The station opened in c. 1891 as a private tourist tramway and was subsequently acquired by the NSW Government Railways in 1910.[1] The station closed on 11 March 1990. The line and station is still largely intact. The station building is an example of heritage re-use, now in use by the Lake Macquarie and District Historical Society.
