He included stables at the rear for customers' horses and also a large wine cellar where the beer kegs were kept. it had a saloon bar, public bar, also a magnificent staircase built by Antoni himself, a skilled carpenter, an which still exist today.In 1939 the Hotel was fully refurbished by the then proprietor J Spencer Kerbey, and two tennis courts added for the pleasure of weekend visitors. The original iron lacework on the verandah was replaced by solid panels. Due to damage during the 1968 earthquake the verandah was removed completely.
