[2] By 1883 the original wooden and corrugated iron station building was proving inadequate for the large numbers of passengers stopping for refreshments.

A new stone Victorian-style building, complete with refreshment rooms, was opened in October of that year.

An arched roof over the tracks and platforms was retained at that time, not being demolished until 1935.

[5] In 2010, restoration works began on the station building, which by then was badly deteriorated.

The fully restored building includes, as of 2024[update], Victorian-themed bed-and-breakfast accommodation and a function centre, a museum and a Diprotodon display.
