Cuckoo Restaurant - Physical Description 1
The Cuckoo Restaurant is a single storey, Swiss chalet-style restaurant, dating from 1913, on the steep hillside adjacent to the Mt Dandenong Tourist Road. The building is dominated by a series of staggered gable roofs with an interconnecting gable end roof form marking the main entrance. The front of the building, set below the road level, overlooks the driveway only while the rear of the building over looks development to the east.
The rectangular plan building is clad with vertical timber lining boards and the tiled roof edged with scalloped timber boards. The windows have a mixture of plain and arts and crafts-inspired timber surrounds, with decorative hinges for the slatted timber shutters.
The building entrance is marked by an enlarged timber replica of a cuckoo clock which is clearly visible from the road.Cuckoo Restaurant - Physical Conditions
