AddressIllawarra Highway,TullimbarDescriptionThe original Tullimbar store and post office was a slab building owned by T. Davis. The store was sold to Daniel Fraser in 1882 and he continued operations until the building was destroyed by fire in January 1891.

An 1892 article in the Illawarra Mercury states ‘The Tullimbar post office stores and residence which were destroyed by fire some six months ago, have been replaced by a much more ornate and commodious structure’.

The Tullimbar Inn that stands today was built c.1892 presumably on the same site as the original store.

Alfred Sawtell and his family used the as a residence. Bessie Sawtell married James Aitken c.1923 and took over occupancy of the residence until c.1926, when James and Bessie purchased the home.

In the 1970s, the residence operated as the White Horse Inn Restaurant, and now operates as the Tullimbar Inn.
