We kicked things off in 1945 with the Sackville Hotel in Rozelle and never looked back. Through grit, heart, and a knack for turning pubs into community icons, we've grown into one of NSW's most recognisable hospitality families. Today we have a diverse portfolio of 40+ venues that stretch from your trusty local, to boutique hotels and buzzy beachfront playgrounds. The heart of Laundy beats the same everywhere: Think Watsons Bay Boutique Hotel, the Woolwich Pier, the Marsden Brewhouse, and beyond, where people gather, celebrate, commiserate, and everything in between. From schooners at the local to spritzes by the sea, we've built a reputation for blending tradition with just the right splash of spunk. **We vibe best with people who are**: **Accountable**: - Own it. Fix it. Nail it. **Curious** - Ask "why" and "what if" often. **Collaborative** - Because legends don't work alone. **Driven** - You hustle hard without losing your cool. **How to apply**: **Hot Tips for Your Cover Letter** Tell us about your proudest dish, kitchen win or best cocktail, we love a good brag. Personality counts as much as plating or pouring skills (don't be afraid to let it shine). Keep it real: we'd rather your story than a stock standard template. And not the boring kind. Make it cheeky, make it clever, make us remember you. **We're all about people**: **Our Acknowledgement of Country** We recognise the Bundjalung people, Traditional Custodians of the land and waters at Evans Head. We pay our respects to Elders past and present and extend that respect to all First Nations peoples.
