concerts have taken place at the Hotel since the summer of 1985 when David Helfgott performed
his first outdoor recital at the Hotel. A stage was erected at
the side of the pool for David and the piano. Chairs were put
all around the pool, and in the garden area, it was a sell-out concert
with 800 people attending. People were sitting on the footpath, in garden
beds and staircases. The concert was a great success with people asking
for more.
The idea of an amphitheatre was born, and over the years the venue has been transformed into one of the best amphitheatres in Australia of its size. Terracing has been cut out of the side and back slopes for seating, tiered seating has been added on the Hotel balconies and a sound shell has been installed over the stage position. |

When
performances take place the hotel provide its own chairs for the public,
and its own stage for the performance.
Parking attendants direct traffic, and the hotel installs lighting
in the parking areas for safety. |
