Our Story
Today, the Croxton Park Hotel hosts sell-out gigs with international performers, boasts a large, family-friendly bistro with warm and helpful staff, and is forever striving to provide the best service possible to its patrons. Children's entertainers keep the kids busy on weekends, and the laid-back vibe of the bistro throughout the week, provides a calm, quiet environment to relax and unwind after a hard day's work.
But the building itself has a long and fascinating history, with nearly 200 years of service under its belt:
The Croxton Park Hotel began life on 27 April 1844, when Robert Duff was granted a license for a hotel on Plenty Road, to be known as the Pilgrim Inn. Duff and his wife were to run the hotel for nine years and the hotel was to become a well-known stopping place for gold prospectors moving up to Whittlesea and beyond.
The hotel passed through several licensees before Josiah Goyder took over in 1866. A vigorous promoter of the hotel, Goyder had the old hotel painted red and renamed the Red House Inn. Goyder, began to expand the activities of the hotel to include horse racing in a track built behind the hotel.
Over the next fifty years the range of sporting activities happening at the hotel was to vary widely and included athletics meets, pigeon shooting, football, and cricket. The hotel even boasted its own football team, the Rose of Northcote, which made its first appearance in 1904.
The hotel changed its name from the Red House Inn to the Croxton Park Hotel in 1869 when Charles Hitchen became the new publican.
In 1889 James Randall was to become the new licensee at the Croxton Park Hotel. Over the next forty years James, John and Albert Randall would all hold the license for the hotel. The Randalls established the first theatre in Northcote on grounds adjoining the hotel.
The hotel was completely rebuilt in 1897, and has undergone modernization several times since then. The 1st floor veranda of the hotel is the only part of the original structure that has managed to survive the many changing faces of the hotel.
