About this space

Our ornate white dining room speaks to a formal wedding programme and is perfect for an intimate reception, seating up to 130 guests. During the day, it reflects a pristine white light that provides the ideal canvas to any colour scheme you might desire for your event. At night, the two oversized wood fireplaces, tea lights, pewter hurricane lamps and French sconces cast an opulent golden glow over the room.

It was in 1925 when it was voted the 'Most luxurious hotel in the Commonwealth' and was the first hotel in Australia to have phone lines to every room. In the build-up to World War II the hotel became a RAAF base, serving as a training area for budding pilots, and in 1947 and became St Anthony's College, a Franciscan friary and seminary and also used as a schoolhouse run by the monks. It was during this period that the beautiful stained glass windows, the rock walls, and fountains were built and the stunning gardens were planted and tended to. These works are still in the building and around the grounds. The gardens have now matured and considered amongst the best in Australia, and indeed the world.

Being one of the first properties in the area, the location of the building itself was chosen for its height, sitting in a majestic position on the escarpment with incredible views out to the entire area. There is not one part of the building and its grounds that hasn’t been touched by skilled local hands, with everything from the plumbing to the plastering painstakingly constructed by long-trusted local businesses. Even the ornate ceilings were the handiwork of GR. LUMB & SONS, which employed 10 people using the traditional lath and plaster method of genuine horsehair and mortar. It took a painstaking and methodical six months to complete and it not only gives incredible strength to the building, but it lends it a beautifully antiquated character.
