“A haven amidst the mountains” whispered the wind through the trees. This is the Black Spur Inn. Right here before you stands a piece of history a testament to resilience and a welcome sight for travelers since 1863.
Originally the Narbethong Hotel the Black Spur Inn has witnessed a lot. It’s nestled in the forests at the foot of Mount Dom Dom. The Inn served as a rest stop for those climbing the challenging Black Spur road. Prospectors seeking their fortune in nearby goldfields sought refuge here. The timber industry boomed and the Inn prospered alongside it.
Two devastating bushfires tested the Inn’s strength. It survived the great 1939 fire acting as a sanctuary for the community. Black Saturday in 2009 presented another challenge. The Inn once again weathered the storm a beacon of hope amidst destruction.
