The building is one of the earliest solid construction buildings in the area and had significance as both a meeting place for residents and as a confortable place to stay for travellers.
Original building was a single storey brick with some locally quarried stone. It consisted of two bars, commercial room, several bedrooms, the usual conveniences, amnager's quarters, kitchen and dining room. At the rear were weatherboard staff quarters. 1929 additions included 20 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and a large drawing room upstairs. Ground floor additions were a new kitchen, lounge and saloon bar.
Free standing fibro cemment motel style units were added at a later date, at the rear of the two storey section.
Integrity: Most intact.
Modifications: Addition of separate fibro cement motel style units at rear.
