Junee Hotel on the market after Reynoldses put heart and soul into historic pub

Key points

• Brendon and Emma Reynolds have put the historic Junee Hotel on the market so they can move closer to family. The couple took over the lease in 2023 and later bought the property, restoring its rooms, bathrooms and bar.
• They have added community events, including a singles night that Emma says led to five relationships. Emma criticised government taxes on regional pubs and staffing rules that limit backpacker workers.
• The couple plan to live in the hotel while a sale progresses, which they say can take six to 12 months.
