Boydtown Eden VIC NSW
The principal relic of Ben Boyd's adventures is the Seahorse Inn which began construction in 1843 however, symbolic of Boydtown itself the hotel was never fully completed. It was abandoned in 1849 and for almost a century was left vacant, reduced to a mere shell due to vandalism and deterioration.
In 1936 it was purchased by the Whiter Brothers who renovated it and added a second story.
In 1975 Bruce Lyon purchased the Seahorse Inn and continued to restore the building throughout the 1980's and 1990's. In 2002 he closed the Inn and spent a considerable amount of time renovating and refurbishing the old hotel. He added the Brasserie and Conference rooms and transformed it into the beautiful hotel it is today. Accommodation is available. Open 7 days. |
