Geocache Description:


Braidwood Hotel


The Braidwood Hotel, formerly known as Commerical Hotel has a deep history! 

  • The Georgian hotel built in 1859 has four levels, stone foundations, brick walls and a shingled bloodwood roof. A cottage is also on the property.
  • The Rolling Stones frontman, Mick Jagger,  frequented the pub during the 1969 filming of Ned Kelly in which Jagger starred. Some locals say Jagger whipped the bar into a frenzy with his hit that year Jumpin’ Jack Flash, others say he played old-style honky tonk on a piano out the back and others remember the rare sight of the multi-talented musician playing guitar.
  • Five movies have been filmed in and around the pub and the town including The Year My Voice Broke, starring Noah Taylor and Ben Mendelsohn and Flirting, starring Nicole Kidman.
  • Geoffrey Rush, who starred in the 1995 movie Dad and Dave: On Our Selection, is also reported to have visited the Braidwood Hotel while on set.
  • The hotel has four open fireplaces downstairs, a commercial kitchen, 30-seat dining room on the ground level and a 30-seat dining room upstairs, new toilets and a pool room. Accommodation includes nine partially updated rooms
  • Improvements include a newly constructed basement and cellar, a glycol beer system and refrigeration compressor.
