Summary
Justin Hemmes just unleashed his biggest hospitality project yet: The Whale hotel in Narooma, a stunning coastal resort blending retro seventies vibes with modern luxury. After three years in the making, this isn’t just a hotel—it’s a full-on lifestyle destination with Dan Hong’s revamped Queen Chow, a wellness suite complete with sauna and ice bath, and even pickleball courts. Hemmes, already a Narooma powerhouse with Quarterdeck and Lynch’s Hotel, is betting big on turning the town into a premier getaway, celebrating local charm and backing it with top-tier service and Canberra-built craftsmanship.
