It is located adjacent to the formation of the former branch line to the weir - the Mundaring Weir Railway on a hill to the north, and above Mundaring Weir.
It was previously known as the Reservoir Hotel,[1][2] then the Goldfields Weir Hotel,[3][4][5] has been in the area since 1898. It was a crucial location where C. Y. O'Connor stayed regularly during the construction of the weir.
In the 1910s and 1920s due to the functioning railway access, it was regularly advertised as a weekender location.[6][7]
After a period of decline followed the closure of the branch railway in the early 1950s, as well as the gradual reduction of staff and employees of the weir,[8] and gradual reduction in forestry operations over time.[9]
The current owner, Jens Jorgensen who bought it in 1984.[10] It has been the location of annual concerts which included David Helfgott concerts during and after his recovered career as concert pianist.[5]
