"my mum trained as a registered nurse at Prince Henry Hospitay in the late 40's and early 50's and helped raise money for the building of the nurses memorial chapel through the PHH Trained Nurses Association. I trained there in the 70's. It was great to see my neice married there on the 23rd August 2025... a delightful chapel with great views and fond memories through 3 generations of our family."

Can imagine this site is a perfect place for weddings and other special occasions."
