HISTORY
The Econo Lodge Westshore Beach has been a resident of Westshore Beach community for approximately 180 years starting life as McKains Villers Accommodation House off the spit where a James McKain applied for a bush Licence to enable him to sell liquor at the House. The current Westshore Hotel can trace her roots back to this House whose licence was appeared in the “New Munster Gazette’ on 22 August 1851.
Through various gues and reincarnations as; Ahuriri, The Ferry, Ferryman’s, and latterly The Westshore. Its current location can be traced back to a fire in the then named Ferry Hotel at The Spit bridge.
The owners of The Ferry Hotel had to endure a lengthy court battle to keep the licence and to have the Hotel rebuilt. Eventually around 1925 the new Hotel was built at the junction of Meeanee Quay and Embankment Road and named The Econo Lodge Westshore Beach.
