ByPhil from CockatooInn.com

Hello readers! A quick website note: we have been compiling lots of stories and memories over time, and we have updated our Notable Figures page this week. We updated biography info, added musical acts who performed or were have known to perform at the Cockatoo Inn; as well as added former Cockatoo Inn owners and employees.

We have more in our data to add, but it will happen gradually throughout the year. If you have any records, photos or names that you would like to submit, please send it to Phil – friends@cockatooinn.com or DM him on Instagram (@cockatooinn). More articles are being compiled in the meantime. Thank you for your patience!

Show everyone what the best midcentury hotel and restaurant was with the official Cockatoo Inn t-shirt! Proceeds help fund this website.
