Statement of Significance

The stable/barn at the Ship Hotel, a Victorian Georgian stables building, has cultural heritage significance as an important Busselton landmark building and a fine example of early Victorian Georgian set of stables.

Physical Description

Limestone construction gabled roof barn.

A large Victorian Georgian style limestone stable/barn with a steeply pitched roof. The building is constructed of hand-hewn limestone, with windows in the long walls and doors and hayloft door in the gable end. The openings are supported on timber lintels. It has a lean-to structure on the south and a timber pergola to the north.

History

Joseph Bovell arrived in Western Australia on 20 October 1859 aboard the West Australian with his wife Elizabeth Burnside and son. He was later to become the proprietor of the Ship Hotel. A later hotel built around 1910 stands on the site of the original Ship Hotel, while the stables to the original building have survived. Subsequently in the course of the twentieth century, numerous changes and additions have taken place including a drive in bottle shop, accommodation units and a pool.
