The Vale of Avoca was a single storey hotel opened in 1879 by James and Elizabeth Egan. The second storey was added in 1926 by John and Agnes Dwyer.

It was delicenced and ceased being a hotel in 1942 but rather continued as a boarding house and then a hosiery factory until around 1952. After 1952 it was converted into flats (seven flats) with a couple of shops fronts on the ground level. One of which was occupied by Gus Mercurio who practiced as a chiropractor at the time.

"The Vale", as it is commonly known, was carefully restored in 1997 and now operates as a Bed & Breakfast Accommodation with Dining/Conference Room facilities and a new Kitchen and Café which was originally the old bar area.

Accommodation is situated on the first floor and consists of 8 rooms including a family suite with 3 single beds and an apartment. There are 4 bathrooms, 7 rooms are equipped with a queen size bed, reverse cycle air conditioning, TV, fridge and tea/coffee facilities.  There is also a large lounge room and a games room on the first floor and of course access to the balcony where you can sit to watch the sunrise and/or the sunset. A fully cooked breakfast is served in the dining room on the ground floor.

Lunches and Evening meals are also available for guests.
