William Tell Rest House Reviews

When strolling around the Botanic Gardens on a warm sunny day, the William Tell Rest House which is located on the edge of the Ornamental Lake, is hard a hard place to beat. It's a beautiful cool resting place.
This little house has a long history. It was first built in 1897 and its design was based on that of the William Tell Chapel, located on the edge of Lake Lucerne in Switzerland, which William Guilfoyle, the Gardens’ second director, visited when on a trip to Europe in 1890.
This little house is not without incidence. In 1994 the original rest house was lost to an accidental fire and was replaced by a replica the following year. Then in 2004 it was once again destroyed by fire and was rebuilt a second time around in May-June 2005.

Visitors to the Melbourne Gardens will be pleased to see the restoration of the William Tell Rest House just over twelve months since it was destroyed by fire. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, the rest house will soon be restored to its rightful place on the edge of Ornamental Lake.
Construction of the Rest House began in early May with site preparation and concrete footings being poured ready for the brickwork plinth. Due to the restricted nature of the site, the Rest House has been built off-site, then dismantled, trucked to the Melbourne Gardens, craned into position and then re-erected.
Garden’s Director and Chief Executive Professor Tim Entwisle welcomed the progress that has been made in the past twelve months since the fire.
“It’s not the first time that the William Tell Rest House has been destroyed by fire. In 1994 the original rest house was lost to an accidental fire and was replaced with a replica in 1997.
“It’s heartening to see the progress that has been made to rebuilding the rest house a second time around and restoring it to its familiar place in Melbourne Gardens.”
The new rest house is a replica of the original structure built in 1897 and which was based on the design of the William Tell Chapel, located on the edge of Lake Lucerne in Switzerland, which William Guilfoyle, the Gardens’ second director, visited when on a trip to Europe in 1890.
Professor Entwisle said work is expected to be completed in July, when it will be re-opened it to the public.
Work still to be completed includes roofing, mounting the fletch, internal lining, asphalting, seat installation and some surrounding landscaping.
Repair work is also progressing on the Lake View Pavilion which was damaged by fire at the same time as the William Tell Rest House. It is anticipated that this Pavilion will also be re-opened during July.

Not far from the lake, adequate space to sit and take a breather.

A nice place to stop in the gardens however regular cleaning would be an improvement.

地段不错,房间一般,没有其他人描绘的那么好,而且不是像酒店那样每天给你打扫房间,设施陈旧。
