australian cuisine, featuring traditional pub classics, succulent steaks, and fresh seafood. We believe in the "paddock to plate" philosophy, ensuring that our food is of the highest quality by constantly changing and adapting our menu to showcase the best produce available.
The main and lounge bar is open seven days a week, offering a relaxed atmosphere for a quick drink after work, birthday celebrations, a casual lunch, or a fun night out with friends. With an extensive selection of wines and a regularly rotating craft beer menu, we have something to satisfy every taste.
If you're looking for a convenient way to stock up on your favorite drinks, our drive-in bottle shop, part of Bottlemart, offers competitive prices and a wide range of options. Take advantage of our weekly specials or consult our knowledgeable bottle shop manager for recommendations.

Reviews
"Amazing pub food! They're steaks are juicy and tender. They're chips are crunchy and salty. We often order the schnitzel too which is crunchy and yummy. Definitely give this place a try!"
"Restaurant was perfect. For accommodation above a pub it is good enough. Rated it a 5 star because I’m being fair - I’ve got no complaints (not because it’s a typical 5 star room).. bathroom very clean."
"I have never given a 1 star review, in fact, I’ve only give 5 star reviews! So this review should highlight my disappoint. This used to be a great place to eat, but has gone downhill significantly in terms of food quality and prices. $17 for a bowl of chips feels disappointing. I wouldn’t have written this review and just stopped going to this pub, except that we found that our loyalty card points ($20) had been cancelled with the financial year. That was the final nail in the coffin. Beware, this place is VERY expensive."
"Great family meal with friends! A big thanks to the team at the Blue Gum last night who delivered some excellent meals for a number of families we were with. Lots of options and very fresh and tasty. And importantly, the team are so honest and helpful. I accidentally left my handbag at a table and only realised later in the evening but the staff had found it and safely kept it in the office. A huge thank you!!"
"Only went to the pub and bistro so I can't comment on the accommodation. Portions were good, the burgers are probably a bit pricier than your standard pub fare as are the desserts. The margarita pizza was great and the tacos were awesome."
