The West Kempsey Hotel is the oldest hotel in the town and a landmark in West Kempsey. Established in 1865/66 by licensee Henry Weingarth, the colonial building was once surrounded by enough land to graze and stable horses as guests would travel on horseback or in horse drawn vehicles. Cattle sales were also held behind the venue which originally extended to Marsh Street.
The hotel once had twenty eight rooms boasting large dining rooms, kitchen and cellar. The building was subjected to extensive renovations in 1925-26 featuring early victorian architectural features. There have been later changes but the sandstock brick is still in evidence.
The Hotel has a heritage listing under the Regional Environment Protection Plan
