About
Flower Hotels brings regional communities together.
The Flower Hotel Group was established by Alistair and Renee Flower in 2015 and is based on the Mid North Coast, NSW.
After years of managing large scale hospitality groups, Alistair Flower branched off to create Flower Hotels. Purchasing Settlers Inn in Port Macquarie, he and wife Renee have since acquired 4 additional venues within the Hastings Region.
The group aims to reignite establishments to bring the community together for the long term. ‘Good food & a friendly atmosphere’ is the group philosophy, successfully transforming their 5 venues into thriving hubs for locals and travellers alike.
Through the employment of more than 100 local staff and the continued support of sporting and community groups, Flower Hotels is proud to be known as the beating heart of the community.

Enquiries
IMPORTANT COVID-19 ANNOUNCEMENT
The health and safety of our staff, our patrons and our community is always our highest priority. With that in mind, our management team has made the difficult decision to deny entry to guests from the City of Sydney, Waverley, Randwick, Canada Bay, Inner West, Bayside, and Woollahra local government areas. Please note, all guests will be asked to provide proof of address on entry and a suburb listing will be posted at our entrance.
Exceptions will be made for guests from these LGA's who've spent more than 14 days outside of these areas. You will be required to show accommodation receipts or similar information to staff. We thank you for your understanding in what is an extremely complex matter.
We have re-introduced our Covid Safety Marshalls and as always we have sanitizer located in all key areas of the venue.
Our management team will continue to monitor the recommendations from the NSW Government and will continue to adjust our COVID plan in line with that advice.
Please contact us directly with any queries.
