There has been additions to the building but the cedar woodwork inside can still be seen. The bricks used on the outside wall of the hotel were rejected by those building St Matthews Church.
Ebenezer Church was built in 1809. It was built and paid for by the free settlers at Portland Head on land donated by Tomas Cavanaugh. It was the first Presbyterian Church erected and is the oldest church still standing in Australia.
Tizzana vineyard was originally planted in 1882 by Dr Fiaschi. He originally planted 50 acres as an experiment from cutting he bought from Italy and France. He then
increased the planting up to 230 acres.
