A complete renovation and restoration of the property was finished in March 2009, turning this disused former dockworkers hotel in one of Newcastle's rapidly developing harbourside suburbs, into a beautiful and modern guest house with its own, very popular, wine bar, cafe and dining room.

Owner, Scott Webster, returned to his home town of Newcastle to offer patrons the benefit of his 30 years experience working in and owning, some of the best restaurants in the world. A stone's throw from the harbour with its new yacht club, the local fishing fleet and Fisherman's Co-op, Carrington Place offers guests high quality guest house style accommodation coupled with a special food and wine experience, all at reasonable prices and close to the harbour, inner city and beaches.
