The Chapel known as the "Freshwater Historical Chapel" underwent a complete refurbishment internally and externally mid 2004, with the express purpose of introducing this exciting chapel to the Cairns wedding market. Situated in the leafy suburb of Freshwater, and at the base of mount Whitfield, the chapel is surrounded by beautiful gardens.
The chapel has maintained its authentic character and appeal. All the original timber pews were placed back in the Chapel which gives a feel of old world charm, lending itself to the smaller more intimate weddings
The Chapel is fully air conditioned to cater for Cairns’s summer months.
