Four generations, countless beers poured and a legacy built on good old fashioned hospitality—that’s the Laundy way.



It all started in 1945 with the Sackville Hotel in Rozelle and grew into one of NSW’s most recognisable hospitality families. Today, with 40 venues from trusty locals to beachfront playgrounds, Laundy is where people gather, celebrate and create stories. Think Watsons Bay Boutique Hotel, The Log Cabin, Woolwich Pier, Marsden Brewhouse… the list goes on (and so do the good times).

We vibe best with people who are:

- Accountable– Own it. Fix it. Nail it.
- Curious – Ask “why” and “what if” often.
- Collaborative – Because legends don’t work alone.
- Driven – You hustle with heart without losing your cool.

We’re all about people

We’re proud to be an Equal Employment Opportunity employer and we actively encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, identities, cultures and abilities including First Nations peoples, people with disability and those from the LGBTQIA community.
