The place is significant for its association with the Midland Railway Company transport and hospitality. It shows the changes and development in Bindoon since the war.
Original stone building had railway lines cut to length to form lintels for the door and window openings. Many extensions and alterations have taken place. Corrugated asbestos roof. Motels; timber framed, clad with flat asbestos sheets and has a hipped corrugated iron roof.
The original building (still there) was built as tearooms for the Midland Railway Company, and called 'Bindoon Park'. The tearooms provided a stop over for road buses to Geraldton after the war, and served morning and afternoon teas. A & K Mabrose were running the Bindoon park refreshment Rooms in c1957, when the road bus service was stopped. After William J (Billy) Greenaway took over, he applied for a liquor licence, and the place subsequently became the Bindoon Hotel. The motel units were constructed on the site of the former bus garage and office. Before the Brand Highway was opened in 1960, all the traffic northwards came through Bindoon.
