The part on the right of the photo is the original building to be added to by the rest in the photo. Buses and cars pulled in under the verandah .There was a beautiful big foyer, large dining room and staircase plus big fireplaces where we were allow…

Linda Skelton I wish I could find the diary that had it all written down but I remember your Dad picking me up outside that front door after I flaked out and carrying me to the car with Griff running ahead to open the door and telling our kids in the car that Mum was fine just drunk. Eunice Timpson was cook there at that time and some guys were staying in the pub shouting her drinks and because I was sitting with her I got given drinks too, the cold air hit me when I went out the door your father must have been right behind me.

Was originally referred to as "The Hostel." I presume this refers to the building where road makers stayed when they were building this part of the Lewis Pass. Still being called this in the 50s and 60s.

Arthur Bass Buck Anderson always referred to it as the hostel.

Linda Skelton It was an accommodation and boarding house . My Grand parents and family used to go up there to 'take the waters' as is written in an old diary. Went by horse and cart and stay for a holiday. Was popular then. Dad filled flagons of the mineral water across the river for grandad which he drank every day. Must have been good cause he lived to a ripe old age
