The present structure was designed by multi award winning architect Glenn Murcutt. The building was on the point of collapse and Murcutt restructured the original building to incorporate a dining room, kitchen and storage areas. In the second phase the hill behind the 'Inn' was dug out to make room for a separate pavilion to house the facilities.

The restaurant has no access by land. Diners are ferried across the river by boat to a pontoon below the entrance or the more adventurous arrive by their own vessel or sea plane. You enter through a sandstone entrance and up the stairs to the original floor level of the 'Inn'. Here louvered windows form the length of one wall overlooking the gently lapping waters of the river. The use of the louvres takes full advantage of the panorama and can be adjusted to catch the water's shifting reflections of light. The dining room is long and narrow, so every table has a view of the river and extends onto a small terrace at the eastern end.

The restaurant was acclaimed as Australia's first truly great gastronomic dining experience under the care of its founder Gay Bilson until it closed in 1995. It had changed little over the years and now once again fell into

disrepair. In 2007 Dietmar Sawyere, multi award winning chef and restauranteur, took over the lease on the property and working with Russel Koskela of Koskela Design and Ecrave Constructions they set about breathing new life into this beautiful building while retaining Glenn Murcutt's vision.

What followed was a major overhaul that included re-flooring the building in recycled blackbutt timber, cladding the open fireplaces in sandstone, and extending the outside dining area as well as a new kitchen. The aim was to re invent the interiors to suit the restaurants location of a 'luxe' river house while retaining the history and charm of the original building, all the building works were completed in an eco friendly manner.

This was beautifully achieved and to finish off the renovation the corrugated iron roof was re painted the original pale blue which along with the transparency of the dining room's façade is visible from afar, thus functioning as a kind of signboard. The rustic sandstone walls echo the rocks of neighbouring cliffs and the building sits quietly in the bush as if it has always been there.
