Its stunning location encompasses a 180-degree panoramic view along Palm Cove beach, the glistening Coral Sea and the surrounding beaches. The all-glass concertina doors to the front and sides allow for an "open air" feel when fully retracted. Alternately, the chapel is fully air-conditioned for comfort when the doors are closed.

The chapel is approximately 70 square meters in size. Our custom made pews allow for seating of up to 40 people, with ample standing room within the Chapel for a further 30 people. When the concertina doors that surround the Chapel on three sides are fully open, there is additional standing room available on the Chapel deck. The maximum number of wedding guests that we can accommodate may vary depending on the time of the year.

The bride and groom stand on a polished dais, made from magnificent north Queensland hardwood. The surrounding altar table and candelbras were commissioned especially for this chapel. A centre aisle of imported white Italian marble complements the chapel.
