Built in 1890, our gothic church has long stood as a cornerstone of the Gympie community. After years of being vacant, this heritage-listed building has been reimagined into Surface Hill — a place to gather, connect, and celebrate.

From the intricate architecture of our historic home on Channon Street to the vibrant flavours on your plate, every detail has been carefully considered to create a dining experience that feels truly unique and memorable.
