THE THEATRE & FUNCTION AREA

This amazing thespian dream of 'a theatre in the rainforest' was brought to life in the 90's by Australian actress, Diane Cilento. "Karnak" comprises of an open air theatre (complete with covered stage and bar and function area) overlooking a scenic lake. Karnak was a fully licensed theatre and restaurant/bar. With relevant approvals still in place, this makes it easier for successful re-application.

Built in 1992, with open air, tiered seating it created the perfect experience for performances in the tropics. The Playhouse is accessed by a dramatic grand staircase that leads visitors to the first floor where there is an expansive undercover area. Magnificent contemporary stained glass windows are a centrepeice. There is a timber bar, cool room, and a bank of fridges. There is also a commercial kitchen. Downstairs are the dressing rooms and the toilets. These facilities are not currently operational and would require considerable renovation.
