Before the war, the hotel (and especially its bar) were enjoyed by the local miners. In the evenings, the hotel bar seemed to be overflowing with mine workers,
sometimes joined (to their utter
delight) by Sir Thomas Cullinan for sundowners. During that time, the
beer was delivered in barrels and
rolled down the ramp into the wine
cellar. The wine cellar and ramp
still exist today.
You can now enjoy romantic dinners, vintage-themed celebrations or small functions in this 114-year-old wine
cellar for unforgettable memories.
