Listing Details

At the junction of the Clare and Peterborough lines, Riverton was the first station building in the area constructed in stone. It is one of the finest examples of rural railway architecture in South Australia and was officially opened in July 1999. Its historical importance has been recognised by being on the register of the National Estate, the State Heritage List and the National Trust. The town of Riverton grew around the station. The original station built in 1869 burnt down. The present building was commenced in 1875 and extended over the next 40 years until it reached its present size. Koorman Tomayeff shot Percy Brookfield, the member for Barrier in New South Wales, on the station platform in 1921. The bullet holes can still be seen in the wall. Join us for tea, to experience the relaxed atmosphere of the Riverton Station by dining al fresco on the station platform, or surrounded by paintings in one of the finest galleries in South Australia. The backdrop of this cafe is uniquely set against the art of the Riverton Gallery. The commercial gallery includes the works of local artists and features a permanent Robert Hannaford collection. Or relax and enjoy a glass of local wine in this historic bluestone building. The spacious rooms still echo with Railway memorabilia from a bygone era. Wonderful cosy fireplaces, bay windows, elaborate arches and other architectural details make this a spectacularly unique setting for dining on any scale in this historic and beautiful building. A true delight to your senses. The Ladies Waiting Room Suite part of the elegant stone station building, and restored in keeping with the Victorian era, offers accommodation and an elegant retreat for couples. The Red Hen Carriage Suites provide a different bed and breakfast experience. The carriages are nestled amongst rose gardens, cosy and comfortable, providing a restful and relaxing getaway
