Statement of Significance
The Plantagenet Hotel, or Park Hotel as it was previously known, has been a significant meeting place for the local community for many years.
In 1996 the hotel continues to be a social gathering place for the local community and for visitors to the area. The large open fire in the loung area is an attractive feature on cold wet Mount Barker evenings.
