Amendments to a grand hotel at Mount White, across the road from the restaurant, Saddles, would see a wine tasting room replacing a Keg Room proposed in earlier designs.
But don’t panic: the keg room has simply been moved to another part of the building.
Grand Saddles Lodge is under construction after approval was granted in April 2024 for an integrated development including accommodation, day spa, restaurants and bars.
The proposed amendments list a number of changes to the layout of the rooms and the addition of skylights.
The site at 231 Pacific Hwy, Mount White, used to be petrol station and later became the Hawkesbury Inn in the 1960s.
It was demolished in 2021.
The new development will see improvements at the intersection of Pacific Hwy and Ashbrookes Road.
Public submissions on the amendments close on October 4. See Central Coast Council’s DA tracker for details.
